Indie Book Award – Cooking/Home/Garden
Welcome to the pages of my newest cookbook, More Lean and Luscious Mediterranean.
For generations, many of the approximately 125 million people in the Mediterranean have eaten fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads and pastas, nuts and legumes, fish, chicken, turkey, scant amounts of pork, and occasional beef. Their food is cooked and seasoned with olive oil, among the healthiest oils we can consume. They have learned to drink plenty of water, eat slowly, and stay physically active. We can sample from their great habits things that we can each incorporate into our lives.
This new cookbook was put together with you in mind—to help you easily prepare good and healthy food for your family and yourself, using ingredients you already have in your kitchen!
