Most of us need to take better care of ourselves. We are working longer hours, getting less rest, and eating unhealthier every day. Some of us will watch what we eat, others may try a cleanse, yet few will find a lasting solution that will address our whole being. Luckily, we don't have to go to such extremes-we can just go to the Mediterranean (the Mediterranean lifestyle at least!) The Good Life! Mediterranean Diet Cookbook introduces not only the healthy, nutritious eating patterns of the people of the Mediterranean, but also their day-to-day habits that have been proven just as important as the food they eat. Greek-American chef Dorothy Calimeris began eating a Mediterranean diet as early as she can recall, long before doctors recommended it as a heart healthy "diet." Today Dorothy realizes how good life was back then-and how important it is to make the right food choices now.
