1000 Mediterranean Meals brings recipes from Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Egypt, Turkey, France, Morocco, Lebanon, and other Mediterranean nations straight to your dinner table!Unlike other diets with strict rules and hard laws, the Mediterranean diet encourages you to
eat more whole foods from the entire food pyramid without sacrificing taste or your health. Incorporating all the traditional healthy living habits of people from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea has never been easier. Mediterranean recipes include lots of
vegetables,
legumes,
whole grains,
breads,
fruits,
nuts,
seeds, and
olive oil, as well as plenty of
fish,
poultry, and
small amounts of red meat. By focusing on what goes into your body and consuming only fresh, unprocessed, and unrefined foods that are (usually) low in trans fats, you can
live a healthier lifestyle without cutting out your favorite foods.
Mediterranean food is not just really good for you, it is also really
delicious to eat and
pretty to look at. Encompassing the culinary traditions and cultures of all the countries that border the Mediterranean waters, this is convivial food that suits the climate and the pace of life, consisting largely of lots of little dishes made out of tantalizing and delicious local specialties—from
grilled fish to delicate
filled pastries,
tasty stews, and
fresh produce combined into salads. This is food that will enliven even the most jaded palate, where the key is always variety to satisfy even the hungriest diner.

additions and substitutions for people that like changing their favorite dishes around from time to time. Recipes for
