Book Review: 7-Ingredient Mediterranean: 100+ Simple, Vibrant Recipes by Cider Mill Press 🧑‍🍳📚

Rating: 3.5 Stars

As someone who’s absolutely crazy about Mediterranean food, this cookbook really caught my eye—starting with its gorgeous cover that just screams sunshine and fresh flavors. 🌞🍋

7-Ingredient Mediterranean is all about keeping things simple but bursting with flavor, which is exactly what I look for in a cookbook. The concept is super appealing: over 100 recipes that use only seven ingredients each, making it easy to whip up meals without a long grocery list or complicated steps. 🥗🛒

The book takes you on a culinary trip from Italy’s coastlines to Morocco’s spice markets, showcasing dishes that highlight fresh produce, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean proteins. Whether you’re craving a zesty salad, a comforting pasta, seafood, or vegetarian fare, there’s something here that feels both wholesome and satisfying. The recipes are perfect for busy weeknights when you want something nutritious but don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen. 🍝🌿🐟

What I really appreciate is how the simplicity doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Each recipe manages to pack in bold, authentic Mediterranean vibes with minimal fuss—exactly what I want when I’m cooking after a long day. Plus, the focus on heart-healthy ingredients makes it a solid choice if you’re aiming for balanced eating without feeling like you’re missing out. ❤️🥑

That said, I did wish there were more photos of the finished dishes. While the photography included is beautiful and does a nice job of highlighting some recipes, I find that cookbooks really come alive when you can see the end result of every dish. It helps inspire and guide you as you cook. 📸🤔

Overall, 7-Ingredient Mediterranean is a vibrant and practical addition to any kitchen, especially for those who love Mediterranean flavors but want to keep things straightforward. It’s definitely earned a solid 3.5 stars from me!
