Great cookbook full of delicious recipes--not just for diabetics but for anyone who likes good healthy (but not boring) food. My review and road test of nine recipes are here:

Since my favorite Greek #restaurant closed down, it became a must to learn how to cook many of my favorite #recipes. Being diabetic, I needed to know how to do it correctly for that. This #cookbook is great for both: Greek cuisine & diabetic friendly; of course it doesn't just focus on Greece, but other countries of the Mediterranean area.

The photos are beautiful; recipes are detailed with ingredients and preparation steps; nutritional values are listed; hints and stories are also included. This would be a wonderful addition to the bookcase of any home cook that loves variety...the spice of life!

The recipes were uninspired and contain a shocking amount of sugar and unrefined flour and therefore carbs; another hard pass.

I only found one recipe in the entire book that gave me an idea for a recipe - adding a slight amount of mascarpone to a yogurt parfait.

Only 1% of the recipes have accompanying photos which is a hard pass for a cookbook for me.

I will say, the section on tea & coffee was an unexpected surprise.

Seemed a bit dated. Could cut out alot of oil & sugar from these recipes. I mean its for diabetics and yet they are adding sugar to recipes that really don't need it. Big thumbs down on that.

This book sounded like it had so much potential, but the recipes don't actually taste very good.

Mediterranean cuise is supposed to be healthy for us. This book contains a collection of Mediterranean recipes geared toward the diabetic seeking a heart healthy diet.

I like simple recipes with ingredients that are easy to have on hand. There were about 10 recipes in here that sounded very good and that I'd be willing to try.

Mostly recipes. Too many different foods to add to one's pantry. Did not work out for me.

Borrowed from library. Cooked Friday night dinner to great acclaim. Flagged so many other recipes, I'm going to just buy a copy.

Would work if I wasn't allergic to tomatoes. Not enough soups though.

The recipes sound good, but complicated. I wanted a more simple, practical cookbook with items we have on hand and can make reasonably quickly.
