Embrace the almost vegan ethos of the Greeks with flavourful ingredients like herbs, olive oil, and nuts, creating meals that are as nourishing as they are delicious. Indulge in tantalizing meze such as smoked eggplant with tahini and walnuts, or savour hearty mains like white bean stew with eggplant. With 'The Ikaria Way,' bring the healthy-eating wisdom of an ancient island into your home, joining Diane's repertoire of beloved cookbooks for those seeking vibrant, flavourful cuisine with a focus on wellness
As Diane says, Greeks are almost vegan, but they'd never call themselves that. The array of plant-based dishes in the Greek diet is unsurpassed anywhere else in the Mediterranean. Diane's pantry, and the one she suggests for readers, is culled from the traditions of the Mediterranean and is full of ingredients that have long given food its flavor: herbs, olive oil, nuts, and more. The recipes in The Ikaria Way are simple, almost entirely plant-based, prepared with real food and almost nothing processed, save for the occasional can of tomatoes. Readers will love meze like smoked eggplant with tahini and walnuts or baked chickpeas and pumpkin patties. There are wonderful salads combining strawberries and asparagus and robust mains like white bean stew with eggplant.
The Ikaria Way brings the healthy-eating recipes of an ancient island to readers everywhere. It is destined to take its place alongside Diane's other books on the shelves of all good home cooks who want healthy eating and robust, delicious flavours on the same plate.
