Any Mediterranean Diet books?

At our local support group, the subject of diet came up. I know that I personally should do a bit more in this area.

It was pointed out that the most powerful anti-cancer food are rich in anti-oxidents.

They recommended eating foods with strong colors, such a blueberries, spinach, etc.

Also, the Mediterranean Diet was mentioned to be of excellent benefit in general and for us PC sufferers.

Any comments on this, and also any particular book recommendation (especially a Mediterranean Diet book)?

There is a "Mediterranean Food Pyramid" that gives general guidelines of what to eat. See, for example, www.safe-and-easy-weightloss.com/MedDietPyramid.htm

"Moosewood Cookbook" is one of the classics of "health food" cuisine. A lot of the lifestyle-intervention type docs also have books out on diet, like Drs. Roizen and Oz, "YOU: On a Diet", Dr. Ornish, "The Spectrum", etc. Dr. Weil also has various books with recipes, but I don't recall the titles right now. He also has an "Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid", that can probably be found with google or other search.

about.com/food/ and allrecipes.com are also good online sources for healthy recipes.

Vicki,
I'm on my way!
