Book Review - Quick and Easy Mediterranean Recipes by Amy Riolo

Quick and Easy Mediterranean Recipes: Delicious Recipes from the World's Healthiest Diet (New Shoe Press)

Quick and Easy Mediterranean Recipes: Delicious Recipes from the World's Healthiest Diet by Amy Riolo
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Synopsis:  Live longer, feel younger, lose weight, and have more energy by incorporating the Mediterranean way into your home kitchen.

Take the advice of the professionals who rate the Mediterranean diet the #1 healthiest diet in the world year after year. By following a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil, nuts, beans, fish, and led by fruits and vegetables—even drinking a little wine with meals—you can improve your brain function, lose weight, improve your heart health, reduce your cholesterol, prevent diseases, look and feel younger, and prolong your life.

My Thoughts: The intro and pyramid were cool. It was interesting seeing how the Mediterranean diet pyramid stacked up to others as well as fun reading the little tidbits included with each recipe about traditions.

I have always been interested in learning some Mediterranean dishes and I did find one or two here that I am certain my family might enjoy but I wish the book had more photo's of the completed recipe's. I like to see the finished product to help me to gauge how a dish should turn out.

While most of the food sounded tasty and what little I saw looked yummy I just don't think my family would benefit much from these as they also sound like the ingredients would be to pricey to obtain on a daily or even weekly basis. Especially the cost of things now a days.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy of this for my honest opinion.
