5 Ingredient Mediterranean Cookbook by Denize Hazime

 5 Ingredient Mediterranean Cookbook  101 easy and flavorful recipes for every day by Denise Hazime
Like the idea of this book because it'd be how we already eat and I'm always looking for new recipes.
Starts with a dedication and then introduction about what the diet is and the different favors of the diet.
Concentrates on all aspects of this diet/lifestyle. Has medium size color photographs throughout.
A 7" x 9" book that will lay flat when you open it on the table.
Like the section about quality over quantity because it talks about all the spices and other food groups that incorporate this diet and a short paragraph about why each are important.
Short explanation about how to use the book and the labels that are also included for each recipe. Lots of categories to choose from.
Start of a chapter shows a full page color photo, index on the next page along with a brief summary of this section.
Each recipe starts with a title, suitable diet plans: vegan, vege, gluten free, etc
Servings, prep and cook time are included and a brief tip about the recipe.
List of ingredients are listed and there are only 5 of them. There are NO pictures for individual recipes.
Directions are given and it also comes with other tips and how to store.
Nutritional information per serving: calories, protein, total carbs, sugars, fiber, total fat, sat. fat, cholesterol and sodium.
Love that this book has all that information and there are NO pictures.
Found several recipes that have more than 5 ingredients listed but they are usually all the herbs and spices.
I would also substitute a can of tomatoes for fresh ones.
I would also substituent iceberg lettuce for Romaine, just more nutritious according to our nutritionist.
Like how each recipe starts at the top of a new page.
Lots of space around the recipe to write your own notes and there are conversion charts listed at the back of the book.
Index is also included.  Acknowledgements and about the author are also included.
I received this review copy from The Callisto Publisher's Club and this is my honest opinion.
