Mediterranean Inspired

A Note From Emilie Raffa

Mediterranean food has evolved to be shared by a diverse population including Southern Europe, Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa. Inspired by the sea and surrounding sun-drenched regions, Mediterranean cuisine uses fresh and flavorful ingredients. It emphasizes herbs, vegetables and fruits, but also includes lean protein like seafood, chicken and legumes. You'll also find unprocessed grains and healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil to promote a balanced diet.

Join me as we explore these delicious dishes inspired by the beautiful Mediterranean.
