About the Book
Much has been written about the Mediterranean diet, but Nikki Rose’s little book just might be my favorite. It is so to the point, so clear, so accessible and so delicious if you cook from it. I’m impressed that Nikki Rose could say so much in so few pages!
Deborah Madison, chef and author
Many tout the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet but with little cultural context for the rich milieu in which the diet and its benefits are enjoyed. Nikki Rose shows in this slim but rich book, the people, the land and its flavors are inextricably linked. This is the cultural study of food and nutrition as it should be done.
Dr. Jonathan Deutsch, Drexel University
This is one of the best books on the Mediterranean Diet that I have come across. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their health while experiencing all the joys of Mediterranean eating.
George Mateljan, Philanthropist, Author of the World's Healthiest Foods
