“The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook for Beginners provides valuable information on the traditional Mediterranean diet and its representative foods, identifying mainly Greek foods, mostly of which are virtually unknown, together with some recipes from southern Italy. Indeed, a much-needed book in this time of confusion. Elena Paravantes provides us with an informed approach to the traditional Mediterranean Diet offering a clear method to introduce this dietary pattern with its health benefits, delicious taste, and contribution as a sustainable food system.” (from Amazon)
