3 Cookbooks You’ll Want to Check Out (Premium)
Our Latitudes audience deals with food intolerances, allergies, health trends, and personal choices–making it impossible to find a cookbook that will meet everyone’s needs. But I believe most of us are pretty savvy at picking our way through a good cookbook, choosing what we want, and skipping the ones we know won’t work for us, even with adaptations.
Years ago I decided that it was worth the cost of the book if I find a few faithful recipes I turn to again and again. I believe that for me, these three books fall into that category. I’ve highlighted a proven oldie cookbook (gluten-free), a comprehensive recent one (on the Mediterranean diet) and a hot-off-the press cookbook to improve gut health that I’ve just now ordered.
Maybe one or more of these will feature recipes that are just what you or your family needs–or what they could simply enjoy.

The Complete Mediterranean Diet
The benefits of a Mediterranean diet have been touted for decades, but it can be hard to know where to find tested recipes. It’s important that a cookbook have enough choices that you can skip ones that don’t meet your dietary restrictions or preferences. This book puts an emphasis on “vegetables and fruits, beans and lentils, whole grains, more seafood than meat and poultry, and heart-healthy olive oil.”
The publishers say: Bring the Mediterranean–from Italy and Greece, to Morocco and Egypt, to Turkey and Lebanon–into your kitchen with more than 500 fresh, flavorful recipes.
This comprehensive cookbook translates the famously healthy Mediterranean diet for home cooks with a wide range of creative recipes, many fast enough to be made on a weeknight, using ingredients available at your local supermarket. The structure of the book follows the guidelines of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid. You’ll find large chapters devoted to Beans and to Vegetables, the Seafood Chapter is larger than Poultry and Meat, and the Fruits and Sweets chapter, while shorter, is packed with recipes you can truly feel good eating.
