"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." —Ellen Clifford, writer for HelloGiggles (the positive online community founded by Zooey Deschanel, Molly McAleer, and Sophia Rossi)
