This book was a happy surprise I found at a thrift shop. Having adhered to a largely plant based Mediterranean diet for the past four years, I am always open to fresh inspiration. The recipes in this book appear to be fairly simple, are well explained and have beautiful color pictures alongside. I've made a list of the items I want to try: Cheese and Spinach Dumplings, Tuscany Sausage and Bean Soup, Tortilla Española, Fish in Island Sauce. I'll update this review after I try the recipes. They look great!
I bought this book because facebook was advertising it and showed these yummy recipes being cooked in the advertisement but after getting the book none of what was shown on facebook with even in the recipe book and that was the reason I wanted the book because I would have been interested in learning how to make what was being shown on facebook so I'm not impressed at all with trickery like that
Bought this cookbook supposedly for free, but paid $10 for shipping. Total waste of money. The receipes are written such that it is difficult to see the ingredients. The nutritional information is in darker print than the ingredients. The book won’t stay open, the receipes have many ingredients that you wouldn’t normally have around the house. Total waste of money. I have asked if I can return it, otherwise it will go to charity.
Fantastic and easy recipes. Many vegan options as well as ways to make recipes vegan. I'm not a picky eater and could easily cook my way from the front of this book to the back.
Not at all what I expected, recipes are not what I expected and there is a lot of preparation. Also not many dinner recipes, very different recipes not things that you really have in hand. you would have to find a lot of the ingredients in specialty stores.
