The Modern Mediterranean Cookbook Martha Stone

The Mediterranean diet has been enjoyed for centuries, but within the last sixty years it has been the subject of much interest. People in the southern Mediterranean countries tend to have less heart disease, even though they consume more fat than many dietary guidelines recommend. Our diet is one of abundance, not restriction, a combination of tastes with healthy foods full of vibrant colors and rich aromas, traditional recipes with modern twists that will transport you across the Atlantic Ocean.
