Are the recipes suitable for the Mediterranean Diet?
Many of the recipes, but not all, are suitable for people who follow the Mediterranean Diet.
Other recipes can be adjusted to fit this healthy diet by simply replacing an ingredient (for example replacing regular pasta with whole wheat pasta, or all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour).
For more information, read this post about the Mediterranean Diet (with a food list).
