The pristine beaches, azure sea, and historic richness of Greece aren’t the only reasons Americans are attracted to the Greek way of life——the juicy ripe tomatoes, creamy feta, and aromatic olive oil are just a few of the intensely satisfying flavors we just can’t seem to get enough of. Eating the Greek Way captures the freshness of Mediterranean cooking with more than 100 delicious and healthful dishes that will help you look and feel great——and bring the rich experience of the Greek Islands into your everyday life.
The beauty of Eating the Greek Way is that every tantalizing meal in this book can help you lose weight and improve your health. Using the foundations of olive oil, garlic, wine, fish, nuts, yogurt, cheese, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins——ingredients found in a supermarket——these wholesome dishes will delight every palate. Reinvigorating familiar ingredients in a new way, Eating the Greek Way shares irresistible recipes, including Baked Prawns with Feta and Tomatoes, Spanish Chicken Casserole with Green Lentils, Lamb with Apricots and Almonds, and Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée.
Packed with vibrant color photographs of the dishes as well as beautiful pictures of the landscape that inspired them, Eating the Greek Way is a treat for the senses and will revolutionize the way you think about healthful eating.

Customer Rating:      Summary: American edition of Greek Doctor's diet cookbook. Comment: The book is full of nice and easy to follow recipies. However I am dissapointed it was not mentioned that it is the american edition of "The Greek Doctor's diet cookbook" that I bought on amazon slightly over a year ago so I ended up having two copies of one book.
Customer Rating:      Summary: informational and colorful Comment: Dr. Lindberg starts with the health benefits and principles of the Greek Mediterranean diet and includes: a sample daily and weekly menu, portion sizes, glycemic index, shopping list, healthy ingredients explanation, kitchen ingredients and equipment lists, and more. The pictures are beautiful. This is a concise and comprehensible book with simple, interesting recipes. The back section contains a GL (glycemic load) breakdown list, which may be a helpful tool in choosing foods for this diet, other diet, or in general. My background: BA in Foods & Nutrition, MSED in Family & Consumer Sciences Education (FCS), and teaching certification in FCS.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Nothing New Comment: Nice concept, nice photos but there is nothing new about this book. If you own South Beach, it is very similar. Contains several Greek inspired recipes.
