This is a super interesting read and gorgeous cookbook in one, with amazing photography. It's pretty rare that I count cookbooks as a book "read" because I don't tend to read them. I tend to pick out what recipes sound good and that's that. But I read this book from cover to cover and thoroughly enjoyed it. I try to eat salt, oil and sugar free, so would have to modify a good number of these recipes but I think most of the ones I want to try would still be delicious.

People who love beautiful photography, learning about longevity, healthy recipes, the Mediterranean diet, learning about different cultures, and/or National Geographic style writing and photography combined in an informative cookbook.

Everything! I loved this so much that, even though I originally borrowed a copy from the library, I bought the hardcover edition for my own personal enjoyment.

Travel to all the places featured here and meet the people described and cook and eat with them.

Highly interested and intrigued. Drawn into the stories and ideas.

From Amazon: "DAN BUETTNER is the founder of Blue Zones, an organization that helps Americans live longer, healthier lives. His groundbreaking work on longevity led to his 2005 National Geographic cover story "Secrets of Living Longer" and a second, "The Search for Happiness," in 2017. Buettner has authored three national bestsellers: The Blue Zones, Thrive, and The Blue Zones Solution. He is also the author of The Blue Zones of Happiness (2017) and is a National Geographic Explorer."

I loved it.

The Amazon page for this book includes two of the recipes.
