Boost Your Brain with a Local Author's New Cookbook: The Smart Mediterranean Diet

BOOST YOUR BRAIN HEALTH AND MOOD with The Smart Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, co-authored by local registered dietitian Deanna Segrave-Daly. “I love showcasing the ingredients and dishes from the 20-plus countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea through recipes that are accessible, do-able, affordable, and most of all have been vetted and tested to work in home kitchens," says Segrave-Daly.

The book takes a flexible approach to ways of eating. Many of the recipes are or can be made gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, or vegan. Along the way, you’ll pick up practical kitchen tips and a quick guide to overall healthy eating. Whether you want to improve your memory, balance your mood, or simply enjoy nutritious meals, this cookbook is filled with tools and inspiration. Try the Mediterranean Sun Gold Granola recipe. “It features seeds, which boost brain health, and ginger, which has potential ties to improving memory,” says Segrave-Daly.
