I had always been fascinated by the Mediterranean way of eating and its potential health benefits, but it wasn't until a personal health scare that I truly committed to diving deep into the research and experimentation. After being diagnosed with high blood pressure and cholesterol, my doctor recommended making significant changes to my diet. I knew that the Mediterranean diet was a great option, but I wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly and getting the most out of it.

I began researching and experimenting with different recipes, and I was amazed by the delicious and satisfying meals I was able to create. But more importantly, I saw real results in my health. My blood pressure and cholesterol levels dropped, and I felt more energized and mentally clear than ever before.

But it wasn't just my own health that inspired me to write this book. I also became increasingly interested in the environmental and ethical implications of our food choices. The Mediterranean diet is not just good for our bodies, it's also good for the planet. I wanted to share this information with as many people as possible, so I decided to write "The New Mediterranean Way of Eating".

I poured my heart and soul into this book, testing recipes, interviewing experts, and researching the latest scientific studies. I wanted to create a comprehensive guide that would make it easy for anyone to follow the Mediterranean diet and experience its many benefits.

Writing this book was an emotional and exciting journey for me, as I discovered the power of food to transform not only my health but also my entire way of life. My goal is to share this transformative power with others, and I hope this book will inspire you to take control of your health and make choices that are good for both your body and the planet.
