The Mediterranean diet is known the world over for its health benefits, but that doesn’t mean it’s boring - in fact it’s both nutritious and delicious. The temperate climate yields tasty fresh produce, such as sun-ripened tomatoes, juicy olives, sweet peppers, eat-me-now grapes (and drink-me-now wines!). Not to mention the freshest seafood dishes. On your Med travels follow your nose and savour such delights as authentic Valencian paella; on the French Riviera a light and satisfying salade niçoise can hit the spot; and in Italy perhaps you’ll try the Campanian coastal favourite, spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams). The food of the Med is oh-so moreish.
