Having read his first book that got me started on the Mediterranean Diet, I looked forward to his new book and new recipes. The first 100 pages are a recap about the good about the diet. The last is recipes with pictures. I was somewhat disappointed in it. If you plan on going on this diet I suggest you get his first book The Mediterranean Prescription with Meal Plans and also I liked The Oldways 4 week mediterranean diet Menu Plan. They also have a good web site.

A friend gave me this cookbook and I thought: Why have I not heard of this? (I love cookbooks.) It's amazing: clear, beautiful, simple, healthy, delicious. You will not be disappointed. It's everything you could want in a cookbook!

I got this book because I didn't want to "diet" as much as I wanted to eat more simply and healthfully and eliminate processed food. This book was just what I needed. The recipes are simple --- the instructions are clear and use fresh ingredients readily available at any grocery or farmer's market. And most of all, they are delicious!! I can't wait till dinner to try something else!

The author is a doctor so there is a lot of health information at the beginning of the book, which I appreciated. That info leads into the recipes, which at first I thought would not go over very well in my family. But, I have since made more than a handful and all of them have been winners especially the vegetable dishes. It truly is a simpler way of eating, the recipes are generally simple and easy. Be prepared to have a lot of olive oil and garlic on hand!
