I prefer to have more pictures in my cookbooks, showing the finished dishes. For something to be appealing, you need to have a view of the finished product. I also like to get an idea of how something is supposed to look when it's done. The concept of the book was great as I love to utilize a slow cooker, however this book just needed a little more pizazz. ( )

This is a delightful cookbook with great recipes that taste good too. Nice variety of dishes for slow cookers, which are very useful for homemade Mediterranean food. Healthy, easy, what more can the happy eater wish for? Recommend for the cook looking for simple homey food without a ton of work. ( )

An interesting cookbook, especially for those who like Mediterranean flavors and want to make use of slow cookers.

Many of us have come to enjoy Mediterranean style foods. They offer delightful and often new tastes to our diets and they tend to be healthy for us. But often cooking them involves long hours few of us can afford to spend in the kitchen. This cookbook provides the flavors we love with the advantages of a slow cooker.

For those who have not used a slow cooker, the book provides basic information on using the appliance and types for making the most of what it can do. Some experienced cooks may prefer their own practices to those suggested. Advice for how to adapt regular recipes to slow cookers.

A variety of recipes are suggested, not only for the stews and soups that we associate with slow cookers but also for roasting and baking. Discussion of Mediterranean flavors provides useful lists of spices arranged by national cultures.

I read this book on my NOOK courtesy of Library Thing Early Reviewers. I am grateful for receiving it. I found following a recipe on an ebook very difficult.

I had high hopes that I would dust off my slow cooker and try a bunch of recipes with this cookbook, and I did try a couple. They were tasty and good recipes, but I guess I'm not the type of cook who can plan a meal that far in advance (I am of the prep and cook in 30 minutes on the weekdays and go out to eat on the weekends kind of person). So I did enjoy the recipes I tried, but I have to recognize that slow cooker recipes aren't my forte. ( )

Unfortunately, as is typically the case, this cookbook is not very friendly for those us with food allergies and restrictions. It's also not something that is particularly budget friendly or easy enough to work with for those of us who are just learning how to cook. Skimming through, you can pick out a handful of recipes under whatever food restrictions you have in your life, but as a whole, this book doesn't help someone like me much. I hope other readers got more out of reading this than I did. It's a shame, too, I was really excited about the prospect of slow-cooked Greek food. ( )
