Clinical nutritionist and author Sarah Di Lorenzo is set to celebrate her Hellenic heritage with her latest cookbook containing over 200 recipes and family stories titled ‘My Mediterranean Life: Recipes and Stories’.
The book, set to be published on 30 October, delves deep into Di Lorenzo’s Greek background, which comes from her father’s side, sharing stories of her upbringing and the recipes of her family.
It features a variety of dishes such as soups, seafood, meat, antipasto spreads, salads, breads, rice dishes and more, providing a contemporary adaptation of the Mediterranean diet which possesses many health benefits.
‘Growing up with a Greek/Mediterranean influence in my home was such a blessing. Without me realising, it was the start of my interest in cooking, herbs, spices and healthy eating,” Di Lorenzo said.
“In this book, I want to share not just the health benefits of the Mediterranean way of eating but the key principles and lifestyle. This way of eating is a way of life; food is much more than eating. It’s a bonding experience for family and friends.
She explained that the recipes in the book include those she inherited from her family as well as her own creations/twists on traditional dishes.
‘My Mediterranean Life’ is available to pre-order through the book’s publisher, Simon & Schuster Australia, ahead of its October release.
