Paella! A Mediterranean Diet Inspired Video Collaboration

The Mediterranean Diet has been credited with contributing to longevity, healthy heart and brains. Research has shown that it can protect against heart disease, depression, cancer, type 2 diabetes, dementia, Alzheimers and Parkenson's all while eating delicious unprocessed foods and sipping a glass of wine ( in moderation).  I learned of this diet early on and grew to love the flavors of this region. One of my favorite cookbooks to photograph was one called Saffron Shores by the wonderful Joyce Goldstein who is such an expert on this region's cooking.

"Paella! Mediterranean Healthy" is a video collaboration with fellow photographer and PD Clinton Perry and was inspired by the quick, easy and fun dish that captures all the flavors and health benefits of the region. I also admit that I was a bit influenced by my recent trip to Puglia, Italy.
