The word "diet" smacks of deprivation. Mediterranean chef extraordinaire Nancy Harmon Jenkins' advice? Limit red meat, sugar, and dairy products, and increase use of olive oil, vegetables and legumes, breads, and fruits. Her long residence in Tuscany, plus her food writing background, results in unusual recipes among the more than 200 featured; in addition to such familiar staples as fish, soups, and minestrone, she includes treats from all over the Mediterranean, including Spanish chicken with sweet peppers. Sidebars and personal introductions to many of the recipes, along with nutritional data, supply encouragement for healthy living, not just dieting.
