Title: Magnificent Meditteranean
Review: This incredible book features some delicious recipes that we tend to make over and over 😋 I do try at least two new recipes each week to make sure I eventually get through the whole book. We like to rate our meals from 1-5 to see if we want it again, and my British meat and potatoes hubby has given many of them a 6⭐️! We're older so we try to eat healthier, but I still love my sweets, of which there are plenty of healthier options! It is a beautifully illustrated and detailed book that not only prepares your pantry, but explains tips and tricks for cooking! If I didn't already own it, I would definitely buy again! If Suzy writes another one, I'll buy that one also to add to the two I have. Eating Meditteranean food is exciting, and the spices you use are unforgettable. This book will change the way you eat!

Title: Exciting recipes
Review: The book I’ve been looking for. I’ve always wanted to focus on more Mediterranean recipes and when I saw this I knew I had to get my hands on it. And it hasn’t disappointed! I’ve had it for about 2 weeks and I’ve tried a few recipes with more on my to do list. The recipes are flavorful, colorful, and so much fun to put together. My first recipes I did was the mushroom gozlene and oh my so so good, and I loved that she included the tortilla recipe for it. I also did the avocado hummus, didn’t even know you could make something so interesting and easy!! I also did the one garlic chicken meatballs and honestly can’t wait to make it again! This is definitely a book with recipes I’ll use over and over again! Thank you 😊

Title: Tasty, Nutritious, and good looking
Review: I have both books and cook from them or the website constantly. Some of the dishes we really use often are Greek Red Lentil Soup, Roasted Stuffed Delicata Squash,and Mushroom barley soup-which my husband can't get enough of. Suzie's hints and tips are wonderful, and her directions are quite clear. Try her Pea Salad with lime and ginger dressing. Her fish and chicken dishes are easy and really tasty. If you love this cooking and find it difficult to find the herbs or seasonings, some of them she tells you how to make and there's always her store-with really fine products.

Title: Quality printing, strong binding
Review: Very nice book with easy to read directions and beautiful pictures. High quality binding the only thing it won’t do for us is actually cook the meal.

Title: Most dishes are VERY spicy
Review: The book has a nice introduction, interesting to read. The recipes are not purely Mediterranean, however, in the way that many people think: Italian and Greek. These recipes are a serious fusion with middle-Eastern recipes, and some African twists as well. I have tried a few, and loved them. BUT, you have to invest in some new and unusual spices and such that you may never have heard of, like Sumac, and Ras el hanout, besides the tons of fresh herbs. The caution is that MANY of the recipes have a hot and spicy character. Even in the photos you can see most dishes slathered with spices. You can tone them down accordingly, of course. I only wish more authentically Italian and Greek recipes were featured. They are definitely in the minority. Regardless, I have every intention of trying more of the recipes. The two I tried already were great. But they were NOT fast, or easy. Lots of prep. The pan-seared red snapper was a lot of prep, and work, and time, and clean-up. It stated that you could use “any thin white fish fillets”, so I used cod. It fell completely apart when I served it, but yes, it tasted good. I made the berry compote, and paired it with brie and crusty bread, and it was delicious. Not too hard at all, that one. But overall, this is not a go-to book for quick dinners, or after a long day at work. And you need to go out with a list and find a number of things you never heard of before you get started.
