Mediterranean cooking is one of the most flavorful, fresh, and varied cuisines in the culinary canon—not to mention one of the most healthful styles of eating in existence. Numerous studies have demonstrated this oil-abundant diet’s power to reduce your risk for heart disease, and there’s evidence linking it with the potential to prevent diabetes and cancer as well. And it just so happens that it’s also simple to prepare and a pleasure to eat. Across 16 informative, inspirational lessons, The Everyday Gourmet: The Joy of Mediterranean Cooking reveals how you can revitalize your culinary repertoire and take full advantage of the benefits of a Mediterranean diet by creating iconic regional dishes right in your own kitchen. Presented by Bill Briwa, a renowned chef-instructor at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, this course is filled with detailed demonstrations of the techniques, ingredients, and signature dishes that make Mediterranean cuisine so delectable to the palate and beneficial for your well-being. Dish after satisfying dish, you’ll see that this healthful approach is far from a “diet” in the restrictive or temporary sense. Rather, it’s truly a way of life—and a wonderfully robust, vibrant one at that. Whether you’re searching for culinary inspiration or a more heart-healthy way of life, look no further. From the very first lesson, you’ll be ready to start experimenting in the kitchen—and fully convinced that healthy food can be delicious food.

Educational and Fun!
This is a wonderful cooking course. It comes with the DVD’s and cookbook. Bill Briwa is an excellent teacher. He incorporates history and fun stories into the cooking lessons. I have learned a lot of new techniques and some healthy new recipes. I had some problems with the DVD’s playing properly and contacted the company. They sent me a replacement set that they reviewed before sending. I will definitely order more of these Great Courses!

No Hesitation Recommending
I bought this DVD with guidebook through The Great Courses and have just finished watching this 3-disc series on Mediterranean cooking. The instructor takes you to many countries circling the Mediterranean Sea with several dishes comprising an entire meal or two from each country. He explains why the various regions developed their tastes and cooking methods. I thought all recipes are within reason for an average home cook. A few had an ingredient I would not normally purchase, but he offered alternatives in most cases. I learned a lot and am enthusiastically looking forward to using the recipes. Also picked up some useful kitchen tips.
