Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Discover just how easy it is to cook and enjoy the world's healthiest diet—without spending hours shopping for ingredients or cooking in your kitchen.

Fad diets come and go, but the Mediterranean Diet is the diet that doctors and nutritionists consistently recommend, year after year. It has, after all, ranked #1 for eight years straight in the US News and World Report survey of health professionals. They like it because it provides nutritional completeness, reduces health risks, helps manage weight effectively over the long term, is easy to sustain, and is evidence-based.

What could be better than all that? How about delectable foods from some of the world's tastiest cuisines—French, Italian, Spanish, Greek, and Middle Eastern, for starters? 5-Ingredient Mediterranean Cookbook makes it easy to embrace this unrivalled diet with 80 delicious throw-together recipes, each with a mouthwatering photograph. The recipes include:

  • Citrus-Marinated Salmon
  • Mediterranean Grilled Shrimp
  • Roman Roasted Chicken
  • Polenta with Porcini Mushrooms
  • Chickpea Fritters
  • Fennel Tzatziki
  • Provencal Herb Tartlets
  • Poached Vanilla-Scented Pears

Although many dishes from the great Mediterranean cuisines have unwieldy ingredient lists, tricky techniques, and long cooking times, that's not the case for these amazing recipes—carefully curated to require a maximum of five ingredients and a minimum of time and fuss.

Eat in the healthiest way possible without spending all day at the store or in the kitchen with 5-Ingredient Mediterranean Cookbook.
