Most people know that a Mediterranean-style diet is "good for them," but many lack the information that determines the diet's success. The Mediterranean Heart Diet does what most doctors who recommend the diet don't: spells out which foods are "out" and which are "in," and why.Doctors recommend a Mediterranean eating style to thousands who are diagnosed each year with heart disease because it is "heart-healthy"-it promotes lower saturated-fat consumption, and helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels. It is an all-purpose style of eating that also benefits those at risk of developing certain cancers and those with a diabetic condition, because it is high in antioxidant-rich foods and whole grains. The Mediterranean Heart Diet not only provides a full range of satisfying recipes but also covers the science behind the diet's health benefits. Readers learn to create their own healthful eating plans and establish new habits.More than 140 delicious recipes are included, from satisfying Lentil and Broccoli Soup to tangy Halibut in Citrus Sauce. All recipes feature nutritional analysis by serving, including food exchanges.

Helen V. Fisher has written several cookbooks and recently has worked with doctors and dietitians to create health books with recipe components. Cynthia Thomson, Ph.D., R.D., is a clinical nutrition research specialist at the Arizona Cancer Center at the University of Arizona. Both authors live in Tuscon, Arizona.
The Mediterranean diet is certainly one of the better nutritional gimmicks embraced by the American public. Fisher explains the medical rationale behind this popular diet and provides details on the diet and exercise combination, which has been proven to be healthier than the American way of life. Mediterranean fare is highlighted through the use of a modified food pyramid that emphasizes breads, pasta, rice, and whole-grain foods. Phytochemicals, the foods in which they are contained, and their potential benefits are discussed. Over 140 recipes, including appetizers, soups, salads, grains, seafood, meats, vegetable, breads, and desserts, are simple and appealing. A good, basic book for those collections needing information on the subject. Janet M. Schneider, James A. Haley Veterans' Hosp. Lib., Tampa, FL
