Explore the Ikarian Way of Eating with Diane Kochilas

The Greek Island of Ikaria is one of the “Blue Zones” where people are most likely to live long, healthy lives. So much of their longevity can be attributed to their way of eating. In this episode, Diane Kochilas, a New York City native whose family is from Ikaria, and who now lives there much of the year, explains the essence of the Ikarian way, and how to give traditional recipes a contemporary twist so they are do-able wherever you live.
