There is a slant to explaining why this palette of food, flavors, and methods is healthy, but eschews detailed nutritional analysis for the principle that good food, simply prepared and savored is healthy. Recipes draw on Spain, Morroco, Tunisia, Italy, Greece, Lebanon united by their common Mediterranean history. Practical, like all of the three NHJ books, but with slightly less food history, and with the blessings of Marion Nestle. no reviews | add a review
