Review Quotes

"I became interested in the Mediterranean Diet for health reasons and I appreciate the author's thorough explanation of the health benefits in the beginning of the book. Another big plus is that the recipes are written for two people so you can make just the right amount of food. All in all, a very good cookbook that keeps me interested in staying on the Mediterranean Diet!" -- Amazon customer

"I bought about half a dozen Mediterranean cookbooks this spring, and I cook only Mediterranean diet recipes now. All of the cookbooks are useful in their own ways, bet this one is my go-to when I'm cooking for just the two of us. If I had to downsize and give up 99 or my 100 or so cookbooks, this is the one I would take with me." -- Amazon customer

"I love this book! These recipes are portioned perfectly for two. They are easy to make and you're not left with leftovers that you're eating for days on end. You'll also be saving on your grocery bill as you won't need to buy a ton of food." -- Amazon customer
