Instant Pot Miracle Mediterranean Diet Cookbook: 100 Simple and Tasty Recipes Inspired by One of the World's Healthiest Diets

I have had my InstaPots for 4 or 5 years now, and have never been so in love as I am since finding Urvashi Pitre’s cookbooks! I have almost all of them, if not all! Reading them is like chatting with a down to earth friend who makes cooking seem and feel easy!This cookbook starts with an bit about her journey with this dietary style, followed by an intro into using an InstaPot along with frequently asked questions. She has really helped me move our families diet closer to cleaner eating than we’ve managed thus far. Her cookbooks are like taking a mini cooking course by a good friend! I have never produced so many well flavored and enjoyable recipes from one book. Move over other cookbooks here comes Urshi Pitre!I’ve tried more than a dozen Recipes and absolutely every recipe I’ve tried has been a homerun! I have raved so much to my two sisters that each of them have purchased one or more themselves and now we report to each other each time we try a recipe. So fun! And honestly, no joke, there has not been a recipe yet that we haven’t loved - not just liked, but loved!Several other features of these cookbooks I like are: nutritional counts per serving for every recipe; great pictures; typical/common ingredients with easy to follow instructions; and incredible flavor combos! One of my most favorite parts is an index near the back of each book that lists every recipe and how it conforms or doesn’t conform to various dietary needs. This has become invaluable to me as recently I have been placed on multiple dietary restrictions. But beyond that, Urvashi has brought joy back to being able to eat the same things with my family without anyone feeling like they are missing out on something! I never realized how disconnecting it is for persons to have to eat differently at a shared meal. It zapped the joy of the meal and the sense of being connected to one another. Urvashi’s cookbooks have returned that joy with this index and these amazing recipes!So, if you have an InstaPot or are giving an InstaPot as a gift including one or all of Urvashi’s cookbooks would bring the gift to an entirely new level! I’m thinking regular gift giving occasions but also baby showers (new moms need to eat well, with simplicity to the making could even find time to nurse, feed or change diapers while the pot works its magic). Wedding gift/showers, new home owners, first time on their own children, and so on.

Book was exactly as described. Cant wait to try out the recipes.

This is the third cookbook I've bought by this author. Everything I've made from them has turned out well. Great photos, well laid out using generous sizes of type (unlike too many others). A good purchase.

I will freely admit to being biased in this review of my wife’s book. But I wanted to share the table of contents, and posting a review is the only way to do it.But I can also share some of the behind the scenes process that Urvashi always follows.Each recipe is meticulously tested. Some of the recipes, she’ll make over and over again until she has eliminated every extra step.The focaccia she made four times until she was sure the instructions were crystal clear. The pita bread she made five times because she wanted to eliminate all extra steps that others instructed in their recipes. Her followers use the #RuthlessEfficiency for her, and it is well warranted. Every recipe just works, exactly as written.She was trained as a scientist, and she brings that training to her recipe, creation and testing.But she is also an ardent foodie. About 4-5 of us taste every recipe. “Good” is not good enough. She reworks it until we say it’s great or excellent. Only then does it go into her cookbooks.She researched the principles of the Mediterranean diet meticulously, which in her case means reading scientific journal articles. This is how she is able to give you recipes that are not from the Mediterranean REGION, but nevertheless follow the documented and researched principles of the Mediterranean DIET.I’m biased. But I’m also honest.

The amazing thing about Urvashi’s cookbooks is that you KNOW every recipe will work! She has put in the time to create, test, refine and test again and again every recipe to make sure they work and give the best results that anyone can follow. She’s a detail oriented scientist that found herself in the kitchen and applied her skills there. But the magic that happens results in authentic flavors in the end product with the simplest way of getting there! These are just really good recipes, whether you are trying to follow particular dietary guidelines, like a Mediterranean diet (and she clearly covers the what, why and how of both a Mediterranean diet and using an Instant Pot for cooking) or you are just looking for flavorful food that can be counted on, you can Trust Urvashi! I’ve been cooking with Urvashi for years now, starting with my quest to make Butter Chicken at home, which led to my first Instant Pot purchase, and purchasing the first of her cookbooks. This latest book fits very well in expanding my rotation of delicious, reliable meals that, I must say, gets me raves from my formerly bland eating hubby! Thanks, Urvashi, for another win in the kitchen!

I purchased this book to learn how to use my insta pot with the Mediterranean diet… i have to say this book provides great detail with explaining the use and settings of the insta pot and has some really tasty recipes with simple ingredients and easy step by step directions! Well worth the read and purchase!

Love, love, love this book! The recipes are simple to understand, make up beautifully, and are full of flavor. Many fresh ingredients to make healthy, satisfying meals in the Instant Pot. There are lots of serving suggestions, as well as recipes for things like Naan bread (hubby's fav) that compliment the many meals in her book. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience some wonderful Mediterranean cooking using their Instant Pot. I often make half of a recipe when cooking just for the two of us if I don't want leftovers.

Nice variety of recipes, and well laid out.

She is certainly addictive, all I do now is eat from her books . I bought myself an air fryer because she had books on them. Not in this book but I love her paprika fish soup, her butter curry chicken is to die for . Got all her books now . Been cooking new potatoes in cumin corriander ect just lush . Oh that might not be in this book . Just love it all , she is amazing. Restaurant quality food in my home with some of her recipes Yum .

I haven’t made anything from here that wasn’t amazing! The flavours are unreal My family loved it so much I had to buy my daughter and son-in-law a copy of their own. Everything is really easy to make too which is great after a long shift at work easy and fast
