Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Watson and Thelander, creators of MediterrAsian.com, combine the sensible, down-to-earth principles of the Mediterranean diet with those of south and east Asia to create a blend that is about lifestyle as much as cuisine. Their concept is appealing, but the book is more wishful than convincing in delivery. It begins by "unlocking the secrets" of the two diets, examining both regions' nutritional pyramids and citing much research to bolster claims for their superiority, but many subsequent parts emphasize exercise, of both mind and body, with overly obvious suggestions like "dance to the beat" and "go for a scenic walk" for burning calories and "get a pet" and "visit the library" for combating stress. An outline of two weeks on the diet demonstrates Watson and Thelander's "MediterrAsian" balanced meals, heavy on grains and vegetables and sparing with meat and fats. This philosophy lends itself to one-dish meals, which many of the recipes are, from Lemony Tuna, Olive and Vegetable Pasta to Fragrant Chicken Curry. Unfortunately, few rise above their appearance of being stylistic approximations of such dishes as Grilled "Tuscan" Chicken or the inevitable "Greek" salad; the fused cuisine feels both more familiar and homogenous and less lively and life-changing in the way a new diet must be to achieve great results.

    I Also Recommend:

    Easy to read. Easy to use.

    We have been exploring the "Mediterranean" way of preparing and eating foods. Simple. Fresh. However, we have long been fans of Asian cuisine. I was able to see this book at the store before the purchase and realized that, for me, it appeared to fuse the two cultures in a way I thought that we would enjoy. Haven't been disappointed!

    Recently we have been purchasing cookbooks with some narrative. We enjoy understanding the concepts and the logic behind some of the choices, and information about the cultures that influence the foods. For real "cookbook" fanatics, there are few pictures; but, the recipes are easy. When I need pictures or have a complicated recipe, I usually head for the internet for pictures and more detailed instructions.

    With books such as this it is easier to stay true to eating healthy as a way of life.

    Fabulous for those looking to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

    The main thing I love about this book is that it offers variations. The Moroccan Stew sounded interesting to me, until I read that you use cabbage (not a favorite of mine). But the recommended variations suggested substituting spinach for the cabbage, and that works for me. I appreciate that this book encourages experimenting with different versions; and that leads you to finding your own new favorite dish.
