The healthful virtues of olive oil, a key component of the Mediterranean diet, have become well-known in recent years; its monounsaturated fats and antioxidants are beneficial in preventing heart disease by controlling LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels while simultaneously raising HDL ("good") cholesterol levels. Helen Koutalianos has preached the gospel of olive oil and its benefits for years; at the same time, consumers across North America have become more sophisticated and appreciative of flavorful, boutique olive oils that are not mass produced. In this charming, intimate cookbook, Helen and her daughter Anastasia have collected 150 delectable, Mediterranean-inspired recipes (Greek and beyond), many of which have been passed along from Helen's mother and grandmother, in which olive oil is a central ingredient; these include Olive Oil Poached Lamb, Quail with Olives, Turkish Kebab with Garlic, Shrimp and Feta Casserole, Octopus in Wine Sauce, Seared Scallop and Prawn Gazpacho, Artichokes with Lemon, and Kolokethakia Yemista (Stuffed Zucchinis with Lemon Egg Sauce). The book also takes readers through the artisan olive oil-making process, from cultivating and processing the fruit to the production of the oil itself. Complemented with full-color photographs of recipes, "From the Olive Grove" will seduce and inspire readers to create their own delicious, heart-healthy meals at home.

The Keto Cure 1 is one of Belgium's best-selling cookbooks. Pascale Naessens believes that this book owes its success to the fact that keto really does work. Most people following a keto diet lose weight - without going hungry - while still eating delicious food. The Keto Cure 2 takes this theme further: why do you lose weight? How does it work? What role do fats play, and how much fat are we allowed to eat? Topics such as saturated fats, cholesterol, intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating are also discussed in depth by experts. In the second part of the book, you can put the theory into practice. You will find a complete 14-day meal plan plus additional recipes: a total of 75 delicious recipes prepared with natural wholefood ingredients and plenty of vegetables. And you can still enjoy these tasty low-carb recipes even if you're not following a keto diet.
