The Essential Mediterranean Diet Cookbook for Beginners 2024 by Kimberly N. Bains is a 2024 publication.

My DH and I have been on this diet for about 8 months, and we love it! I’m always looking for more recipe ideas, so when I noticed this cookbook in the KU program I couldn’t resist.

This book has thousands of recipes so surely there is something here for everyone who is interested in the Mediterranean way of eating. It also includes recipes that utilize the insta-pot or pressure cooker- which I’ve come to rely on more and more often- so that was a big help for me.

For beginners there’s a 30-day meal plan to help you get started. From there the book is sectioned off into categories as most other cookbooks- but there are a few hiccups.

The biggest one is the lack of photographs- which is sort of a big oops. Not every recipe, due to simplicity, needed a photo, but photos are necessary- at least a smattering of them per category- in my opinion.

The other issue was the sheer volume of recipes. It was just overwhelming, and some great recipes could get lost in the shuffle or overlooked. Honestly, the popularity of this diet would certainly allow for this volume to be broken down into at least two, maybe three or four even, segments. The inclusion of photos would help fill it out and encourage people to try the dishes and meal plans.

Other than that, this will give the beginner an idea of how many different ways one can incorporate fresh vegetables, whole grains, and fruits into their diet using their favorite cooking methods and without too much extra time in the kitchen.

Everyone has heard of the Mediterranean Diet, but not everyone knows the details. It concentrates on food grown in the region, in countries like France, Italy and Greece. The Diet is all about fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and nuts, with an occasional glass of wine.

Its many health benefits include weight management, cognitive health and diabetes prevention. Along with your new eating habits, consider increasing your interactions with other people and add to your daily activity/exercises.

This book has lots of recipes, for all meals. Start with something small, like cooking with olive oil, instead of butter. Try cooking just one recipe in this book, then cook another recipe, and another. Before you know it, you will be on your way to healthier eating. It is very much worth considering.

a great cookbook with a huge variety!

I got this cookbook because of a Greek coworker. Her stories of back home made me very interested in the way they eat over there as well as how they think of food. I can’t wait to try these recipes out on my family and also start practicing how to savor food.
