River Cottage Great Salads Hardcover – 23 Jun. 2022

The River Cottage Veg Everyday cookbook is my favourite veggie cookbook, so I was excited to order this book. The book is fine. It's well laid out, offers twists on most, if not all the recipes, for variety. It has a range of salads for all sorts of tastes, it has good photos, easy instructions - there's nothing wrong with it at all.However, for me there are rather too many recipes wth root veg, or winter salads. Quite a lot of the recipes are only attainable to people with their own gardens/allotments avilable to grow veg as much of the veg is simply not available to the average supermarket, or even greengrocer, purchaser. Items like chicory and kohlrabi are simple for someone with a garden to access but not simple for the average cook. I did really like the section at the back on dressings - it's nice to have something other than a French dressing or mayonnaise to dress a salad. And the section on pickles is also a nice addition.Overall, I'd say it's a book for the gardener who likes to cook and is a worthwhile purchase for anyone in that category.

Includes a great guide to what veg is available through the seasons. It shows you what veg you can grow easily at home and even tips of how to grow it. Oh and it includes so many great ideas for salads that you would never think of doing. The potato salad with apple and cheddar is my current favourite but honey glazed belly pork is next on the list to try.

Absolutely love every single page of this book. fab pictures is finished food which helps a lot!! It offers healthy and tasty recipes without preaching about eating healthy and plant based….you can easily replace meat options with fish or other plant.Working my way through it page by page.

Interesting and different salads , ideas to achieve !

A great selection of salads. A picture for every recipe, most of which use everyday and store cupboard ingredients.

Great ideas - lots of easy original recipes. Things I wouldn’t think of myself. This book will get a lot of use!

Absolutely love this. There’s a recipe for everything you have in your fridge, for every mood and budget.

A great book full of salad recipes and ideas, together with tips too. Very attractive to look at, not over the top with strange ingredients either, but good food in different combinations. Very pleased with it indeed.
