From Library Journal
The title of Prevention magazine's new collection is not altogether accurate. Although the introduction focuses on the "health secrets" of the Mediterranean diet, and there are recipes from Italian, Provencal, and other such cuisines, many dishes--Turkey-Apple Canapes, Tofu Cutlets, Sweet Potato Waffles, Lemon Icebox Pie--seem to have little to do with the region. Martha Rose Shulman's popular Mediterranean Light ( LJ 4/15/89) offers lighter versions of authentic Mediterranean dishes; Prevention 's book is a serviceable collection of simple low-fat recipes that will appeal to readers of the magazine and other busy health-conscious cooks. Casale's book, on the other hand, bears out the healthful promises of this regional cusine. Her low-fat, low-cholesterol, and low-sodium Italian dishes include both traditional favorites and more modern creations; yet many have, in fact, required very little "updating," or modifying, to make them fit her criteria. Casale, a food writer and cooking teacher, is also the author of Italian Family Cooking ( LJ 11/15/84) and The Long Life Cookbook ( LJ 2/15/88), one of the better low-cholesterol cookbooks. Her "lean Italian" recipes have proved extremely popular in her cooking classes and deservedly so. Recommended for most collections.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Prevention's Quick and Healthy Low-Fat Cooking: Featuring Cuisines from the Mediterranean (Paperback)
I needed to start eating healthier and since I know I like Greek and Italian cuisine, I thought the Mediterranean diet might be the way to go. This book explains this healthful way of eating and cooking. The emphasis is on fruits, vegetables, grains, pasta, fish, seafood and poultry. If you're looking for red meat recipes, this is not the book for you. Most of the recipes can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. Complete nutritional information is provided for each recipe. I don't believe any of the recipes included any salt so, this would be a boon for those of us who are supposed to cut down on salt. There are a number of terrific muffin, bread, and pancake recipes. The soups, salads, fish, seafood, poultry, and especially the veggie recipes provide a wide variety of choices. My one gripe is that there are very few dessert recipes and the few that they've included, with the exception of the pumpkin pie, were not very appealing to me. The pumpkin pie recipe uses a crust made with gingersnaps and graham cracker crumbs which is quite good and makes it much lower in fat and cholesterol.
