The Vegiterranean Diet: The New and Improved Mediterranean Eating Plan—with Deliciously Satisfying Vegan Recipes for Optimal Health

The Mediterranean diet has been touted for years as a way of eating that promotes good health. Look at the classic elements, and there’s no surprise why: plenty of vegetables and fruits, beans and legumes, whole grains. The regular Mediterranean diet also includes plenty of fish and olive oil, but registered dietician Julieanna Hever assures readers that animal products and added oils are unnecessary to reap the benefits of this healthy way of eating. With The Vegiterranean Diet, Hever offers a fully vegan way to eat in the Mediterranean style. This book explores the elements of the Mediterranean diet that make it so healthy, discusses reasons to consider a fully vegan diet, and offers a crash course in vegan nutrition. And then, of course, there are the recipes: beverages and dips, snacks, and salads, filling entrees, and desserts. Feast on Hearty Red Lentil Stew followed by Grilled Nectarines with Amaretto Gelato. Try your hand at making a loaf of Baked Oat Bread, or delight your family with Chocolate Hazelnut Chia Pudding. The majority of the ingredients can be found at a regular grocery store, and the instructions are simple to understand. Give The Vegiterranean Diet a try!
