The Blue Zones Kitchen fuses scientific reporting, National Geographic photography and 100 recipes that may help you live to 100.  The Blue Zones' food tradition is going the way of the dodo bird, thanks to the encroachment of the American food culture.  This book captures the way of eating that yielded the statistically longest-lived people and explains, in some detail, why that food has enabled populations to elude the chronic diesase scourage that has befallen Americans.  

New York Times best-selling author Dan Beuttner has traveled the world and visited tiny kitchens from Ikaria to Okinawa to document the recipes and dietary traditions he learned along the way.  Stunning photography from National Geographic photographer David McLain accompanies the stories and recipes passed down from the longest-lived people in the world.  

Building on decades of research, longevity expert Dan Buettner has gathered 100 recipes inspired by Blue Zones communities around the world, which were found to be home to the healthiest and happiest communities in the world.

Each dish--for example, Sardinian Herbed Lentil Minestrone; Costa Rican Hearts of Palm Ceviche; Cornmeal Waffles from Loma Linda, California; and Okinawan Sweet Potatoes--uses ingredients and cooking methods proven to increase longevity, wellness, and mental health.

Complemented by mouthwatering photography, the recipes also include lifestyle tips (including the best times to eat dinner and proper portion sizes), all gleaned from communities around the world.  Innovative, easy to follow, and delicious, these healthy-living recipes make the Blue Zones lifestyle even more attainable, thereby improving your health, extending your life, and filling your kitchen with happiness.

"With The Blue Zones Kithen, Dan Buettner has given us a fact based, delicious prescription for eating to live longer, better lives.  Immersing himself in the world's longest-lived communities, Buettner has codified a true diet of longevity.  Whole food, plant based eating has never tasted this good, made more sense or been so easy.  I've traveled the world to explore and seen every imaginable style of cooking and let me tell you, this book will change your life."
