With Paula Wolfert's Promise that "Every Dish Here is delicious, fun to make, and will make you feel good", Mediterranean Grains & Greens offers a dazzling variety of meals that are high in fiber, full of deep green vegetables, rich in antioxidants -- and tantalizingly tasty. Using such grains as rice and bulgur as an alternative to pasta, these recipes dramatically increase the nutritional value of your meals; and along with the addition of greens -- and the use of meat more as a "condiment" than a main dish -- they offer a prescription for health that's right in step with today's medical guidelines.

From appetizers to salads (Red Lentil Fingers, Cauliflower and Black Olives), breads and pizzas (French Walnut Bread, Focaccia with Gorgonzola), soups and sides (Spinach Bouillabaisse, Moorish Eggplant), entrees and fish (Green Wheat and Baby Chicken, Bluefish with Peas), and extraordinary desserts (Couscous with Vanilla Pudding, Polenta Lemon Tarts), there is something here to please every palate -- and comply with a healthful diet.
