Purchase options and add-ons

Written by a diverse team of Midwesterners, this little book is an exploration of the Mediterranean diet - its associated history, agriculture, biology, philosophy, botany, ingredients, and lifestyle - and how this diet can be adapted and celebrated in the American Heartland.

It’s a book for people who share a zeal for healthy food, healthy minds, and healthy hearts.

It’s a book for people who love cooking, love living, and love feeling their very best.

It’s a book for people who want to feed their bodies and their souls.

While this book does contain some incredible recipes curated from some of the most exciting chefs of the High Plains, it’s not just a “cookbook.” (Or a “health book.” Or a “diet book,” for that matter.) Rather, this book is an amazing smorgasbord of principles and particulars - a kind of eclectic community table, a table at which we can all sit, share, learn, and enjoy. In this case, the table is loaded with some truly life-changing ideas that will transform the way you eat and live.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"In this localized adaptation of the iconic Mediterranean diet, the authors identify the heartbeat of the cuisine and give it new life in the Great Plains." ~ Dan Barber, author of The Third Plate

"This book presents a concise and readable overview of the Mediterranean diet with a Midwestern flavor - providing information on how such eating promotes health of the heart, mind, and digestive system. It includes many appetizing recipes that I look forward to trying. It's a great success in translating the science of a healthy diet to everyone's kitchen and dinner table." ~ Joseph E. Marine, MD, MBA, FACC, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland

"I am delighted by this book! Midwest Mediterranean is an accessible read and a ready resource for cooking the Mediterranean way. The authors guide home cooks through building a pantry and making best use of local and regional ingredients - all with a heart-healthy emphasis on cooking with that Mediterranean staple, extra-virgin olive oil. These recipes are welcome additions to anyone's cooking style and repertoire." ~ Roberta Klugman, Klugman & Associates

". . . a concise and easy-to-read overview of the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. The valuable information contained in this book will contribute to optimal health and longevity." ~ Michael Ozner, MD, FACC, FAHA, author of Heart Attacks Are Not Worth Dying For and The Complete Mediterranean Diet

"Midwest Mediterranean is far more than a cookbook. It's essential reading for those interested in plant-based meals with contributing essays by an internist, cardiologist, dietitian, archaeologist, psychotherapist, and farmer committed to creating a robust local food system. With globally inspired recipes, Midwest Mediterranean celebrates the bounty of the Northern Heartland." ~ Beth Dooley, James Beard Award winner and author of twelve cookbooks, including, The Perennial Kitchen: Simple Recipes for a Healthy Future

    Simple strategies, easy read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Well-Rounded Guide to Adapting Mediterranean Cuisine
    Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    One of my FAVORITE parts about Greek culture is their food. It's the best food I've ever eaten in my life. But more than that, it has a rich history that's connected with the Greek way of life in ways us Americans might have a hard time understanding.

    This book, a project by some of my best friends over at Theran Press, lays out how to adapt the Mediterranean food culture to the Midwest. And if that doesn't seem interesting to you? It's got some incredibly good recipes, including a proper Greek salad recipe that rightfully never comes into contact with lettuce.

    It would be insanely cool if you picked up a copy of this book. Everyone who put work into knows their shit, and what they've created is a practical guide to adapting some of the best food in the world to the Midwest. Who could say no to that?

    I appreciate the multiple perspectives that are brought into the narrative portion of the book. It marries the art and science of the Midwest Mediterranean concept. The recipes are easy to follow and have fabulous flavors. It's quickly becoming a go-to all year round, though I especially love using veggies and herbs from my own garden!
