Don't settle for being overweight, unhappy and unhealthy! Embrace the Mediterranean diet and create a body and life that you love! Are you tired of trying diets that just don't work?The Mediterranean diet will work for you if you work it. Why?....It works because the Mediterranean diet isn't actually a "diet." Yes, it will help you lose weight and improve your health but it's really more of a lifestyle. It is a way of eating that is based on the traditional dietary patterns of the countries that border the Mediterranean Sea such as Greece, Spain, Israel, Southern Italy and France.Some of the key elements of the Mediterranean diet include eating lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, making olive oil your primary source of monounsaturated fat and consuming fish and seafood regularly for their omega-3 benefits. This diet is also extremely low in saturated fats and high in good fats and dietary fiber. Unlike many diets that involve increasing your intake of certain vitamins and minerals, the Mediterranean diet is different in that it allows you to eat a wide variety of foods in moderation. When you eat a well-balanced diet in moderation and exercise regularly as the Mediterranean diet suggests, you will lose weight, revitalize your energy and prevent heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and certain kinds of cancer. It will also help you lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure and improve brain and eye health.

Mrs. Wilkes' Boardinghouse Cookbook: Recipes and Recollections from Her Savannah Table
Sema Wilkes - 2001
Her goal was modest: to make a living by offering comfortable lodging and southern home cooking served family style in the downstairs dining room. Mrs. Wilkes' reputation was strong and business was brisk from the beginning, but it was the coverage in Esquire and the New York Times, and even a profile on David Brinkley's evening news that brought southern food lovers from all over the world to her doorstep. Sema is now 94 years old, and four generations of Wilkes help her keep the tables laden with platters of her legendary fried chicken, pork ribs, and biscuits, while friends and strangers pass bowls brimming with her sublime butterbeans, collard greens, mashed sweet potatoes, and banana pudding. The line snakes out the front door and down the street, where along with the locals and visitors, it's not uncommon to find Jimmy Carter or Roy Junior Blount, among other familiar faces, waiting for their turn at Mrs. Wilkes' table. With over 300 recipes and culinary historian John T. Edge's colorful telling of Mrs. Wilkes' contribution to Savannah and southern cuisine, the rich volume is a tribute to a way of cooking-and eating-that must not be forgotten.

Labelle Cuisine: Recipes to Sing about
Patti LaBelle - 1999
I've spent my life developing my voice and my recipes, and to tell you the truth, I'm hard pressed to say where I'm happiest--in concert or in the kitchen, making music or making meals." For Patti, cooking is about love. Taught by the great Southern cooks in her family--her mother, father, and aunts Hattie Mae and Joshia Mae--Patti LaBelle has kept these family heirlooms close to her heart. But now, she invites you into her kitchen and serves up more than 100 of her favorite recipes, from treasured down-home favorites--Say-My-Name Smothered Chicken and Gravy, Fierce Fried Corn, and Aunt Hattie's Scrumptious Sweet Tater Bread--to good-enough-for-dinner-parties dishes--Shrimp Etouffee, Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosemary-Lemon Rub, and Aunt Mary's Philadelphia Buttercake. Wherever Patti goes, so do her electric frying pans and bottles of hot sauce. After her raise-the-roof shows, she often goes back to her hotel room and whips up a meal for her band or celebrity visitors. When she's home--at holiday time and at family gatherings--or just after one of her sold-out concert tours, Patti likes nothing more than to head for her kitchen and cook her Geechee Geechee Ya Ya Gumbo, Pass-It-On Pot Roast, or Burnin' Babyback Ribs. And like her bestselling memoir, Don't Block the Blessings, her accompanying personal reminiscences will fill your heart just as her recipes will fill your stomach. Patti LaBelle's LaBelle Cuisine has the recipes you'll want to cook, eat, and share with friends. Filled with the legendary diva's favorite dishes and step-by-step instructions on how to prepare them, LaBelle Cuisine makes you feel like Patti's in the kitchen with you, demonstrating the recipes and techniques that can turn anybody into a fabulous cook.
