    I have wanted a good resource for fairly uncomplicated recipes. Have been trying some of the recipes, very good. My husband and I are in our 60's and it feels good to break out of the recipe routine that has become a habit over the years.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Modern Mediterranean, January 11, 2012
    This cookbook is great. It has a good mix of easy dishes (ready in 30 minutes or less), for those short on time or patience, intermediate, and challenging dishes, for the adventurous types, or if you'd like to make a day of cooking.

    One of the best things about this cookbook, which most others lack, are the pictures. Every single recipe has a picture of the finished product. To me, this makes a great cookbook. Sometimes you want to see what the dish is suppose to look like. I find that it helps me decide what I want to cook and makes each recipe that much more enticing.

    Overall, a solid cookbook with interesting mixes of ingredients. I am enjoying trying out the recipes.
