Mediterranean Diet Cookbook: A Lifestyle of Healthy Foods

The Mediterranean Diet consists of eating the traditional foods (and drinks) of the countries neighboring the Mediterranean Sea. It is not a traditional diet in the sense of “go on a diet”, even though it is a great way to lose weight and improve health. More accurately, it is a lifestyle involving activities, foods, and wine in moderation. The Mediterranean Diet has been studied and documented by numerous leading scientists as one of the healthiest lifestyles in the world. Almost as important is the fact that the Mediterranean Diet is full of delightfully appetizing, flavor-filled dishes and meals. For example, consider these easy, yet healthy and delectable dishes:

Sicilian-Style Strata
Seared Sea Scallops with Spinach and Toasted Pistachios
Portuguese Bean Soup with Sweet Potatoes
Cioppino with Cod, Mussels & Shrimp
Almond-Crusted Chicken with Romesco Sauce
Mediterranean Pizza
Figs with Balsamic Vinegar, Mascarpone, and Walnuts
