Sinopse

“Retains the innate taste and texture of Mediterranean cuisine while updating the techniques and diet constraints in innovative ways for today’s lifestyle.” —Nathalie Dupree, celebrated Charleston chef  
 
Patricia Moore-Pastides, an accomplished cook and public-health professional, presents an appetizing introduction to the wonderful flavors and health benefits of the traditional Mediterranean diet with dozens of easy-to-make and impossible-to-resist recipes. 
 
Greek Revival showcases a pantheon of healthy recipes, accompanied by beautiful color illustrations, helpful preparation techniques, and tips for making the most of familiar ingredients, from colorful fresh fruits and vegetables, to whole grains, beans, and seafood. Always mindful of time, health, and budget, the author makes wonderful use of natural, minimally processed ingredients readily found in most neighborhood supermarkets. Recipes include dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with cracked wheat and pine nuts), imam baildi (caramelized eggplant), gemista (vegetables stuffed with barley and mint), xifias souvlaki (herbed swordfish kebabs), tavas (oven-roasted onion, tomato and lamb stew), karidopita (spiced walnut cake), and many more. 
 
Throughout the book Moore-Pastides shares lively stories of her days living in Greece and Cyprus that exemplify the enduring charm of an Old World lifestyle. Her observations are supported with illuminating summaries of current scientific research. Health-conscious readers looking to improve their diets and protect themselves from the perils of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease will find hope in the author’s research, presented in a way that is accessible and inspiring. 
 
“She shares with us an insider’s view of Greek culture and deserves high praise for her engaging writing, creativity, and deeply felt passion for promoting a more healthy and balanced way of life.” —Zoe Kosmidou, Minister Counselor for Cultural Affairs, Embassy of Greece

    When you're trying to lose weight, it's reasonable to want to lose body fat in specific areas. You want flat abs, a tighter tummy, leaner legs, or less flabby arms. But often you're told it just isn't possible. Nonsense!I have seen my clients get the results they want faster than ever with a customized approach - helping them become their own diet detective to find which foods work best for their body. And now I want to share what I've discovered with you so you can have the body and confidence you desire.The problem with the health and fitness industry is that it makes people think they are weak and that the best way to achieve the body they want is to suck it up and push harder. Just look at the most popular TV shows like the Biggest Loser where the trainers exhaust the participants with 8 hours of exercise per day and put them on an extremely low-calorie diet.But if more is better, why do the majority of these participants rebound and gain all of their weight back again and again?The truth is you're stronger than you think. It isn't that you somehow lack willpower or discipline; it's that you just don't have the right heuristics yet, which a mentor of mine once defined as the ability to make a decision based on limited amounts of information. The beauty of a heuristic is that it doesn't drain your willpower like calorie-counting or other fad diets may.In this book, I'll share with you how to craft your own diet heuristic so you can make good eating decisions no matter where you are or how much willpower you have.The hardest part about getting in shape and losing weight is taking the first step, so don't worry if you've never been able to achieve your weight loss goals before!

    For twenty-five years, Alice Waters and her friends at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California have dedicated themselves to the ideal of serving the finest, freshest foods with simplicity and style. From tender baby asparagus in early spring, to the colorful spectrum of peppers at the height of summer; crisp, leafy chicories in autumn, to sweet butternut squash in the dark of winter, much of the inspiration about what to put on the menu comes from the high quality produce Waters and her chefs seek out year-round.Using the treasures from the earth, Chez Panisse Vegetables offers endless possibilities for any occasion. Try Grilled Radicchio Risotto with Balsamic Vinegar at your next dinner party, or Pizza with Red and Yellow Peppers for a summer evening at home. Why not forgo green-leaf lettuce, and opt for Artichoke and Grapefruit Salad drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil? Or serve Corn Cakes with fresh berries for breakfast instead of cereal?Throughout Vegetables, Waters shares her energy and enthusiasm for what she describes as "living foods." When she first began in the restaurant business, the selection of good-quality vegetables was so limited that she found herself searching out farmers with whom she might do business. Luckily, today's explosion of markets and organic farms across the country ensures that any home cook can find freshly harvested produce to put on the table. And with the increased popularity of home gardening, more and more people are taking their vegetables straight from the earth and into the kitchen.Cooks, gardeners, vegetarians and everyone who appreciates good food will find Chez Panisse Vegetables to be not only a cookbook, but a valuable resource for selecting and serving fine produce. From popular vegetables like corn, tomatoes and carrots, to more unusual selections like chard, amaranth greens and sorrel, Vegetables offers detailed information about the seasonal availability, proper look, flavor and preparation of each selection. Arranged alphabetically by vegetable, and filled with colorful linocut images, Chez Panisse Vegetables makes it easy for a cook to find a tempting recipe for whatever he or she has brought home from the market.
