Mediterranean Diet on a Budget: Recipes, Meal Plans, and Tips to Eat Healthfully for as Little as $50 a Week

Like: Spiral cover, recipe photos, easy to moderately difficult recipes, mostly practical ingredients, intro includes some good basic information. There are several recipes I am anxious to try and some that I am going to step out of my comfort zone and try.Dislike: No dislikes to report.

Good reviews not in as I haven’t made anything from the book. Budget is always ok. Book did look good. Fast shipping.

I loved that this cookbook had many color pictures. The recipes were clear and easy to follow. Some had exotic ingredients, but most of the ingredients were things I had already had or that were easy to find. I also like that it had a spiral ring rather than a traditional binding. It makes the book lie flat on the counter and it stays open to the page that you want. It also had lots of vegetarian and seafood dishes. I recommend it.

I've had this for a couple days now. I've not made any recipes yet. My biggest complaint is the word "Budget" in the title. Page 18 the author states "Each week I spent roughly $200 to $300, depending on which ingredients were on sale and which items I already had on hand". The book description says "for as little as $50 a week." I feel like I've been baited and switched. If you are looking for a true budget cookbook, keep looking. I didn't expect to feed my family of 4 for only $50, but I did expect to save something. I currently spend $300 a week depending on sales and we already eat mediteranean diet. So this isn't a budget plan for me.That said, I'm keeping the book. Some recipes look good and I will try them, but others are full of ingredients that I will never make and family wouldn't eat (kale and navy bean soup - no thank you). But I'm still looking for a budget cookbook.

Perfectly laid out with meal plans, shopping list for each week and easy yummy recipes.

The meal plans are great and work well for weekly meal prepping

My blood sugar and pressure returned to within normal range within a couple of months, and I lost 15 lbs.

I bought this a a gift for my sister and she Absolutely loves this cook book.

I didn't like this book. The recipes weren't interesting, and some were pretty finicky. There are many wonderful mediterranean, vegan, vegetarian and other sites all over the internet. I gave away this book because it really has nothing new, and doesn't add anything to the knowledge already available easily elsewhere.
