A potentially lifesaving cookbook.

4 stars

I don't normally review cookbooks, but this one was necessary. Earlier this year my doctor recommended I take up a primarily Mediterranean diet to help with my heart failure and obesity. I picked this cookbook up from the library because it sounded like a good place to start. This is the only book I ever liked so much that I purchased a copy before the library book was even due. So far we have liked every recipe we've tried in the book, and in the 6 weeks I've been using it as my primary source of meals I've lost over 20 lbs., and my blood pressure has remained in check.

In particular in the introduction part, she talks about how to grocery shop and includes that when choosing whether to purchase something ask yourself if someone on a Mediterranean village would have this in their kitchen. I'm a Midwesterner I have no reference for what they would have in their kitchen. It's the 21st century so I assume we all have access to the same groceries. Also, in one recipe she completely missed a step. She had us to mix a set of ingredients and set it to the side, but then never said what to do with it later in the recipe.
