Best recipe book I've come across in quite awhile!  The author of Mediterranean Diet: Delicious Vegetarian Sides, Salads, Soups and Chilli for Two Cheryl Antier lives in France. The recipes are authentic Mediterranean dishes that she has prepared in her home for years.She includes great information about the Mediterranean diet or "lifestyle" and the recipes are very interesting and unique.Ms. Antier gives preparation times and notes on nutrition for all the recipes. There are pictures of each recipe as well.  The recipes are easy to read and well formatted.Some of my "got to try" recipes are, Mykonos Pasta Primavera, Lemon Risotto with Fresh Baby Asparagus and the French Onion Soup.  Several of the recipes are for the slow cooker which I really appreciate.In addition to the recipes I enjoyed the story that goes with the French Onion Soup.  Ms. Antier tells about the French wedding she attended shortly after arriving in France and the customs of French weddings.The book is very interesting to read in addition to the wonderful recipes.  I highly recommend the book to everyone.
