The health benefits of incorporating the Mediterranean diet's vegetables, fish, whole grains, olive oil and fresh herbs are well documented. With the newly published "Easy Everyday Mediterranean Diet Cookbook," registered dietitians Deanna Segrave-Daly and Serena Ball show how to keep these foods on regular rotation in your kitchen, with 125 recipes.
The book includes pantry lists to stock a Mediterranean kitchen, tips on avoiding food waste, and some myth-busting of claims about costs and carbs. Five-day meal plans guide those who want gluten-free, vegetarian, twice-weekly seafood, or meatless Monday menus.
