The Mediterranean diet is one of the most healthy and delicious ways of eating on the planet. But how can we best practice these dietary principles thousands of miles away from the Mediterranean, here in the Midwest?
​
Midwest Mediterranean!
​
​
Midwest Mediterranean blends the research, knowledge, and ingredients of the Mediterranean diet with a focus on our local place in the world -- the High Plains. With insights from Dr. David Clardy, attending cardiologist at Sanford Heart and Vascular Center, and Megan Myrdal, co-founder of Food of the North, Dr. Fadel Nammour, physician and owner of Dakota Gastroenterology Clinic, Dr. Peter Schultz, archaeologist and conservationist, William Schultz, mental health practitioner and private practice owner, and Noreen Thomas, farmer and owner of Doubting Thomas Farm, this book explains how and why the Midwest Mediterranean can be a great part of your diet -- and your life!
This book dips into history, agriculture, biology, philosophy, botany, ingredients, lifestyle, and more. It's also packed with a collection of amazing Midwest Mediterranean recipes created by even more community collaborators: chefs and home cooks from across the Midwest and the Mediterranean who are truly passionate about this diet and this way of life.
Readers will find amazing smorgasbord of principles and particulars – a kind of eclectic community table that we’ve all helped create for each other, a table at which we can all sit, share, learn, and enjoy.
