Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
The Mediterranean diet is one of the most-studied diets of all time, and is known to boost energy, lower cholesterol, strengthen your immunity, and help you maintain a healthy weight. Coupled with the nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based meals, a complete vegiterranean cookbook will help you create wholesome, flavorful, satisfying Mediterranean dishes that are free of both animal products and artificial ingredients.

Learn the main tenants of the Mediterranean diet so you can continue mixing up masterpieces on your own. Recipes include prep time, number of servings, and are labeled for gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free. This vegiterranean cookbook also offers guides and tips for a holistically healthy Mediterranean lifestyle, including exercise, attitude, and community.


My Review:
Vegan Mediterranean Cookbook is a vegan cookbook that is also based on the Mediterranean diet. The recipes focused on using minimally-processed, whole-food, plant-based ingredients. She sometimes used store-bought breads in the recipes. Most of the recipes served 4 to 6 people, took around 30 minutes to make, and had fewer than 10 ingredients. Almost all of the ingredients in the recipes should be easy to get. She labeled if a recipe was gluten-free, soy-free, oil-free, and/or nut-free.

She included 10 recipes for hummus, dips, and sauces; 10 recipes for small plates, sides, and snacks; 11 breakfast recipes (for smoothies, pancakes, etc.); 10 recipes for breads, wraps, and sandwiches; 18 recipes for salads and soups; 15 recipes for main meals; and 9 recipes for deserts. Each recipe included "per serving" information on calories, total fat, saturated fat, sodium, carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and iron. There were full-color pictures of some of the dishes.
