The 15-minute Mediterranean Diet Cookbook for Beginners by Yolanda Blake
is a cookbook and recipe collection slanted toward the Mediterranean
Diet with pantry lists, meal plans, and shopping guides included for
preparation and time-saving. Released 16th Jan 2025, it's 105 pages and is available in paperback and ebook
formats. For
Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is currently included in the KU
subscription library to borrow and read for free.
The layout is logical and easy to follow. The introduction covers the
basics of the Mediterranean Diet, tools, supplies, & how-to. The following chapters
include the recipes arranged roughly by category: breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks & sides, soups & salads, and desserts.
Ingredient measurements are
supplied in American measurements only. The
nutritional information: fat, carbs, protein content are listed for the
recipes as well as serving sizes. Extra tips or recipe alternatives are
listed in sidebars with
the recipes. The recipes themselves are fairly straightforward and are
made with easily sourced ingredients. Many are very simple, none of them
are overly complex.
The photography
is not abundant, however most of the recipes do contain a small color photo of the finished dish.
This is a nice collection of recipes and even allowing for the fact that
some of them are very similar to others in the same category, this will
keep cooks going for ages.
Four stars. Worth a look for readers thinking about giving the diet a try, especially since it's currently included in the kindle unlimited subscription.
