I've been trying to incorporate more Mediterranean focused meals into our weekly rotation. I thought the recipes were easy to follow and can easily work into the weekly rotation. However, I wish there were more photos and more vegetarian options. Overall, thought the cookbook was okay.

I really liked this cookbook and I did end up buying a copy since I prefer my cookbooks to be in physical copies.

Recipes are easy to follow and the ones I have tried are so very yummy.

I do recommend.

There's some great and really easy recipes in here. I especially enjoyed the Artichoke Moussaka, the Greek meatballs and roast potatoes, and the Spanish style chick peas with cod. I'm really looking forward to trying out alot more of these tasty recipes. The only thing is that I would have like more food pics next to some of the recipes.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Know what I just said about needing a bit more salesmanship? The Everything One Pot Mediterranean Cookbook is just recipe after recipe, often replicating ideas I already know. Tray bake gyro meat? Well, I am interesting. But I have a lot of ways to make gyros. There’s times when I want to hiss about sheer redundancy – is a tray of roast potatoes really one pot given I’ll be finding something else to eat with it? I am probably being unfair to the recipes in this book, but it would have been fairer to give us less recipes and more enticing pictures of them.

With busy kids, I love a one pot meal. Especially one with a Mediterranean diet twist. The recipes are well written and easy to follow. Barely any photos which to me is one of the best things about a cookbook.

I love one pot meals for the ease of preparation and clean up. This cookbook meets that with some Mediterranean flair. I do feel that the recipes lean more toward Mediterranean inspiration than authentic food. That is not necessarily a bad thing just an observation.

Over the last several years, Mediterranean food has steadily become a favorite for my husband and I. We’ve tried to incorporate more and more Mediterranean recipes into our meal routine. The Everything One Pot Mediterranean Cookbook was filled with amazing Mediterranean recipes that we are eager to add into our dinner rotation, especially considering the added bonus of using one pot per recipe! Gotta love when good food can be made with little mess!

I am looking forward to using the recipes in this book. Most look like something I would make. Hopefully my parents enjoy them as well as I'm trying to get them to eat healthier.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Not enough photos.

I do not understand the lack of photos in cookbooks.
This book is written with the understanding that its readers know little about mediterranean cooking, why would pictures not be included?

I deducted two stars for the lack of pictures, and the rather large amount of meat recipes (this lifestyle is known for its lack of meat).

THE EVERYTHING ONE POT MEDITERRANEAN COOKBOOK by Peter Minaki offers "200 Fresh and Simple Recipes That Come Together in One Pot." That is a style of cooking that I appreciate and there are many, many great choices here: Risotto with Shrimp, Mushrooms, and Asparagus; Cod with Raisins; Skillet Lasagna; even making Sun-Dried Tomatoes yourself. Minaki blogs about "Greek food and more" and embraces Greek (e.g., Scallops Saganaki) and other cuisines in his latest book with recipes like Moroccan-Style Chicken with Green Olives and Lemon or Spanish-Style Chickpeas with Cod. THE EVERYTHING ONE POT MEDITERRANEAN COOKBOOK contains sparsely illustrated sections for skillet dishes, sheet pans, Dutch ovens, Slow Cookers, Instant Pot and casseroles. Yummy! Nutritional information is provided and readers will have a hard time deciding what to try first.

The Mediterranean diet has been especially popular for the last few years due to the fact that it is touted as extra healthy. Peter Minaki, a veteran cookbook author, has taken his expertise in Mediterranean cooking to a higher level by including recipes that are not only mostly healthy, but also can be made in one pot in his cookbook, The Everything One Pot Mediterranean Cookbook: 200 Fresh and Simple Recipes That Come Together in One Pot
This cookbook proves that even busy cooks who don’t want to prepare time consuming meals can prepare mouthwatering food in just one pot.

According to the author, “There are regional differences in what constitutes the Mediterranean diet, but all share an essential common trait: a focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and fish.” What more could anyone want? The recipes included in this cookbook follow these guidelines, and are gathered from all over the Mediterranean. They are easy-to-follow and are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions. Most are fairly easy, so they can be successfully prepared by cooks who are both advanced and beginners,

The book includes an entire section with vegetarian main dishes, and even non-vegetarians will be tempted. However, the chapter that includes Beef, Pork, and Lamb has so many good recipes, that carnivores will have trouble deciding what to make next and will skip the vegetarian choices altogether. Both the Poultry and the fish and seafood chapters are equally appealing, and the queue for trying new dishes from these is getting longer. The chapter on sauces is varied and from numerous countries. And for those who like dessert, there are several good choices.

It is unfortunate that only some of the recipes are pictured; those photographs included are excellent. If it weren’t for the lack of photos, this would be the perfect cookbook. Albeit the lack of photographs, this is truly an excellent Mediterranean cookbooks.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

This looked like a decent cookbook but it did not have many recipes that I would use. It seemed like there was a lot of seafood and meat and not a lot of plant based options. Unfortunately, I don’t this is one that I would add to my collection.

When I saw The Everything One Pot Mediterrean Cookbook by Peter Minaki, I knew it was going to be great! I had been following Peter’s blog for years and had already tried many of his recipes! As I expected, it did not disappoint!

The book begins with an intro to Mediterranean cooking and gives tips for stocking your pantry and kitchen.

