20 Mediterranean & Blue Zone Plant-Based Recipes

Job ID: 38536028

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I'm looking for a talented recipe developer to create 20 dinner recipes that are 80% plant-based, inspired by Mediterranean and Blue Zone diets. The recipes should be high in fiber, low in refined carbohydrates, cost-effective, simple and easy to cook, and tasty, using ingredients readily available in grocery stores or via Amazon in the United States.

Here is a link to an example, but we would opt to use quinoa instead of rice:

Key Requirements:
- 80% vegetarian and/or non-vegetarian but prefer 70-80% of non-vegetarian meals to be plant based

- A focus on Mediterranean and Blue Zone dietary principles

Ideal Skills:
- Culinary expertise with a focus on plant-based diets
- Knowledge of Mediterranean and Blue Zone diets
- Experience in creating cost-effective recipes
- Ability to provide dietary substitutions
- Familiarity with grocery availability in the United States

The goal is to provide an alternative for the common unhealthy typical American diet and/or fast food.
