"e;Mediterranean dining came naturally to the authors. Nigro's family was Italian-American, so it was in his blood. And Ewald's family grew up on a farm, so their focus on fresh, un-processed, plant-based foods was already a way of life. I like that this is more a lifestyle than a diet. It doesn't endorse CrossFit and protein shakes. It is instead a life that embraces enjoyment. Pleasure is to be found in nature, health in eating naturally."e; Ellen Clifford, writer for HelloGiggles (the positive online community founded by Zooey Deschanel, Molly McAleer, and Sophia Rossi)
