Ratings and reviews

Mediterranean Every Day by Sheela Prakash Simple, Inspired Recipes for Feel Good Food Gorgeous, easy to read, simple recipes with ingredients I can find easily where I live made this a delight to peruse today. I found my mouth watering and my fingers itching to get into the kitchen and create. The fact that I live in a small village in Lebanon and often cannot find the ingredients in recipes made this book one that I would gladly pick up and add to my cookbook shelf. What I liked: * The backstory to the creation of the book * The simple to understand and follow recipes * The availability of ingredients where I live * That there are vegan and vegetarian recipes included * That I wanted to immediately start cooking * The section with three or fewer ingredient recipes for snacks and cocktails * The idea that any of these recipes would work well for family or as food for entertaining guests * The variations on recipes that allows the cook to play and create themselves * And, more What I did not like: That it is too hot to go into the kitchen right now and bake one or two of the items lingering in my mind. Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
