I was hoping for a primer on how to incorporate the Mediterranean Diet into my life. This book was more about cooking specific mediterranean recipes/food. I wanted to know how to incorporate everyday foods into a healthy program "based" on the Mediterranean Diet. There is nothing wrong with this book, it just wasn't what I was looking for and consequently, is not getting much use. :-(

I seen this book on TV and ordered it, BUT I never got it. Ordered It thru Amazon from a company called "Bargainsdepatched", I was charged right away, never received the book. Thanks to Amazon I got a credit on my charge, I have never had problems ordering anything thru Amazon before, and I will order from them again but not "BARGAINSDEPATCHED" So I don't have any idea if the cook book is good or not.

I am not too well satisfied with this book. A lot of the recipes are all made with the basic ingredients. Was looking for other options but did not find them.
