Mediterranean Cooking

Magazine

Mediterranean cooking is inspired by the eating habits in Greece, Spain and the southern areas of Italy and France. Natural foods like fruits, veggies, nuts, legumes, whole grains and olive oil are central to the cuisine in these areas. The colorful dishes are flavored with fresh, aromatic herbs and garlic, and wine consumption is welcome (yay!). Since the focus is on whole foods, most of the recipes are simple to prepare. To help you keep up with your busy schedule, we included the FAST! icon on recipes that prep in 30 minutes or less. So start today--there's no better time to start eating well and enjoying meals with those you love.
