Summary

Giulia Crouch always knew there was something magical about the life of her Sardinian grandparents, so she was not surprised when Sardinia's Nuoro mountain region was identified by scientists as one of five 'blue zones' around the world. These are places where people exhibit remarkable longevity and experience little of the disease which plagues our modern society, such as obesity, cancer, type 2 diabetes and dementia. There is a host of reasons why the blue zoners are thought to live so long and so well - including supportive social networks, unintentional exercise, plenty of sunshine - but it is what they eat and how they eat that, in Giulia's view, is the most important. In this book, Guilia takes us on a culinary journey to these long-lived communities, where instincts and taste buds rule.
