Why only 3 stars? The education in the front of the book is perfection. So much great info and reasons to eat Mediterranean. I loved that part!!
But the recipes are lacking. In the mountains of Tn, these recipes won’t fly. I can’t easily get duck or sole to cook for my kids. 🤪Give me a way to better implement the information knowing that most people don’t
Have access to these types of foods. 🫶🏻❤️

Pretty good, but he starts getting into a little too much woo for me. He was really edging into the raw milk territory, pulled it back just in time. Had some great recipes.
