 Work up front May 12, 2007
By Cooking Goddess
I haven't tried any of the recipes yet because most of them require the prior preparation of a stock or sauce (recipes are also provided for these)in order to prepare the main recipe. The recipes sound good and flavorful, but I need to make the time to prepare the sauces/stocks and put them in the freezer so I can make these recipes on a moments notice. So if you're looking for a cookbook that you can just pick up and instantly make the recipe, this is not the one for you.

 Everything Mediterranean Cookbook Oct 12, 2009
By Bonita S. Gilbert
"yankeerev"
I wish the marketing had been clearer that this is mainly a diet book. The inclusion of such recipes as the one for steamed broccoli was so disappointing. I have a repertoire of stocks that goes far beyond what this book offers and am used to having them on hand all the time. I am a fairly accomplished cook and was looking to branch into traditional Mediterranean cuisine which I have never tried before. This book does not take you there. It's going to the library sale.

 Very good book Oct 20, 2010
By L. Galyean
"Chef Linda"
Yes, these recipes take time because you have to do some homemade stock, but that is why they taste so much better. I am a Chef and I write recipes and have written several cookbooks myself. I can tell you this book and recipes are very good and a much healthier way about cooking. I already make my own stock and sauces, because it is much healthier (taste better) then buying store bought high sodium and full of MSG stocks and sauces. I have learned in Italy how to cook Italian food and this book is pretty close to the real thing. If you love to cook and want to make healthy dinners for your family then I recommend this book. If you are wanting a quick meal then this is not the book for you, although they do have some quick recipes too. Mediterranean cooking is all about Fresh, Fresh, Fresh Ingredients and that is why it taste so good.
Enjoy Life and Happy Cooking,
Chef Linda

Need $$ to be on this diet Feb 21, 2011
By Kat Smith
This diet is really great! However the only down fall I found is that it is very costly. Eating fresh and organic is most certainly way to go but we were spending way too much on food to be on this diet. Recipes are wonderful and you feel really good after you eat a lot of these foods for awhile. This diet is not for someone on a budget.
