Subtitle: 125 Simple, Everyday Recipes Made with the Most Delicious and Healthiest Food on Earth
Physician and home chef Dr. Angelo Acquista brings his medical expertise and Sicilian roots to this comprehensive Mediterranean cookbook. The Mediterranean Family Table contains over 125 easy, healthy, and delicious recipes for all ages. It all started when Acquista realized that writing a few recipes down on his prescription pad led to his patients eating healthier-and enjoying it. In The Mediterranean Family Table, he outlines the twelve guiding principles of the Mediterranean diet and teaches readers to feed their loved ones the Mediterranean way, by preparing simple, healthy meals.
From purees that will tempt the tastebuds of bambinos while serving as easy sides for the rest of the family, to recipes tailored to meet the special nutritional needs of kids and seniors (with icons to make them easy to spot); this is a carefully curated collection of recipes that Acquista selected based on his own experiences growing up in Sicily and cooking for his family today.
The book also includes material and sidebars on how to make healthier eating choices (substitution charts; teaching kids good habits), stocking the fridge and pantry, and buying/storing/cooking ingredients key to the Mediterranean diet. Woven throughout are stories from Acquista's family's history going back generations growing up on the Mediterranean Sea, as well as how he has learned to incorporate this way of life into a busy, land-locked, modern family. Buon appetito!
