    I've been following your channel along with a couple of others, and have been eating the Mediterranean way since October. I'm down 15 pounds and feel so much more energy -- thanks for your wonderful recipes and handouts! This way of eating is easy to sustain, doesn't "restrict" anything, so the guilt for those occasional treats is gone, and tastes incredible!

    Super nice comment, Dennis. Funny you should mention a "team". I don't have one! Just me, a couple of cameras and a computer with plenty of software and - on this one - I was trying to channel that younger self who could put in 12 hour days without blinking... now... not so much! I jokingly told George that someday I should add that long list of credits to the video and the printed materials but it would be a bit boring with all the same name! But it's all fun and really satisfying to be doing something that helps other people get healthy. I'm glad it's helping you. Cheers, Caroline

    HI Vanessa - I will try to take those ideas into account in future videos. I'm somewhat lactose-intolerant too so I simply avoid animal-based milks and cheeses and that seems to help but of course your son's doctor or nutritionist would be much better posed to make specific recommendations to him. Thanks for the suggestions! Cheers, Caroline

    Caroline, you've shared so many good videos with food prep ideas, how to ideas, good tips and of course, great recipes. When I watch your videos I definitely feel more motivated to eat better. What I truly appreciate with this video, besides the obvious amount of hard work and dedication that went into making this video, is... well, the simple to follow outline. Oh, and definitely the PDF, too. I plan to print the PDF and set it in my kitchen where I can see it to further help with motivate, and remind me, to eat better for my health. Sometimes it's really hard to simply get started, but I feel more confident in being able to get started with this wonderful Masterclass video. So, once again, thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos. And for the USDA link for Dietary Reference Intakes. That is very handy. Take care and best of health to you and George. 😉

    Thanks Connie for the encouraging comment. As far as that food processor goes, I guess I better stop using it (ha ha ha)! I get questions every week about it and I've never been able to find it available anywhere online. I bought it from a grocery store in Spain for about 15 euros a few years ago and love it... lots of power and glass bottom. That said, I do have a link in the description for one similar to it (although slightly less power) that might be an option! Happy hunting, Caroline

    Hi Dyanne - Sorry, I bought it at a small store in Alicante and I looked on the bottom but no branding shows up. I loved it too because the cubes are definitely bigger than most trays. Maybe you can track something down on Amazon? I think I’ve seen similar there. Good luck with it! Cheers, Caroline

    Hi Green Lady and thanks for adding your POV! Since we grow almonds on a few trees and live in the middle of a huge growing area in Spain, we’re partial to them. And for many people peanut allergies can be problematic but, of course, not for everybody and as I always say… you do you! Cheers, Caroline

    Hi Donna - To answer your question, they are a fruit… and a healthy fat!. But on a more serious note, olives are a fruit and as you know they do contain healthy monounsaturated fats that other fruits like avocados and nuts (which are actually fruits too). Cheers, Caroline

And my way to get in some anchovies is with Caesar dressing. Lemon… well, it is one of my favorites and one of my only regrets about moving to Spain is that I can’t get Meyer lemons here!

    HI Queen Bee! The salad I showed is called canonigos in Spain the closest equivalent for most people in the US is watercress but I know it is also called by other names… mache in France, lamb’s tongue or lamb’s leaf or corn salad or your version… field salad. I guess whatever you call it, it is a great green to enjoy in any salad!

    @@mediterraneanminutes Hello, I know what the salad is called in our countries. I'm from Europe - I know all the countries in Europe. I live in Germany and France. My mother in Spain and my sister in the UK. Lamb's lettuce is certainly tasty and nice in any salad, but botanically it has nothing at all in common with watercress. Watercress tastes extremely hot and has special ingredients that make it very healthy. Arugula is similar in taste. Lamb's lettuce cannot offer this, which is why it is wrong to portray the two plants as similar. I think it's important to show the viewer alternatives to watercress that are also comparable. I think it's really good when Americans find videos on KZread about how to eat well. The obesity epidemic is really bad and I think your videos are pretty good too. Don't be mad at me, but it's not Mediterranean. A lot of meat is also eaten there and significantly more than 4 teaspoons of olive oil are eaten. Me and my husband use around 50L of olive oil per year, which is almost 14 gallons. So that's 1 bottle per week. And we're both super skinny :) The most important thing is always lots of vegetables and lots of olive oil - then there's only a little space left for the Chorizo ​​and Flan. That is the secret. All the best!

    Hi Diana. You are so right about the origin of avocados although here in parts of Spain that can tout a sub-tropic climate, avocados are commerically grown in large amounts. But similar to the beloved Italian tomato, potatoes and chocolate, these ingredients were never native here but arrived during the Columbian Exchange. One point I’d like to add though is that my approach to teaching the Mediterranean diet is to show that you can follow this way of eating no matter where you live and that the diet includes any ingredients that match the basic tenets of the diet, including healthy fats like the avocado. I hope that clarifies why I include all healthy foods in the pyramid. Cheers, Caroline
