A lovely compilation of Mediterranean dishes, interspersed with tips and information about methods, materials and ingredients (olive oils, sauces, etc.). If you already like Mediterranean dishes, or are looking to make a healthy change, browse this book. Although some dishes can be quickly prepared, as with most healthy cooking, be prepared to use a lot of fresh ingredients and spend a little extra prep and cooking time in the kitchen.

A lot of the recipes in this book require ingredients that I have never heard of and doubt they sell them here in Buffalo. Only a handful of them sounded interesting enough to try. And I am sorry but if a recipe calls for chicken livers, anchovies or some other thing that I have never even heard of but sounds scary, I am not going to make it.
While the recipes in the book are good, the author is a relentless snob and misses absolutely no opportunity to disparage the low quality of American ingredients; eggs, mushrooms, whatever -- you name it and she'll tell you they're sooooo much better in Italy (where the author has a house). Lady, just give me the recipes and spare me the commentary, 'kay?

i agree with the author that if your missing an ingredient or replace one for another these Mediterranean recipes still taste delicious and healthy for the heart. If you're looking to expand your skills of this style of cooking then you found the right book.
Quick, convenient, everyday tome this is not. For example, one side dish may have a dozen ingredients and two pages of instructions. These recipes will not fit in with my everyday rotation.
I did keep a few to try, and a lot seemed they would be tasty, even if not flashy.
Don't look for information on the Mediterranean Diet; but, the balance of vegetarian to soups, to meats did seem in line with the diet principles.

Almost gave this one 2 stars because it doesn't have any photographs, but there are some yummy-sounding recipes included as well as tips on cooking with some of the particular ingredients.
Another book I skimmed through. Hilary, my daughter, went to a continuing education on stress management and nutrition and this book was recommended. Copied some recepies but haven't tried any yet.
The informational part of the book was very interesting. I learned a lot about olive oil. However the recipes were a little to unusual for my taste and contained no photos :-(
I got this at the library to check it out, and now it's on my amazon wishlist for xmas.. Great recipes!
This book is a good introduction to mediterranean cuisine and its value for a healthy diet.
Needed to have some beautiful pictures to go with some of the recipes.
Disappointed. None of the recipes sounded very impressive and the book lacked pictures. Boo.
This is a good cookbook with a lot of information on Mediterranean food. I enjoyed the book but found many of the foods expensive and not able to get many of the food items where I live.
Absolutely wonderful! Simple recipes with delicious ingredients and clear instructions. Makes healthy eating a joy.
Well written with a good variety6 of recipes; some of which I had forgotten all about and now have!
I've cooked my way through this entire cookbook -- www.goodbyebutter.com.
