This was a fabulous little cookbook! It's been a goal of mine to start incorporating the Mediterranean diet into my meals, but it always seems just a little overwhelming. I know the basic tenets of it, but when it comes to starting? Well Google searches turn endless and the several cookbooks I've tried seem to be for an audience a little more advanced than I am--the recipes either call for ingredients that aren't readily available/aren't economically viable (pricey one and dones vs. something that could be pantry stock) or call for cooking techniques that are above my pay grade (this diet is for me alone; other family members are not interested, so I need the basics at the moment). What does this long winded explanation have to do with the review at hand? Well for starters, Lisa Anderson's Complete Mediterranean Diet Cookbook for Beginners is that exactly. It's refreshingly simple--perfectly accessible for the beginning chef or just someone who wants to start this diet without pretention. Recipes are easy to follow and contain ingredients that just about anyone would have access to. I can't wait to dive in!

Thanks so much to the author for providing a copy of this book for review through LibraryThing.
