Fall in Love with Mediterranean Cuisine

I am always looking for new recipes. If they are of the Mediterranean diet variety, so much better. This is not a comprehensive recipe book, but does give the reader/cook many delicious recipes to choose from. One of my favorites is the cod with lemon sauce. Yummy! It is hard to get my husband to eat chicken, but I did find several versions that he liked and will eat. One of the best things is the author's notes about how easy or difficult (and none really are) the recipes are to make. A nice addition to the cookbook collection!

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read and review this book. In this recipe book there are both traditional time-tested recipes and contemporary ones that are already well-loved by professional chefs and nutritionists. I enjoyed the photos and the recipes in this book. I got a lot of inspiration for new recipes.

Great collection of recipes with wonderful pictures. Love the layout and easy steps. Love Mediterranean food and this book gives many options for vegetarian and meat eaters. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this creative book.

I think this book does a great job of labeling the recipes so you know before you start if it's going to be an easy recipe or a not so easy recipe. The instructions seems easy to follow and the ingredients looked like things that would be readily available at the grocery store. Looking forward to trying some of these out.

Fall in Love with Mediterranean Cuisine by Bernetta Parris is the Ultimate Mediterranean Diet Cookbook with Pictures for Beginners and Gurus and what a beautiful book this was. If you love the Mediterranean Cuisine/ diet this is a book for you. Its has great illustrations and clear guidelines throughout I found it a must for my kitchen shelves.

Unfortunately, this cookbook did to make me fall in love with Mediterranean cuisine.

I think this cookbook is average. I did not feel particularly inspired. Although the cookbook was well organized in some ways (difficultly and time), I did not like the structure on each individual page. I enjoyed the pictures (because every good cookbook should have pictures).

Some who are well versed in the Mediterranean diet might be more inclined to this book, but as a beginner, it was not as appealing.

I recommend checking it out at the library before you purchase it.

Thank you to Net galley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was very excited to read this book but I can’t review it because I downloaded it in my laptop and I broke the screen and now I can’t access the titles there unfortunately and I can’t download it again since it’s archived. I apologize. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This is an excellent cookbook with tasty recipes. The Mediterranean Diet is healthy and delicious., Estelle with these recipes to help. The photos are great, and I love that the author puts the difficulty of the recipe, like easy or tricky.

My favorites:

Chicken with mushrooms
Crab and asparagus risotto
Leek and salmon parcels
All the soup recipes!

I recommend this book, 5 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

Seriously perfect title for this book. I loved this so much I can’t wait to work my way through the whole book.

I've never seen a cookbook that lists the level of difficulty and time to prepare in the Table of Contents, and I have to say, this should become a thing! This beautiful book contains plenty of recipes, each with pictures and some nutritional information. I eat a special diet for health reasons, so there are numerous recipes I would not try, BUT I can see how to easily substitute if you do not eat gluten or dairy, which are both part of the Mediterranean diet. I think this gives a good sampling for someone who is not quite a beginner chef getting into this healthful diet. It does include good "how-to" reference at the end. 3.5 stars because there are some odd (to me) ingredients without substitutions listed.

I’m so impressed with the recipes in this Mediterranean cookbook. I love how each one states up front the difficulty level (super easy, easy, effort, tricky - really helpful information!). I also love that the instructions are clear and there are lots of pictures throughout. I love Mediterranean food and this cookbook does give me the confidence to try recipes I would not have normally tried at home.

I loved the idea of this book. I really enjoyed looking through it. It’s easy to read and follow. The illustrations are beautiful. But some of the ingredients are unusual and not repeated often enough throughout recipes. We didn’t love the recipes we made and it wasn’t easy enough for someone new to Mediterranean cooking.

This cookbook was truly a delight to read. I was excited at the prospect of learning more about Mediterranean cuisine and the Mediterranean diet as this is a type of cuisine that I am not so familiar with. The table of contents of this cookbook immediately drew my attention, as well as the pictures accompanying the recipes in this book. I found this book easy to understand and follow, and I have already used one of the recipes featured in this book to make an absolutely delicious meal for myself and my family. I cannot wait to try out more recipes from this cookbook! Successfully making one of the meals featured in this cookbook makes me so excited to try out more of them. I think that this cookbook is perfect for beginners and for experts in cooking.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book!

Fall in Love with Mediterranean Cuisine: The Ultimate Mediterranean Diet Cookbook with Pictures for Beginners and Gurus by Bernetta Parris is a lovely cookbook. I enjoyed the beginning of the book where the Mediterranean diet is explained. The pictures are lovely and enticing. The nutritional information adds value to the recipes. So far, I have tried the Ginger-Infused Roasted Creamy Carrot Soup and it was delicious!

This is a great book for someone wanting to start on the Mediterranean Diet or for some new recipes if you already already familiar with this diet. I thought the book was very descriptive and had lots of recipes to choose from.

I love Mediterranean Cuisine, so the title of this book was an instant magnet.

The difference with this cookbook is that the recipes look and sound authentic. I've tried to make chicken souvlaki many times, and each time I have been disappointed. Bernetta Parris's detailed instructions might just do the trick this time!

There are many flavourful recipes in each section devoted to salads, pasta, fish/seafood, chicken and meat. <u>Fall In Love with Mediterranean Cuisine</u> by Bernetta Parris is a keeper: I am definitely ordering my own copy! Highly recommended!

The photos almost had me drooling so I can’t begin to imagine what some of these dishes taste like. Several tasty looking fish recipes which I fully intend to try. As a family I often say we don’t eat enough fish and these recipes have certainly whetted my appetite.
Lots of variety to choose from to suit all tastes.

This is such an informative and comprehensive book about Mediterranean cooking. The whole book is laid out beautifully with gorgeous pictures and tips for each recipe. The table of contents shows the difficulty level for each recipe. The first 2 recipes in the book are all time favorite for me, and I was very excited to learn them. First up: ginger infused roasted creamy carrot soup (wow that a mouthful…lol pun not intended but definitely works)! It turned out absolutely delicious.
100% a recommended cookbook
