This recipe is inspired by Greece’s Blue Zone on the island of Ikaria. Ikarians make use of the herbs that grow around them in their teas, eat local honey, and consume goats’ milk and cheeses rather than from cows’ milk. This luscious panna cotta recipe is made with goats’ milk and yogurt, sweetened with honey, and scented with lemon and rosemary before being topped with walnuts and figs and more honey.

In Loma Linda, California, diets consist of fruits and vegetables as well as legumes, whole grains, and nuts. This crisp and juicy salad is inspired by those ingredients in the form of leafy greens, garbanzo beans, tomatoes, fennel, and sweet grapes. The toasted buckwheat adds a delicious crunch.
