If you haven’t purchased “The Blue Zones Kitchen: 100 Recipes to Live to 100” by Dan Buettner by now, I’ll wait while you pick up a copy.
What a great read, and the recipes aren’t bad either. They come from people who live around the world places where the lifespan exceeds most of our expectations. The author visited kitchens from Ikaria to Okinawa, and documents the recipes and traditions he learned from the people he talked to along the way. Since I truly would prefer if I could live forever, I’ve begun using some of the recipes, and I’m trying to abide by at least one habit I read about. My interpretation is that it’s better if you don’t eat a heavy meal past 2:30 pm. Every once in a while I actually pull this one off.
