Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781743796153.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA collection of recipes and stories from the Mediterranean island of longevity.\n\nIn the northern Aegean Sea lies the Greek island of Ikaria, where blue Mediterranean waters lap against a mountainous coastline and rocky trails lead to quaint villages, and where the locals seem to hold a secret.\n\nIkaria is known worldwide for its incredibly high life expectancies and low rates of chronic disease, much of which can be attributed to diet. Born to Greek parents, Meni Valle has always been fascinated by her familys traditions of cooking and eating. In Ikaria, Meni collects traditional recipes from across the island that encapsulate the best of Mediterranean food: vegetables, beans, whole grains, small amounts of meat and fish, a couple of glasses of wine, and plenty of olive oil. But she also tells the stories that make up Ikaria, where life is all about taking time: time to cook, to eat, to nap, to spend with family and friends, to enjoy and to appreciate.\n\nWith intimate glimpses of the islands festivals, markets, kitchens and people, Ikaria is a cookbook that will transport and transform you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hardie Grant Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945715953717,"sku":"ByrdShop_1743796153","price":69.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781743796153_f1ad187b-3271-494c-9d8d-5c2f279bbeec.jpg?v=1778812206","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ikaria-food-and-life-in-the-blue-zone-9781743796153","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
