Publisher's Synopsis
The Mediterranean Diet is one of the most positively talked about and widely promoted diet plans, whether you're online, at the grocery store, or reading celebrity interviews. The key to success with the Mediterranean Diet is not approaching it as a quick fix or a temporary weight loss option, but rather as a permanent change in your eating habits to improve your health and extend your years.
The Ultimate Mediterranean Diet Cookbook starts with a basic overview of the Mediterranean Diet, how it works, and how new dieters can get started on their dietary transformation journey. Once readers see the fundamentals of the Mediterranean Diet, the recipes that follow will help them take the first steps toward their health goals.
The recipes included in this book are simple, flavorful, and take no more than two hours (at the longest) from start to finish! Each chapter contains 20 recipes devoted to each meal of the day and the bites in between:
- Breakfasts to help you start your day off right
- Lunches to keep you energized throughout the busiest parts of your day
- Dinners that work for just as well for meal planning individuals as they make larger families
- Snacks that are healthy but so delicious you won't even realize it
- Desserts that are beautiful and rich without being bad for you
The themed weekly menus that finish off the cookbook help beginners and long-time Mediterranean Diet followers alike understand how to design their weekly menus based around their schedules and personal dietary needs!
- The Basic Weekly Menu provides mix and match meal options for five full days, and two days of leftovers gives readers a look at what their meals should look like every week without any special events or extra guests to entertain.

The Ultimate Mediterranean Diet Cookbook makes a great gift for yourself or anyone ready to embrace Mediterranean living from their kitchen. This valuable tool is not only informative, but fun to follow for dieters of any level!
