Healthy food doesn't have to be boring and bland.
Look to the Mediterranean for innovative, fresh, and nutritious ideas. In
Against the Grain, award-winning cookbook author Diane Kochilas offers up a
collection of satisfying, good-for-you recipes inspired by the exotic dishes of
the Mediterranean.
Whether you're trying to lose weight or simply
improve you're eating habits, sticking to a good carb diet is a great idea. The
Mediterranean diet isn't all breads, grains, and pasta it includes plenty of
fish, chicken, lamb, vegetables, and fruits. Against the Grain includes recipes
for everything from light bites, such as tapas, soups, and salads, to hearty
entrees and sides. The ingredient lists are supermarket-friendly and prep time
is minimal, so busy home cooks can whip up healthy meals in minutes, every
night of the week.
In addition to classics like Fresh Tomato Soup with
Moroccan Spices, Chicken Cacciatore, and Pan-Seared Shrimp with Romesco Sauce,
there are innovative, exotic new dishes like Grilled Skewered Lamb with Mint
and Garlic Pesto, Pork Medallions Marinated with Olives and Orange, and Roasted
Red Pepper and Feta Souffle.
One of the basic principles of the Mediterranean lifestyle
is that everything should be enjoyed in moderation. In Against the Grain, no
foods are forbidden or totally off limits. Instead, you'll find formerly
"sinful" ingredients like rich cheeses, potatoes, rice, fragrant nuts
and oils, and wine incorporated into savory meals. Yes, the recipes are healthy
and nutritious, but, more important, the dishes in Against the Grain are
hearty, satisfying, and flavorful.
