Apparantly the mediterranean diet is the healthiest in the world, but I cant seem to find any good recipes. I did find a cook book today but it was $80 which I don't want to spend incase my family wont eat this style of food. So I am hoping to start a thread with anyone who would like to start eating mediterranean style. Please add your recipes.

I have been on a Med regime for over seven years. Its so easy. Think pasta, tomatoes, zucchinis, olives, capers and fresh fruit. Lots of fresh veges. The Northern med that gets a winter think osso bucco and polenta, the south and coast think seafood, salads, olive oil. Great breads, cheeses and snacks such as tapenades. Go for a wander to your local Euro importer warehouse (if you have one) and just drool. One book I do suggest you may like to borrow from the library is by Claudia Roden - she produced a claasic Med cookbook that is a classic. The net is great for this.

I love that the food is so simple and un-processed. Julie55 do you have kids that eat this style? What is your favourite dish/recipe? I will have a look for that book :-)
