Shaw's New Book: 'Savor the Spices of Life'

"The book was designed and written with two ideas in mind; First, a personal story that took me on a journey from Jordan, in the Middle East, to the U-S-A, ‘Amreekah’ as we called it. The Second, is to explore and present you with key elements of the Mediterranean food, the way I lived it, both past and present, including the Health benefits which are derived from such cuisine ‘diet’ or as it is known ‘life Style’." - Shaw

Full of stories, heart-healthy recipes, and cooking tips, all combined with unmatched nutritional information, Shaw Rabadi’s Savor the Spices of Life is more than just a cookbook – it’s a guide to perfecting your way of using foods to their fullest potential.

BFS Restaurant named a Heart Healthy restaurant

Traditional Mediterranean Cuisine as represented in this menu not only tastes great - it's great for your heart. In fact, regularly eating this way has been shown in a ground breaking medical research trial to decrease heart desease risk by an impressive 70%*. Mediterranean people have been eating this way and enjoying life to the fullest for 3,000 years.

Traditional Mediterranean cuisine emphasizes:

• Multiple courses shared in a relaxed atmosphere with family/friends
• The freshest ingredients, minimally refined and processed
• Generous portions of vegetables sauteed in the magnificent oil of the olive
• The use of Omega-3 fats from multiple sources including walnuts and almonds
• Lean cuts of meat
• Whole grain breads and, of course, pasta

The Center for Preventive Medicine and Cardiovascular Health of Prime Care Physicians P.C. has teamed up with BFS Restaurant to develop menu choices which taste great and are especially good for your heart. Items on this menu have a composition which promotes the highest dietary standards of heart health.
