The Lost Recipe Secret Dishes of Mediterranean Diet

This book was born with the intent of preserving part of the traditional recipes belonging to the Mediterranean diet, linked to Southern Italy: an undoubtedly popular cuisine, a nutritional model that has demonstrated to the world its beneficial effects on health and longevity. Particularly, we will focus on the geographical area of Cilento, near the border between Campania and Basilicata regions: a fairy and unspoilt landscape characterized by small villages lurking in the hills, often surrounded by forests, secular trees, mountains, streams and rivers... This is Lucania, the ancient land of Lucani. The origins of the name remain mysterious today: according to some historical studies, it seems that the meaning can be derived from the combination of Latin words Lucus ( Holy Woods ) and Lux ( Light ). The Lost Recipes are now finally rediscovered and made available to everyone in this book, with the hope that you too can become Guardians of Tradition over time.
