Reviews"It's a one-subject cookbook: plant-based dinner salads only. No appetizers. No desserts. The chapters include classic leafy-green salads, grain salads, pulse salads, salads with seeds, pasta salads, bread salads, roasted and toasted salads and, at the end, toppings, sauces and spreads.
Each recipe is labeled according to its ingredients: black rice, snap peas, pea sprouts, black garlic tofu or dandelion greens, roasted potatoes, romesco. The complexity and sophistication of the salads are immediately apparent; indeed, the photographs show inventive, busy dishes. But the writing is clear, the instructions easy to follow. Don't be intimidated." ~LA TIMES
