"Research has proven that people from Mediterranean (like Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Morocco, Turkey, Algeria) and Asian (like Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Korea) cultures share good health and long life expectancy. Although there’s no ‘uniform’ Mediterranean or Asian diet, there are many similarities: consumption of abundant amounts of grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes and nuts, and fish; consumption of only small amounts of red meat; and moderate consumption of alcohol. This site shows you how to incorporate these dietary practices into your life with Italian, Spanish, Thai, Provencal, Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese and Greek recipes — from pasta and pizzas, stir-fries and curries, to rice and noodle dishes, salads, spreads, soups, appetizers and desserts. There’s also an easy-to-follow ‘7-Day Plan’, a ‘Recipe Makeovers’ section that shows you how to convert unhealthy foods (burgers, fries) into healthier versions, an ‘In the News’ channel where you can read up on the latest research on food, and get answers on ‘Mediterrasian’ cooking. The ‘how-to’ section with large pictures helps you get your dishes looking just so: wow your friends with perfectly cut broccoli florets next time they come to dinner."
