Pros: Very well organized Very well researched Very detailed Interesting Includes the Mediterranean lifestyle as important as the diet Cons: Although the author, a dietitian, says the Mediterranean ...

If you've never heard of the components of the Mediterranean way of eating and are interested in basic nutrition, you might like this reading. If you are interested in cooking, search for a cookbook.
