Mediterranean cuisines take a real food approach to healthy eating that embraces variety, flavour and nutrient-rich ingredients. Most dishes are designed to be shared around the table to develop a sense of community and connection that is just as essential for our wellbeing and happiness. People who eat a Mediterranean diet share many commonalities including a longer life expectancy, healthier hearts and lower rates of chronic disease.

The Mediterranean diet, often referred to as the healthiest diet in the world, is not based on strict food rules, but is a way of eating that embraces the best ingredients and overall balance, with the enjoyment of feed at its core, helping you to live a longer, healthier and happier life. It is centred on real, minimally processed foods (wholegrains), plenty of plant foods (fruit and vegetables), as well as seafood and fish, yoghurt, pulses, seeds and nuts. In this book, you'll find more Mediterranean-style recipes for breakfasts, light meals, dinners, sharing-style dishes and sweets, helping you to live a longer, healthier and happier life.

Based on the healthy eating habits of the Mediterranean, this book offers an accessible, way of life anyone can follow. This balanced diet is built on treating familiar ingredients simply; think loads of fresh vegetables, fish, olive oil and nuts supplemented with meat and dairy (and even a little red wine). For those searching for the most effective, cardiovascular healthy eating plan that can ward off age-related diseases and potentially increase longevity, look no further.
