A quick rundown of this product’s key features:
Quick and simple weeknight recipes that bring the delicious flavors and health benefits of the Mediterranean diet into your home—from the James Beard award-winning team at Milk Street
The Mediterranean diet is so much more than olive oil, grilled fish, and just-harvested vegetables—or its well-earned reputation for health. It is a diverse cuisine that encompasses the cultures and traditions of Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. The food is direct, simple, and honest, served without disguise or embellishment.
Every Tuesday Nights recipe delivers big flavor, but the cooking is quick and easy. These 125 Mediterranean dinners are ready in under 45 minutes, with many taking just 20 minutes:
Chicken alla Diavola with BroccoliCrispy Pasta with Chickpeas, Lemon and ParsleyFennel-Steamed Salmon with Warm Olive and Caper VinaigretteShrimp with Orzo, Tomatoes and FetaPanzanella with Fresh MozzarellaGreen ShakshukaFlank Steak with Tomato-Eggplant Ragu
Chapters are organized by how you cook, focused on time—Fast (45 minutes), Faster (35 minutes), and Fastest (under 25 minutes)—while others dive into themes such as Hearty Vegetable Mains, Supper Soups, and Flat and Folded—including pizza, flatbreads, pita sandwiches, and panini. Many of the recipes require only one piece of cookware, and they all are built from pantry staples.
Dinner? Solved—every night of the week.

Title: Great weekly cooking challenge
Review: Kimball has fathered several good recipes, the fruit of his travels around the Mediterranean. I’m not sure how he calculated his times to prepare and cook his recipes, but they are way underestimated. The results, though, are worth the effort–new and tantalizing flavors come with every dish.

Title: Excellent, fresh, easy
Review: So good. Easy recipes. Leans more on fresh herbs than our usual cooking, which is a great thing. I have cooked more from this book in a couple of months than from some excellent books I’ve had for years.

Title: Beautiful Book
Review: What I liked the most were the beautiful pictures of each dish made from the recipe. I judge a cookbook by the pictures as I want to compare my final dish to what it is supposed to look like. I also like the hints to help make the dish come out right and the time it takes to make it. With that being said, I am not sure if I will make anything because the finished dishes did not appeal to me. I am not much of one to eat something with a lot of money different items mixed together and it looked like that to me. However, it is still an interesting book and a beautiful book and I really appreciate the time and effort to put something like this together. Christopher Kimball is obviously good at what he does and it shows a man passionate about educating people on the cultural diversity of food.

Title: Not complicated recipes, generally standard spices and ingredients, love it all
Review: Got into a Mediterranean phase and bought this book. BEST BOOK EVER. Truly easy to moderately involved recipes. Love the use of veggies and simple spices to make things taste good. Just did the roasted eggplant/onions/beans/chili recipe last night and loved it. Love their style of recipes so much, I bought their vegetables cookbook and will probably indulge in a new cookbook.

Title: Fabulous & Delicious Recipes for Everyone
Review: This book has some delicious recipes that even the pickiest of eaters will love. What I’ve made so far, are very flavorful. There are fresh salads, soups, and lots of protein such as chicken, fish, beef and pork. We don’t eat pork or beef but I’m able to still use those recipes for fish or chicken, or even vegan options. Every recipe has a gorgeous photo for reference and the hardcover size of this book feels like high quality. I also love that recipes are placed in categories based on how fast they are and each recipe tells the amount of time it takes to prepare. And this is real cooking, these are healthy home made meals that you put your heart into making for the people you love to help them maintain health and healing. They are not shove in the microwave or oven for 10 minutes. You use fresh ingredients and there will be chopping of veggies and mincing garlic. Most of these recipes will take 25-40 minutes to prepare. This book would make a great gift for anyone who likes to cook.

Review: I have few books with many good recipes and many books with few good recipes. Returns have been diminishing book after book, but I invariably try to give books the benefit of the doubt. This is the book which made me finally decide to never buy another cooking book.In the introduction, it is stated that the theme which unites the regionally-diverse recipes is that “this is food that people really eat across the Mediterranean” and that “the food is direct, simple, honest”. I contend that it is the opposite. It is pompous, tricky and dishonest.Roasted meat recipes and pasta recipes seem to form the bulk of the book. I am not going to roast meat every day. The pasta recipes are esoteric and I doubt I will make any of them. I have an authentic pasta book; that is simple and honest. Many of the recipes in this book are “inspired” by restaurants or cookery books. Many of the Middle Eastern recipes are “inspired” by Western-based restaurants or writers. There’s Andalusian-style, Provincial-style, Greek-style, [insert region]-style nonsense. So much for food that people of the region really eat.Adding tahini or pomegranate molasses to a dish doesn’t make it Middle Eastern. The monstrosity which is brussels sprout “tabbouleh” shows a lack of knowledge of the essence of the dish. Mujaddara is a poor man’s dish. It doesn’t get any simpler than this. It shouldn’t (and doesn’t) take 45 minutes to make. Again, a lack of knowledge of the essence of the dish.You can tell that the recipes were created in a food lab from the combination of cooking methods and multeity of bowls, pans, skillets, et cetera used in any given recipe. Oh and every other recipe in the second half of the book seems to involve a Dutch oven.Like I said, pompous, tricky and dishonest. So, I’m done with cooking books (at least until Sabrina Ghayour releases another book).
