Dear fellow food-lover,

Special occasions, like the holiday season, call for dessert! When you have dessert, you can still follow the same principles as your typical Mediterranean Diet—emphasize nuts and seeds, healthy fats, whole grains, and fresh fruit.

Happy cooking from the team at Oldways!
Dessert, saved for special occasions, can still deliver the nutritional good stuff—these Mediterranean dessert recipes are full of whole grains, fruits, nuts, olive oil, and even vegetables.
A little sweet and a little savory, this dish is the perfect end to a Mediterranean meal. Creamy brie is complemented by sweet fig spread and the crunch of walnuts and pumpkin seeds.

This dense, spicy loaf cake is flavored with cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. Whole grain rye flour adds depth of flavor, with a touch of sweetness from the honey.

This special occasion treat is packed with the flavors of citrus. The zest of 10 lemons give this cake an unforgettable fresh, lemony flavor. A small slice goes a long way!
