Frequently Asked Questions
Delivery & Access
How do I receive the cookbook?
Immediately after your payment goes through, a download link is emailed to the address you used at checkout. The link also appears on your order confirmation page, so you can download straight away without waiting for the email.
What if the email doesn't arrive?
Check your spam or promotions folder first — that's where it lands about nine times out of ten. If it still isn't there after 15 minutes, email support@themediterraneansoul.com with your order number and we'll send it manually.
Is this a physical book?
No. Mediterranean Soul publishes digital cookbooks. Nothing is posted to you, there are no shipping costs, and there's no wait.
Can I download it more than once?
Yes. Your download link stays active, and if it ever expires we'll happily reissue it.
The File
What format is it?
PDF. It opens on any phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop without special software.
Can I read it on a Kindle or e-reader?
You can transfer the PDF to most e-readers, though the layout is designed for screens with a bit more width — a tablet, laptop, or phone gives the best reading experience.
Can I print it?
Yes, print it freely for your own use, whether that's the whole book or a single recipe to stick on the fridge.
What's Inside
How many recipes are there?
120, plus four weeks of meal plans and shopping guidance, a Mediterranean pantry starter guide, and an ingredient swap chart.
Are the recipes really 30 minutes?
Yes — that's the constraint the whole book is built around. Recipes are organised by situation rather than ingredient category, so you'll find chapters like "I'm Exhausted" Dinners, Budget-First Meals, Pantry Dinners, Heart-Healthy Favourites, and Stress-Free Meals for Guests.
Do I need unusual ingredients?
No. The book is deliberately built around affordable staples: olive oil, garlic, lemons, tinned tomatoes, chickpeas, white beans, frozen spinach, grains, oregano, and onions. Anything less common comes with a swap suggestion.
Is it suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. There are no advanced techniques anywhere in the book, and instructions assume no prior experience.
Are the recipes vegetarian?
The book includes a substantial number of vegetarian recipes alongside chicken, fish, and seafood dishes. It isn't a fully vegetarian cookbook.
Does it include nutritional information?
The book focuses on practical cooking rather than calorie counting. It follows the general principles of Mediterranean eating rather than prescribing a diet plan. If you're managing a specific medical condition, please speak with your doctor or a registered dietitian about what's right for you.

Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee — email us within 30 days and we'll refund you in full, no reason needed. Full details are in our Refund Policy.
What currency is the price in?
