I love Mediterranean cuisine so this book was right up my alley.
I found the recipes easy to follow and I love that they are the type you can use every day and the ingredients are easy to find in supermarkets.

Thank you Netgalley and the author for allowing me to read this book.

I love a good Mediterranean cookbook. Colorful photos fill this book that has great, simple, easy to follow recipes.

Mediterranean Every Day by Sheela Prakash is soo delicious. The recepies are easy to follow. The images are bright and great

Everybody knows that the Mediterranean diet is very healthy. But everyone doesn’t know how to prepare good Mediterranean dishes. For those who want to serve something new, Mediterranean Every Day: Simple, Inspired Recipes for Feel-Good Food is a perfect cookbook with plenty of ideas for delicious meals that are based on Mediterranean ingredients. Although there are hundreds of good Mediterranean cookbooks, this one, written by well-known food writer and recipe developer, Sheela Prakash, has unique dishes that aren’t in most of the other cookbooks. The Mediterranean is a vast area, and the dishes Prakash has chosen to include in her book are mouthwatering.

Besides good recipes, the cookbook includes a basic ingredients chapter, and basic Mediterranean sauces, dressings, and things used often like roasted garlic. The photographs are beautiful, and they are of most of the dishes. There are appetizers, breads, soups, salads, main dishes, and desserts. Most of the recipes have minimal ingredients and are easy to follow. This is one of those cookbooks that has enough good stuff that it will appeal to everyone. Most of the ingredients are easy to find in any good grocery store or health food market; many are staples that are on your pantry shelf or in your freezer now.

If you want to change up your meals and make them healthy and good, you’ll want to pick up a copy of this excellent cookbook. There are enough recipes to keep you busy cooking new dishes for weeks.


Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

Lovely book full of great ideas for tasty meals and invoking that coveted Mediterranean lifestyle!
This book is a great start for those who want to jazz up the dinner table, inhale the scents of a summer holiday and eat tasty fresh food at home.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest feedback.

Swoon! This cookbook is for anyone who loves easy and simple Mediterranean food. And honestly, who doesn’t?

A fantastically colourful cookbook that made me hungry and also fat. Easy to follow instructions for a variety of recipes suitable for lots of settings. I loved it

This cookbook provides a terrific presentation of the many ways to prepare the food that constitutes the Mediterranean diet. Sheela Prakash, the author, explains the foods in the Mediterranean cuisine and provides clear, easy-to-follow directions to prepare lots of different, healthy recipes. The recipes are organized by category and the ingredients are fresh and easy to find locally. The pictures that accompany the prepared meals are vibrant and entice you to try the recipe.

If you are trying to follow a healthy diet and do not want to be bored by a bland, repetitive meal plan, the Mediterranean Every Day cookbook is an excellent choice.

This was such a beautiful book. I'm a huge lover of this type of cuisine, so it was a enormous pleasure to go through these pages.
I'd highly recommend this for anyone who appreciates good Mediterranean dishes. It would also be an amazing book to gift to a friend!

I loved how fancy these recipes came out. Despite spending like 20 minutes, you can produce such tasty, fancy seeming meals! Gorgeous photos and a seasonal focus make this a wonderful cookbook.

Mediterranean food had always been my go to comfort food (especially Italian) and these recipes all seem very accessible and easy to follow. Almost all the recipes have amazing and mouth watering pictures attached to them, so the ones that don't feel a bit awkward which would be my only complaint.

This was nice cookbook with plenty of yummy and interesting recipes to try. It's written clearly and the recipes are easy to follow.

I do love cooking and Mediterranean foods are some of my favourite dishes.

This book was lovely – I loved the bright sharp images, they almost made my mouth water. The recipes were easy to follow and I have a couple I will be attempting that looks very nice!

There is a good mix of starters, mains and deserts plus a few good sauces to make, along with cocktail recipes if you are interested in those too (I skipped that section as I don’t drink).

It is 5 stars from me for this one – definitely a book for the kitchen shelf to keep at hand!

Pretty concise and summed up. Contains both vegetarian and non vegetarian recipes. Didn't like some recipes(I'm a strict vegetarian)

Thank to Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press for providing me with an e-ARC of the book.

Beautiful, simple, seasonal and inspiring. Great balance of storytelling and getting down to the actual recipe. Great photos throughout, almost every recipe has one. Would have enjoyed it being longer, but a lot of cookbooks recently published feel too short to me. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for my digital review copy.

The focus of this book is on the “uncomplicated nature of Mediterranean food” and the recipes certainly reflect this. Written in a chatty, friendly style, it is an easy book to pick up and browse through recipes covering a range of Mediterranean based foods – biased towards Italian food, but also including snatches of north African and French cuisine.
Living in Europe, and watching and learning from French and Italian home cooks, I appreciate the recipes in this book such as the “Any Herb Pesto” which encourages experimentation with a range of ingredients, making use of what is currently in season. Using the pesto later in Thyme Pesto Roast Chicken with Crispy Potatoes is exactly what these cooks would do to use up plentiful ingredients. Helpful hints for using up excess ingredients (like Parmesan rinds) or storing/ freezing were a useful addition.
I have not had the chance to try any of the recipes, but have on my list, to name a few; Spicy Sausage and Rice Soup, Caramelised Leek and Fennel Galette and Balsamic Brown Butter Tortellini with Spinach and Hazelnuts.
For European readers, all ingredients are given in metric and imperial, though I would like to see weights for all ingredients, including vegetables.

While billed as a Mediterranean cookbook, it was heavy on the Italian influence. It is a beautiful book full of great color pictures of most of the recipes; the few that weren’t pictured made it feel awkward. The recipes themselves were simple, with few ingredients clearly listed and easy to follow instructions. While I enjoyed the book overall, it is probably better suited to a more novice cook without an already overflowing cookbook collection.

The Mediterranean diet is being advocated as the best diet for a longer and healthier life. Starting with an introduction to the different foods in Mediterranean cooking, Sheela Prakash provides a wealth of dishes from snacks, soups, Beans and grains meals to pasta dishes and desserts.
The recipes and instructions are easily explained and accompanied by a nice picture of almost all of the meals. Each meal is given a brief introduction to the meal and what the recipient is to expect in flavours.
Also with a mixture of meat and vegetarian meals it goes some way to please everyone.
This is a well-recommended cookbook.

I reviewed this on my blog and wrote about it on GoodReads ... I'll give the information directly to the publisher in the next round of this review process. Spoiler: I really like this cookbook.

Though the Mediterranean Every Day cookbook is written by a dietician, this is not a diet book, but at the Mediterranean way of eating.

There are 6 main chapters plus an introduction, which includes a list of cupboard staples plus a number of dressing recipes:
- Snacks & cocktails (3 ingredients or less)
- Salads & Soups
- Beans, Grains & Bready things
- Colourful Pasta
- Gathering Dishes
- Desserts

The recipes come with both metric and imperial measurements for the ingredients and the amount made. Not all the recipes come with a colour photograph, but those that do look delicious. The recipes come with a comprehensive list of ingredients and instructions.

There are plenty of recipes to choose from and a number of recipes I would love to try from this book, especially Skillet Lemon Chicken Thighs with blistered Olives, Chocolate Pear Crumble and Apricot Almond Clafoutis.

The recipes that are in this book seem to be inspired by the Mediterranean way of cooking, rather than having been passed down from the area, but still look very interesting to try.

I received this book from Netgalley in return for a honest review.
