In our quest for Mediterranean or Keto recipes online, you may have come across the esteemed Greek Goes Keto website, along with our YouTube channel and social media pages. With five years of dedicated content creation, we are thrilled to announce the release of our first Keto Mediterranean cookbook.
As a married couple with a shared passion for history, art, gastronomy, and healthy living, we also contribute articles on various aspects of the Keto Mediterranean lifestyle. In today’s fast-paced world, where ultra-processed foods and hectic lifestyles contribute to widespread health issues, we believe that reconnecting with our ancestral wisdom is crucial. Through our writing on the Mediterranean lifestyle, we aim to provide solutions to global health problems, encompassing nutrition and overall lifestyle choices.
Based in different historical locations, including Athens, Greece during the summer months, and Croatia, Montenegro, Italy and Bosnia & Herzegovina throughout the rest of the year, we have the opportunity to explore diverse Mediterranean regions. This allows us to draw inspiration from the rich cultural and culinary heritage of these areas, infusing our work with a deep appreciation for the historical significance of Mediterranean cuisine and lifestyle.
