一本美味的菜谱集，灵感来源于整个地中海地区的村庄和农村社区喜爱的简单菜肴。

大厨Theo Michaels探索了 "像村民一样吃饭 "这个概念，这本新的菜谱来自于他与家人关于60年前塞浦路斯生活的对话，当时种植农产品和饲养一些动物是常态。他通过自己烹饪的美味而简单的食物，颂扬了基于这些原则的饮食方式。这是一种现代的、用心的、轻松的饮食方式，不需要遵守规定的饮食习惯——没有严格的制度，只吃合理的分量，不吃加工过的食物和一些美食——简单、节俭和诚实的饮食方式。在实践中，它意味着用当季的食物来烹饪，摄入分量适当的蔬菜、水果、谷物和豆类；适量地吃鱼和海鲜，并减少肉类消费。

A collection of delicious recipes inspired by the simple dishes enjoyed in villages and rural communities throughout the Mediterranean.

The Mediterranean diet has long been famed for the proven lifetime benefits of eating simply prepared, seasonal foods. There are pockets of people in the Mediterranean countries (and further afield) who are living longer than most; these communities are most often found in rural villages where they grow their own produce and keep livestock. Chef Theo Michaels explores this concept of 'eating like a villager' and this new collection of recipes was born from conversations he has had with his family about life in Cyprus 60 years ago, when growing produce and keeping a few animals was the norm. He celebrates a way of eating based on these principles through his delicious yet simple food. It's a modern, mindful and relaxed way to eat well with no need to adhere to a prescribed diet – no strict regimes, just sensible portion sizes, no processed foods and a few treats – simple, frugal and honest eating. In practice, it means cooking with what is in season, enjoying a good intake of vegetables, fruit, grains and pulses; eating fish and seafood in moderation and reducing meat consumption. Enjoy his sunshine-filled recipes for Strapatsada (Greek scrambled eggs laced with feta, tomatoes and fresh herbs); Tossed Pasta with Pangritata; Pickled Black Radish Ceviche; Oven-roasted Ratatouille with Caramelized Cheese, and so much more.
