This book has a lot of great ideas and starting points. I've tried a couple recipes and they turned out well (but not great - which is why it's a 4 star). I really like the flavors of the dishes but there are definitely things that were added to some that had no value that I could see and I'll make the recipe again and just omit (ex. the "easy pesto chicken and potatoes" was great flavor wise and the potatoes were so tender, but the onions were mush)

Thank you Adams Media and Netgalley for a copy of The Everything Mediterranean Instant Pot Cookbook by Kelly Jaggers.
I really loved the variety of recipes in this cookbook! Definitely something for every taste. The cookbook is divided into many chapters including, breakfast, grains, rice, chicken, dessert and more which makes it easy to find a recipe based on need and ingredients. The recipes all seemed simple and the ingredients easily sourced so this would be perfect for anyone hoping to get more use out of their Instant Pot!

The Everything Mediterranean Instant Pot Cookbook is the exact type of cookbook I've been looking for! This book is perfect for anyone looking to eat healthy using whole foods while taking advantage of their Instant Pot. The recipes are broken down by food type. I was extremely impressed by the Grains section of the cookbook which has recipes for rice, farro, barley, quinoa and more. The 300 recipes are incredible and relatively easy to make. It will become a much used book in the kitchen!

I was happy to be approved to review an ARC of The Everything Mediterranean Cookbook for several reasons. I have enjoyed other books in the Everything series, I recently received an Instant Pot as a gift and my doctor suggested the Mediterranean diet at my last visit. After reading through the vast array of recipes, there are quite a few I look forward to trying. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in healthy recipes that can be cooked in an Instant Pot.

have tried a few recipes, and husband and I enjoyed them. Definitely some outside of my comfort zone, but plan on trying them all over time.

There are a lot of great recipes included in this book! I recently received an IP as a gift and this book will be great to have while learning how to use the IP. One thing I do wish this ebook version had is a table of contents at the beginning so it's a bit easier to navigate through the recipes. I'm looking forward to trying most of the recipes in this cookbook!

This instant pot Mediterranean cookbook is fantastic. It has a huge variety of recipes to choose from and they are delicious. This is one of the best Mediterranean cookbooks I’ve ever seen add in the convenient instant pot and it’s a home run. I love Mediterranean food so this will beat go too find for years to come. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review. I highly recommend it.

I have obviously not tried all the recipes because who has time for that! They are also not all to my taste, but the ones I tried were yummylicious!
The Lemon and Garlic Rice Pilaf was so good. I had it with grilled fish.
I also like some of the additional info eg about the Pasta Primavera. Who would have thought this dish originated in the US and Canada. It sounds so Italian!
The Heirloom Tomato Basil Soup was also really good and I loved the Burgundy Mushrooms. I will be making this a lot.

Well organized and presented; good recipes (at least the ones I've tried) with clear instructions and beautiful pictures for some.

I just recently purchased a new IP, and was looking for healthy and flavorful recipe ideas. This cookbook is the perfect find. I found the book easy to follow, and read. Some of the spacing was off, but I am guessing this is due to it being an ARC copy. Either way, the recipes are straightforward, tasty, and healthful. Perfect for this time of year.

I am struggling with this book as I want to like it so much but I am finding it very hard to navigate digitally and thus use. I've just bought an Instant Pot which I love and am using it daily. I've been following the Mediterranean Diet for years so when I saw this book I was very excited.

It has lovely photos and a lot of recipes but is almost impossible to use on my Kindle. I've tried using my iPad but that is not working well either. The formatting is better but I cannot get to the recipe I want.

I've just downloaded it to my desktop computer and can now see the text and recipes better but navigating to a recipe I is tedious. There is an index at the back but no link to the recipe. The only way is to find the 'Go To Page' function in the Adobe Digital Editions software. There is a table of contents before each section but finding the section start means scrolling through the whole book until you find it.

Disappointing.but I think the printed copy will be lovely and a great book! I think all recipes books are challenging in digital format, especially on a Kindle.

With thanks to NetGalley and Adams Media for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This cookbook is fantastic for a health-focused, busy, driven mama! For someone that works outside the home, and strives for healthy meals, I knew this was a book I wanted to review.

The book has been divided like a typical cookbook, meals and types. I was really excited to see an easy to make recipe for Hummus! I also really enjoyed that there's a salsa recipe, since we grow a garden and will be able to easily make it in the IP.

The only negative is I wish there was a master table of contents at the beginning of the ebook, so that it is easier to navigate to various chapters/sections within the book. Hopefully this can be modified before final printing.

I feel as if this is the best IP focused Mediterranean cookbook I've found!

I’ve really enjoyed reading the recipes in this book as it served two purposes in my life. The first being that my family received an instant pot for Christmas and the second is that I’ve been interested in a Mediterranean diet for some time. Admittedly, there are some dishes that I won’t try but there is plenty that I will definitely be digging into.

Thank you Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book is crammed full of tantalising dishes that will definitely get your taste buds dancing!
The hardest part of this book is the prep, but once youve gotten that down pat the rest is pretty straight forward and breezy.
There are so many dishes in this book I just dont know what to try first. Definitely a book to have in your collection!

The Mediterranean diet is arguably one of the best- if not the actual best- diets in existence. There is a huge focus on vegetables and fresh ingredients. The best thing about the Mediterranean diet is the delicious meals you can make and still eat in a way that is good for your body. If you have been around this blog for a while you will know I adore my Instant Pot. It is one of my most frequently used kitchen tools and I have several cookbooks devoted to this awesome little cooker. I book marked so many recipes in this book that I absolutely can not wait to try. The dessert section at the end made me happy because there were several delicious sounding desserts that were fruit based and used natural sweeteners to make them more healthy. There are so many recipes included here that there is definitely something for everyone! My absolute favorite find in this book is a Greek lemon chicken soup called Avgolemono. My local Greek restaurant serves this soup and it is one of my favorite things on the menu and I am excited to be able to make it at home! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys eating healthy!

The Everything Cookbook Mediterranean Instant pot
By: Kelly Jaggers

In this great Instant pot cookbook so many. Mediterranean favorites are ready so much faster with the same great taste. In pretty much and cooking prep work is essential. Once you’ve shopped and verified you have everything in your pantry to start cooking this cookbook couldn’t be easier to fallow. Each recipe gives very specific instructions on how to use your insta pot and when fallowed correctly it comes out beautifully and delicious. I highly recommend this book the author did a great job.

Thanks Netgally for the opportunity to read and review.

I found this cookbook full of interesting sounding recipes, which I would like to try. Some recipes sounded very simple, some very complex. My initial reaction was "I need a herb garden in order to make most of these recipes" . The author does mention that you can substitute dry herbs and that if you do, reduce the amount since dry herbs are more powerful than fresh. There are thorough step-by-step directions and good conversation charts. I believe this to be a good resource.

The recipes sound delicious. There’s a lot of recipes that require you to press cancel during the cooking process to do something else. I guess mentally I was expecting more of a crockpot cookbook where you put everything in and let it go until it’s done. Also, I am a visual person so I would have liked to see more pictures of the recipes.
