We
use our slow cooker – a lot! So, I was really excited about cooking
Mediterranean dishes in this convenient manner. I like the way the
author in the introductory chapter lists the types of foods we should
eat more of, some of, less of, and none of. And who knew that the
Mediterranean diet had its own food pyramid! The soups and vegetable
dishes are definitely going to be the first chapters I will try out,
especially the baba ghanoush and the cream of zucchini soup. I was a
little surprised to see regular sugar, all-purpose flour and regular
pasta in some of the ingredient lists as added sugar and refined
grains are in the eat none of category. Although I must say that in
talking about sugar, most of the desserts use coconut palm sugar
instead of regular sugar. As in previous cookbook reviews, I wish the
recipes included pictures because, as we all know, some things coming
our of a slow cooker look more appetizing than others. Overall the
cookbook is well organized, and most of the recipes sound appealing
with ingredients that are readily available. The prep times appear to
be a bit optimistic, but maybe I'm just a slow cook. I am excited to
try lots of these recipes, and am grateful to Rockridge Press for
providing me with a copy of this cookbook in exchange for my honest
opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and
received no monetary compensation.
