Win a copy of ‘The Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals’

The recently launched The Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals, by Dan Buettner and National Geographic Books, is a brilliant kitchen companion for MFM supporters, vegans, vegetarians or anyone looking to shake up their recipe roster. 

Dan Buettner is a National Geographic Explorer and multiple New York Times bestselling author who has spent the last 20 years studying the lifestyles, diets and environments of the world’s blue zones. For those wondering, a blue zone (of which there are five) is somewhere that has a large population of people living the longest, healthiest lives – beyond the age of 100. 

These areas have lower rates of chronic diseases, and a lifestyle that promotes physical activity, healthy eating, strong social connections and low stress levels. Where are the blue zones? They are dotted around the world and are; Okinawa in Japan, Sardinia in Italy, Nicoya in Costa Rica, Ikaria in Greece and Loma Linda in California. 

Following on from extensive years of research, Dan made a Netflix series called ‘Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones’, which was nominated for six Emmy Awards and won three. Dan’s newest book, The Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals offers 100 fast, affordable, plant-based recipes inspired by the longevity traditions of these areas and is designed to make healthy cooking at home both simple and delicious. 

Taking inspiration from around the world, recipes range from Sweet West African Peanut Stew and Spanakopita Pasta to Tofu and Dumpling Miso Soup and Brûlée Pears with Spiced Yogurt and Muesli. 

The Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals is available to buy from various retailers.
