With recipes that provide “food for thought,” from breakfast to dessert, as well as snacks, sides, and small plates, you’ll reach for this book again and again—whether you’re cooking a family dinner or a meal for a large gathering. Dishes include Mediterranean Sun Gold Granola, Berry Smart Seeded Dressing Over Greens, Green Falafel Fritters with Red Pepper Sauce, Sizzling Shrimp and Peppers with Cilantro, Moroccan Spiced Hot Chocolate, and more.
You’ll also find tools to make yummy and nutritious meals easier than ever before, including:

Eating a Mediterranean diet is one of the most effective ways to protect and enhance your brain health, halt inflammation, improve symptoms of depression, and help to reduce daily stress. Research shows results in less than two months—but good nutrition only works if you want to eat the food.
That’s where The Smart Mediterranean Diet Cookbook comes in. Serena and Deanna’s smart recipes are layered with enticing Mediterranean flavors and the most potent brain-boosting ingredients. This book solves the dilemma of “what’s for dinner” while enhancing your brain and mood with every dish.

My partner and I have made several recipes from this cookbook and they were all so good! We will definitely be getting a physical copy when this is published!

I really enjoyed reading this cookbook because it takes a different approach to cooking as it focuses on making food that is good for your brain health. The author explains how there is a much lower rate of dementia and Alzheimer's in the Mediterranean region and how their diet may play a very significant factor.. She writes of how college students decreased the anxiety by consuming a Mediterranean diet. The recipes in here are plentiful and definitely different. They incorporate berries, seeds, yogurt, fish, shellfish and much more. She has recipes for throughout the day. I received this copy in the digital form and I much prefer to have my cookbooks in paper form. I will definitely be purchasing this cookbook because if there is something that I can do this easily to help my family's brain health and emotional wellbeing then I defintely want to do it.
I received this ARC from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest opinion. I give it an enthusiastic 5 stars and would definitely want a paper copy in my kitchen too!

I received an ARC of this cookbook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a wonderful cookbook. The pictures were great and the recipes were varied and interesting but still contained ingredients that would be easy to find at the grocery store!

The Smart Mediterranean Diet Cookbook is one that I plan on buying when it's released, despite having an ARC of it.
I've already made a few of the recipes and look forward to many more - the authors have included nutritional information, appetizing recipes and gorgeous photos of the foods that have something that appeals to the pickiest of eaters. (me!)
I look forward to creating recipes that my family will enjoy and that are nourishing and a delight to look at!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in lieu of an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Cookbook is full of gorgeous pictures of food good for both your body and your brain. Bonus points for having so many delicious sounding recipes that had me salivating. I found myself bookmarking almost half of the recipes to start trying in the next few weeks. And the recipes were clearly written with understandable steps easy enough for a novice in the kitchen
