About the Book. Renowned for its rich history, stunning coastline, and famously long-lived populations, the Mediterranean region has become a byword for healthy eating. Major scientific studies have repeatedly shown that a diet built around olive oil, nuts, beans, fish, whole grains, fruits and vegetables can meaningfully reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic illness. In this book, internationally recognised Mediterranean cuisine expert Amy Riolo moves beyond the simplified, Westernised versions of the diet found in many other cookbooks, instead presenting the cuisine as it is genuinely eaten across Italy, Greece, Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey and beyond. Each of the 100 recipes is set within the framework of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid, so readers can see exactly how frequently a dish should feature in a balanced weekly diet. Alongside every recipe, a "Mediterranean Tradition" sidebar offers cultural history, entertaining anecdotes, and nutritional insight, turning the cookbook into a genuine armchair journey around the region as well as a practical kitchen companion. Drawing on the latest clinical findings, Riolo dispels common myths about the diet while showing home cooks how simple, seasonal, and satisfying truly authentic Mediterranean cooking can be, whether you are cooking
