My Mediterranean Life

Transform your health and boost your energy with more than 200 easy, delicious recipes for weight loss, longevity and disease prevention. Bestselling clinical nutritionist Sarah Di Lorenzo combines her family's cherished recipes, her extensive clinical expertise and science-backed research to present a contemporary adaptation of the Mediterranean diet.  The Mediterranean diet involves the type of eating observed in the world’s Blue Zones – regions known for exceptional longevity and low rates of chronic diseases – where you eat plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, extra-virgin olive oil, fish and nuts, with limited processed foods. This helps to lower your rates of cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes, reduce inflammation and obesity, and increase your lifespan. In this book Sarah aims to share not just the health benefits of the Mediterranean way of eating, but the key principles and lifestyle. Inside you’ll find some of her delicious and easy-to-follow family favourites, such as spanakopita, stuffed tomatoes, roasted artichokes, pilafi, prawn saganaki, Mediterranean roast lamb for a Sunday lunch, along with sweet treats such as orange and honey paximathia and baked ricotta figs.  Whether you're looking to eat cleaner, improve gut health, or impress guests with nourishing meals, this cookbook has something for every occasion.
