Who wants to eat delicious food and live a long and healthy life?
When those of us in the United States think of dieting, it often involved lots of “don’ts” and specialized, processed diet foods. For those who live in the Mediterranean area, it’s all about enjoying life, staying active and eating good food. That method is successful and won’t leave you feeling like you’re missing out the way other diets do.
The Ultimate Mediterranean Diet Cookbook is a wonderful book that is more than just a cookbook. There are, of course, recipes, but there are also nutritional explanations and information on the food culture of the Mediterranean region. Author Amy Riolo helps us understand what to eat, when to eat it and why this all makes sense and has been working for generations in that part of the world.
You can see some of the wonderful foods using recipes from the book on Mama Likes To Cook. And, yes, the raspberry dessert was delicious! The recipes were prepared by the chefs at Melissa’s Produce.
