Mediterranean Cuisine

About the Book

An easy way of knowing a country's culture is through their food and their cuisines. This book includes more than 50 traditional recipes of the Mediterranean cuisine, grouped as: (Soups), (Salads), (Appetizers), (Rice Dishes), (Meat and Chicken), (Fish), and (Desserts). Every recipe is shown in an alongside full-color photo, with step-by-step instructions. So even a beginner cooker can use these recipes, and it will be tasted like something that as someone else made it. There are many people today who are suffering from being overweight. Healthy living is something which everyone strives for in today’s world. In my book, I focus on nutritional benefits information of the ingredients. Healthy eating food is about more than the food on our plate, it is also about how we think about food. Research in Mayo clinic has shown that the traditional Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of heart disease. The Mediterranean diet emphasizes: • Eating primarily plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts. • Replacing butter with healthy fats such as olive oil. • Using herbs and spices instead of salt to flavor foods. I've used (cups and spoons) to measuring the quantities of ingredients in my recipes. This makes cooking easier and more universally applicable. I hope you enjoy my healthy Mediterranean dishes.
