The island is known worldwide for its incredibly high life expectancies and low rates of chronic disease, much of which can be attributed to diet. Born to Greek parents, author Meni Valle has always been fascinated by her family's traditions of cooking and eating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Ikaria, Meni collects traditional recipes from across the island that encapsulate the best of Mediterranean food: vegetables, beans, whole grains, small amounts of meat and fish, a couple of glasses of wine, and plenty of olive oil. But she also tells the stories that make up Ikaria, where life is all about taking time: time to cook, to eat, to nap, to spend with family and friends, to enjoy and to appreciate.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith intimate glimpses of the island's festivals, markets, kitchens and people, Ikaria is a cookbook that will transport and transform you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePages\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Pages\"\u003e208\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Publication Date\"\u003e2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Publisher\"\u003eHardie Grant Books\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"ISBN\"\u003e9781743796153\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBinding\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Binding\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Author\"\u003eMeni Valle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Diavazo Greek Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40157757309117,"sku":"ikaria","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/7574\/2397\/files\/ikaria-food-and-life-in-the-blue-zone-meni-valle-2674644.jpg?v=1765465460","url":"https:\/\/checkout.diavazo.co.uk\/products\/ikaria","provider":"Diavazo Greek Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
