The Mediterranean Lifestyle

The Mediterranean Lifestyle is the only magazine focused on promoting the entire Mediterranean region and its celebrated lifestyle, an exemplary way of life that showcases an authentic, culturally rich and diverse approach to all aspects of life. Health, Happiness and Longevity are the strongest resulting benefits and therefore our main focus, besides the Mediterranean Diet, Travel, Culture and more. Every issue provides content that is both, helpful and entertaining. That's why every issue is packed with unique and interesting content written by journalists, book authors, scientists, medical professionals and authorities in their fields, but also passionate people who live this lifestyle every day. We not only want to encourage people to travel the region and learn more about it, but also to live this way of life.

MASHED SWEET POTATO WITH MINT, GRILLED ASPARAGUS, AND POMEGRANATE • This recipe really came to me as an idea for a side dish, but it can also be used as a first course. When I created it, I was looking for something different, with vegetables, risky flavors and a hint of acidity and voila, this came out. I have tried changing some of the ingredients for others, such as asparagus for bimi or mint for cilantro, but in my opinion, this is the winning option. However, I encourage you to change some of these ingredients if they are not to your liking or if you simply want to explore and look for different flavor combinations.
