Product Description
Indulge yourself with tasty and satisfying foods like pasta dishes, stir-fries, curries, risottos, noodle dishes, and sushi, all washed down with a glass of wine or beer. Stay active but don't bother with a formal exercise regimen, and set aside time every day to relax and unwind. You may find it hard to believe, but eating and living this way can help you stay lean and healthy, substantially reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer, and increase your chances of living longer. People from Mediterranean and Asian cultures have been living like this-and reaping the rewards-for more than 5,000 years. Now, in this unique cookbook and guide, Ric Watson and his wife, Trudy Thelander, demonstrate just how easy it is to realize the benefits of the MediterrAsian way-benefits that numerous scientific studies have documented over the last half century. They explain the common features of Mediterranean and Asian lifestyles-abundant amounts of plant foods and fish, small amounts of red meat, moderate alcohol consumption, physical activity, and time set aside to relax-and show you step by step how to make them part of your life. When you eat the MediterrAsian way, there's no skimping on taste-or satisfaction. You'll feast on more than 150 delicious recipes, including favorites like Pasta Primavera, Thai Chicken Stir-Fry, and Ham, Mushroom, and Tomato Pizza. You'll savor the intriguing flavors of Vietnamese Shrimp and Vegetable Rice Paper Rolls, Moroccan Stew with Couscous, and Teriyaki Chicken Noodles. And if you're in the mood for a burger or hot dog, Watson and Thelander offer several deliciously healthy versions. The book walks you through MediterrAsian food basics, shows you how to substitute daily activities for time at the gym, and explains how to take time out to enjoy life and relax. To help you plan your meals, it provides an easy-to-follow five-step MediterrAsian Balanced Meal System. There's even a fourteen-day MediterrAsian plan as well as example lifestyle scenarios to help you get into the swing of things. Complete with 50 tempting color food photographs, The MediterrAsian Way is all you need to enjoy the benefits of MediterrAsian living-starting today!

It's about time January 7, 2009
It's about time America change their focus from fad diets to a sustainable healthy way of eating. Following this method, people can eat plenty of foods, stay full and stay slim.
This book reveals about the benefits of good carbs, whole grains and pastas and full of great recipes, especially seafood & poultry recipes.
awesome! December 22, 2008
I've only done three recipes from the book so far, and all three have turned out fantastic and very delicious! I can't wait to try them all.
Also, I love the overall message of this book (being mindful, healthy, active and taking time to relax but still enjoying yourself).
Did I mention the recipes are rather easy too? Double score!
Every dish a hit! November 20, 2008

I don't review a lot of products but just wanted to throw my two cents in on this one. Every meal I have made from this cookbook has been a huge hit with the entire family. If you're looking for a good gift for a foodie, a cook, or someone looking to try a new plan for getting healthier, you can't go wrong with this cookbook. And get a second copy for yourself!

I bought this book because I wanted to feed my family better and reduce our risk of heart disease, etc. The recipes are EXCELLENT! I am not someone who goes in for eating pineconey "health food" but I LOVE Japanese & Vietnamese food, and my husband LOVES Italian food as well. This book is the perfect combination and IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD FOR US!!
 good but not great October 24, 2008

the recipes and eating plans are fine, even healthy. They make a point to emphasize that its more than just a diet, it is a lifestyle. But I must say that I was disappointed to find such heavy reliance on studies that have been thoroughly debunked from Ancel Keys and The China Study. There is so much better data out there to support this way of eating then from epidemiology studies where the populations were cherry picked to support the conclusions.
