Promises more than it delivers - but has strengths

This book begins with descriptions of salad green, lettuces, herbs, spices, some miscellaneous ingredients, equipment, garnishments, oils and vinegars. These section provide a very cursory overview - glitter but little substance.The salad recipes cover a wide variety of salads; chapters on: vegetable and green salads, bean and pulse salads, cheese salads, egg salads, fish and seafood salads, pasta and rice salads, grain salads, meat and poutry salads, waldorf salads and fruit salads. What sets this book apart and makes it a useful addition to any collection is its use of fruits e.g. an avacado and grapefruit salad, a Thai Tom Tom salad with papaya, a fennel and orange salad etc. It's second strength is in the use of Asian ingredients e.g. a Thai water chestnut salad, a Chinese pork salad, or a persimmon salad.The recipes are practical - neither time intensive nor requiring ingredients difficult to obtain. Certainly not the first salad book to own, but one worth including.
