From the Publisher

Make every meal Mediterranean, with dishes including:

Breakfast: Strawberry Basil Honey Ricotta Toast

Ricotta cheese isn’t just for lasagna! It’s a great source of protein and full of calcium with a flavor that pairs with both sweet and savory.

Lunch: Pan-Roasted Wild Cod with Tomatoes, Olives, and Artichokes

Even though cod is very lean and low in fat, it still adds a healthy serving of omega-3 fatty acids to your diet.

Dinner: Dinner: Shrimp with Arugula Pesto and Zucchini Noodles

This low-carb, veggie-packed meal preps in only 20 minutes and cooks in just 5, for a quick, weeknight-friendly meal.

Title: Tons of info to make the diet a success!
Review: I liked the helpful commentary about the diet, why it works, the benefits, etc. I also like the author's in-depth advice on how to make the diet work from highlighting foods to limit to explaining portion sizes, etc. The information was easy to read and understand. I enjoyed reading through every recipe and appreciated the nutritional information included so that you can really effectively plan a weekly menu of well balanced meals throughout each day. Good variety of foods too!

Title: Sheded 12lbs in about five weeks.
Review: I live alone so the healthy eating recipes "for two" in this book are a game changer for me.  No more mass quantities of leftovers that I psychologically feel that I must eventually eat.  I was raised to eat everything on my plate, or else (also, I was told that kids in China were starving so I needed to appreciate having all that I could eat).  I will literally eat anything so it is very easy for me to change what foods I am consuming. I also love to cook and the recipes in this book are delicious.  I also bought the cookbook Heart Healthy recipes for two. I lost weight so fast that it was actually a little startling at times.  I am 63 years old and I now weigh what I did when I graduated as a young healthy, physically fit man in college.

Title: Good intro to Mediterranean flavors... but
Review: I've tried two recipes so far, have a third planned and many more marked for the future. What I like is the emphasis on vegetables, cooking with olive oil, and the yummy flavors of tomato, olive and lots of herbs. Very flavorful! Love the Simple Sides chapter! Serving sizes are generous especially for soup. Two people can't eat a whole pot of it! What I don't like is as others have said, there are just a couple of pictures. What else I don't like is the frequend need of a food processor. Sorry, don't have one. I also don't like the uncommon ingredients that are rarely explained. There needs to be a separate chapter on the mystery items. I don't want to have to research items when I shop for a recipe. What is Halloumi cheese? Harissa paste? Za'atar seasoning? Pappardelle and orecchiette pasta? Piquillo pepper? Well at least farro and chermoula sauce were explained! In addition, a WARNING to those watching cholesterol: While there are recipes with moderate, low or no cholesterol, there are also many that are close to or over 100mg per serving. That's half or more of your recommended daily amount if you are watching your intake!

Title: Excellent recipes for a small household
Review: This has quickly become a favorite cookbook. By way of example, my other favorite cookbook is ATK's Cooking for Two. I have looked for a good Mediterranean Cookbook for a small household (I live alone) and this has been the only one that I can say I have really enjoyed and used. Some people have complaints about the lack of pictures, but I do not find that to be a problem. I'm glad I found this one.

Title: Great recipes
Review: These recipes are so simple. Easy to use whole ingredients. You won’t stock your pantry with unnecessary items that you are only going to use once. I love that. Great introduction at the beginning of the principles of the Mediterranean diet.

Review: Anne Danahy's straightforward, simple instructions make this one of the most approachable recipe books I've ever used. If you're someone who finds yourself checking and re-checking recipes as you, unable to remember if it was 3 teaspoons or tablespoons, this is for you. There's something about the very simple format and language that makes it incredibly easy to find what you need, even when you're simultaneously sautéing onions or flipping a piece of fish.The recipes are great, too. The sheet pan pesto chicken and potatoes is such a beloved dish in our home that the book now opens to that page on its own. I'm also a massive fan of the pan-roasted cod with olives, tomatoes, and artichoke — it's one that you can cook almost entirely from canned goods, which means you can stock up in advance and be ready to go with the addition of fresh fish.A great little book for any kitchen, Mediterranean or not.

Review: I'm working my way through this excellent recipe book and so far, every recipe has worked perfectly and will become staple 'go-to' meals. No longer cooking for a huge family, I appreciate being able to cook interesting meals for two, and these are great. The author is a registered dietitian, but to think of this as a diet book of any kind would be to misinterpret it. It's simply a way of eating, using flavourful foods and 'good' fats, Mediterranean style.

Review: I use this book several times a week to make weekday meals. Everything I've made from it has tasted delicious and is quick and easy to make. It uses ingredients that I almost always have on hand and the recipes are easy and fast. I'm not following it as a "diet," and haven't lost any weight but it has improved our nutrition and increased how often we eat vegetarian meals.
