Book Description
With The Essential Mediterranean, Nancy Harmon Jenkins continues her lifelong exploration of Mediterranean food -- how it is grown, prepared, and shared around the table. In her latest book, Ms. Jenkins introduces cooks and readers to a cluster of core ingredients and foodways that are fundamental to all of the Mediterranean's diverse cuisines. She shows how the Mediterranean attitude toward food -- a combination of respect, integrity, enthusiasm, and sheer joy -- can be cultivated across the Atlantic. In twelve informative and captivating chapters, the author focuses on the core ingredients common to the diverse cuisines of the region: salt, wine and vinegar, pasta and couscous, bread, olive oil, Old World legumes, New World peppers and tomatoes, dairy products, the family pig, and the resources of the sea. In each chapter she travels to a different corner of the Inner Sea to describe how and why these essential ingredients are obtained, what determines their quality, and where they fit in local cuisines. Each chapter draws on history and ethnography as much as on the lives of Mediterranean people today. Readers will delight in Majid Mahjoub, the colorful Tunisian "Shakespeare of olive oil," and commiserate with Provencal cheese maker Yves van Weddingen as he struggles to maintain his standards in the face of bureaucratic demands. Home cooks will garner a new appreciation of high-quality Spanish jamon de bellota as they follow the Trigo family through the annual winter ritual of transforming the family pig into hams and sausages. More than 170 contemporary, accessible recipes, simple to reproduce at home, bring the foods and the regions alive, while additional chapters include basic procedures and staples, as well as a helpful guide to ingredient sources. The Essential Mediterranean gets to the heart of this world, celebrating its diverse food cultures and the shared ingredients that are the essence of these remarkable cuisines.

Book Description
A Mediterranean diet has been known to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and makes people healthier in general. In particular, it reduces the incidence of heart attacks by 30-40% and deaths from heart disease by 20%. It may be one reason why people living in the Mediterranean region have longer life expectancies than those living in other parts of the world. It is characterized by a pattern of eating that includes fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, olives and olive oil. Fish and dairy products are eaten in small amounts. Red meat is consumed rarely. The term 'Mediterranean' itself was introduced by Ancel Keys in the 1970s. The original designations were 'Mediterranean Cause', because this diet was being publicized as a preventative for cancer, and 'Mediterranean Life' as it promoted longevity. Over the years, these designations have been associated with many specifics such as "Mediterranean DASH", "MedDiet", and "High Fiber". Moreover, studies have revealed that the Mediterranean diet is also associated with higher cognitive function in older adults. A study published in 2007 by researchers at Harvard University showed that people who closely adhere to a Mediterranean diet (Modified Mediterranean Diet Score, i.e. MDS) have better cognitive function than people who do not adhere to a Med diet. This book covers ? Breakfast recipes ? Appetizers and snacks ? Main dish ? Vegetables and side dishes ? Soup and stew recipes And much more A Mediterranean style diet is one rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes and healthier fats like avocado. This type of diet has been found to lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and much more. The Mediterranean Diet has been in the news extensively and is a subject of discussion on standard news networks. The Mediterranean Diet is often misrepresented as a fad diet, but it has been proven to have remarkable health benefits.

The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook

Languages : en
Pages : 210

Book Description
The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook is your guidebook to the ultimate superdiet, an evidence-based keto diet that emphasizes a diversity of fish, healthy fats, and a rainbow of colorful vegetables—with 100 delicious recipes for everything from snacks to dinner. The Mediterranean diet has long been touted as one of the world’s healthiest diets, renowned for its protective effects against heart disease, cancer, and other chronic illnesses. However, its heavy inclusion of grains and carbohydrates can contribute to obesity and is a drawback for many. Also shown to have many health benefits, the ketogenic diet stimulates the fat-burning and longevity-promoting state of ketosis by limiting carbs and emphasizing high-fat foods. While the keto diet is about the proportion of macronutrients (fats, protein, carbohydrates) in the food you eat, the Mediterranean diet is about specific food types: seafood, olive oil, colorful vegetables, and other anti-inflammatory foods. This book is about living and eating at the intersection of these complementary diets so you can reap the benefits of both. While both diets advocate significant amounts of healthy fats and protein, the new Mediterranean approach to keto significantly shifts the fat profile of the diet to emphasize the monounsaturated and omega-3 fats that health experts agree promote living a long disease-free life. It also includes colorful vegetables, providing a diversity of nutrients and flavor. The result is an enhanced Mediterranean diet that stokes metabolism, supports the gut and microbiome, and is anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and nutrient-dense. Improve your overall health while enjoying delectable dishes including: Superfood Shakshuka Blender Cinnamon Pancakes with Cacao Cream Topping Green Goddess Salad Pancetta Wrapped Sea Bass Sheet Pan Crispy Salmon Piccata Fierce Meatball Zoodle Bolognese Nordic Stone Age Bread Chocolate Hazelnut “Powerhouse” Truffles With The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, you’ll learn how to balance your macronutrients, what foods are considered the new Mediterranean superfoods, and how to make tasty dishes to keep you satisfied all day.