Then it dives right in with skillet dinners. I bookmarked so many to try! Fettucine with Mushroom Bolognese, Skillet Chicken Parmesan, Baked Sausages and Peppers, and Pasta Shells with Sausage, Arugula, and Cream Sauce are at the top of my list!

Next up are sheet pan and roasting pan dinners - some of my favorite ways to make an easy dinner! I really want to try them all from the Sheet Pan Greek-Style Pork Tenderloin with New Potatoes to the Greek Meatballs with Roast Potatoes.

The fourth chapter Dutch Oven and Stockpot Dishes again is loaded with amazing recipes to try! Parchment Salmon, Greek Roast Chicken and Rice, Lemon Garlic Green Beans, and Moroccan-Style Chicken with Green Olives and Lemon.

I was excited to see chapters with slow cooker recipes and pressure cooker (Instant Pot) recipes! I love using my Instant Pot for soups and Greek White Bean Soup and Greek-Style Black-Eyed Pea Soup are both on my list!

Chapter 7 covers baking dishes and casserole dishes. Who doesn’t love a good casserole? I can wait to make Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Feta and Spinach, Baked Whiting with Potato Gratin, and Pasta Shells with Roasted Red Peppers and Feta.

The book concludes with some simple desserts like an Apple Tart and a classic Orange Cake.

Recipes I’ve tried and loved: Greek-Roasted Potatoes, Chicken and Orzo Soup, and the Slow Cooker Pasta Fagioli.

Wow! So many recipes! I wish there were more photos, but with this many recipes, the book would just become too large.

Quite well written cookbook which is a great resource for those who would like to begin cooking the Mediterranean diet. What I found particularly useful was the way the book was organized by cooking instrument (e.g. skillet, slow cooker, instant pot etc) and each recipe included helpful notes and detailed nutrition info. Highly recommended.

I just got a Dutch oven an was looking for recipes for it! I have always heard that Mediterranean foods are great for a healthy diet, so reading this cookbook was a double wammy. The layout and the amount of information is great! The recipe images are mouth watering. A lot of the recipes are very straightforward and can be made in a reasonable amount of time. I love tortellini soup, which I am excited to make. Braise meats are also included so I can easily make with a dutch oven. There is also a section for sweets that is an added bonus! I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very well written cookbook. I found the layout to flow well and the recipes were easy to understand and follow along to. I look forward to trying some of them out for my family.

I have to hand it to Peter Minaki: this was a mammoth undertaking on his part: you will find tons of Mediterranean recipes that are intelligently organized and time-saving.

The recipes are prepared in one pot, skillet, slow cooker, baking sheet, casserole dish, etc .... exactly as the title of the book leads you to believe!

These recipes are "accessible": most of the recipes sound easy, while some of them have a long list of ingredients - but not too many of those ingredients are something you wouldn't find at your local grocer.

I checked out Minaki's Caldo Verde recipe and loved the fact that he pointed out the major differences between Portuguese and Spanish Chourico. (The taste of this soup will definitely be different if you use the latter, I agree!) Caldo Verde recipes vary from island to island in the Azores, and from region to region on continental Portugal. For example, my mother never used chicken stock - as was used in Minaki's recipe. My mother tossed the chourico into the boiling water along with the potatoes for a bit, just to add some flavour. Lots of salt, onions, olive oil and garlic gave this hearty soup plenty of flavour. (Mind you, I can throw no stones here because I, too, have resorted to adding chicken broth to the recipes for some of my parents' island rice dishes.)

And those pictures! Every recipe sounds and looks mouth-watering! Here is a sampling from each of the chapters:

In the Skillet chapter I ticked off: Skillet Fettucine Alfredo; the Seared Scallops with Green Peas and the Pancetta: Skillet Lasagna...

In the Sheet and Roasting Pan chapter, I voted for the Baked Zucchini Patties, Baked Keftedes and Greek Meatballs with Roast Potatoes.

In the Dutch Oven and Stockpot chapter, I salivated over the Roast Grouper and Vegetables in Parchment Packets, the Fassolakia Ladera (Braised Green Beans with Potatoes and Tomatoes.), the Seafood and Cilantro Soup, the Moroccan-Style Chicken with Green Olives and Lemon, and the Greek Roast Chicken and Rice.

You have chapters devoted to Slow Cooker dishes, along with dishes for Pressure Cooker die-hard lovers and Instant Pot fanatics. The good old "Baking and Casserole" dishes have their own chapter, too.

And all's well that ends well with a Simple Desserts chapter: I could really go for the Byzantine Fruit Medley, the Tahini and Honey Ice Cream, the No-Chum Ice Cream with Turkish Delight, the Fig Compote with Star Anise, some Cantaloupe Granita, Stuffed Figs, and Poached Pears. Yum!

This was a highly instructive and regionally comprehensive cookbook. Highly recommended and I can't wait to try out so many of these dishes! My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this cookbook in exchange for an honest review.

The Everything One Pot Mediterranean Cookbook by Peter Minaki is a beautiful cookbook. I like the layout, except for one thing: the recipe shortcut contents are not at the beginning of the book, they are at the beginning of each chapter. The nutritional information for each recipe is great. I cooked the Sheet Pan Chicken Gyros and they were delicious. I cannot wait to cook through all of the wonderful recipes.

This is a great cookbook. I found a lot of recipes in here that I want to make and the pictures were great!

This well written book puts the Mediterranean Diet into one pot meals that can improve health; from avoiding diabetes and high cholesterol to adding more plant based foods into our diet. Recommended
