Book review: The Mediterrasian Way

Posted on Aug 27th 2007 10:00AM by Bethany Sanders
Though I love to cook, I'm prefer the simple life. If I see a recipe with too many ingredients, I'm likely to pass. I'm also likely to avoid it if it contains ingredients I've never heard of, are too hard to find, or if I don't keep many of them on hand. And if it takes longer than 30 minutes to prepare, forget about. That's why I was so pleased when I reviewed the 150 recipes inside Ric Watson's and Trudy Thelander's The Mediterrasian Way. Not only do their recipes promise to be full-flavored and nutritious, they also look relatively simple to create.

Recipes aren't all you'll find in this interesting volume. Watson and Thelander discuss how adopting a "Mediterrasian" lifestyle can protect your health and prevent disease. Adopting cuisine from both Mediterranean and Asian cultures, the authors have created dishes that are rich in whole grains, healthy fats, and fresh fruits and vegetables. They also encourage activity and time to reflect.

This is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. But adopting the Mediterrasian Way will prevent obesity and help you trim pounds along the way. Learn more at their website, and take a minute to look through the recipes there as well.
