salad love -- a book review

David Bez's Salad Love:  260 Crunchy, Savory, and Filling Meals You Can Make Every Day is a gorgeous book that brings together recipes for salads for every season with beautiful photos of those recipes.  I've a verbal learner, but the photos in this cookbook enrich the recipes.

What's more, Salad Love has all sorts of useful information and options.  There are vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, and omnivore salads, as well as alternatives (turning an omnivore salad to a vegetarian one) with each salad.  Those alternatives provide immediate access to these salad recipes, without flipping from section to section.  Additionally, the substitutes provide information of a variety of dressings -- including all different sauces, pesto, creamy, and olive based dressings.  The 260 diverse recipes here are for people who don't generally enjoy the usual salads or don't cook much. 

This book is not, as it touts from the beginning, "a cook book".  Any seasoned cook would most likely find these salads too simple.  But that's precisely what makes this this book even more accessible.  Because I am not a cook.

This is a book for every kitchen.
