Im from Greece and I can tell you that your advices for Mediterranean food are very good. Olive oil, fish and beans are a standard for us here in Greece. Keep giving us your videos!

Thanks so much for sharing. I love ❤️ trying different foods. I’ve always been worried about oils as a lot of diets cut it out and it’s actually good for you xx

Cool, I gave up all animal products 7 years ago, then later moved into the whole foods space and it is the best choice I have ever made. Worst choice was not knowing sooner

Great job, Holly! The food looks amazing. I'm feeling healthy already! Btw. I read somewhere that the Mediterranean diet is even compatible with alcoholic drinks (like wine). Cheers! Greetings to the UK!

Thank you Harry! You’re not wrong there, they are partial to a glass of red wine with their meals from time to time, nothing is off limits!😄 Have a great day and greetings to you too☺️

Greetings from Catalonia! Very happy that you are inspired with our diet. Just so you know, I don't know where did you find the bread and tomato info, but that is Catalan, 100%. And we don't shred the tomato, that is only for restaurants who want to go fast. We cut it in half and spread it directly to the toast and then add some olive oil too 😉 Good appetite!

Greetings! Thank you for your comment and sharing this knowledge!😃 I referred to it in Portuguese as I can speak a little Portuguese so was easier for me to understand/pronounce!😄 That’s super interesting though I didn’t know that’s how it’s traditionally made. I will have to give the traditional way a go😋 You certainly have the most delicious food by far!☺️
