Mediterranean Cooking

A visual delight, exquisitely delicious, and good for you—it's no wonder that Mediterranean cuisine is so popular. In fact, Mediterranean fare is healthful enough to have inspired a wealth of scientific research. Mediterranean cuisine is built around fresh, wholesome fruits, vegetables, whole grains and breads, legumes, seafood, nuts and seeds and olive oil. Because we're talking about an area that spans the Mediterranean Sea -- including Greece, Spain, Southern Italy and Turkey -- there are a wide variety of dishes, influenced by everything from European pastas and wines to Middle Eastern yogurts and flatbreads.
