An excellent introduction and reference book for growing salad plants. The usual supects are covered as well as some rather more obscure ones. Creatively illustrated with marvelous photography, Larkcom firstly arranges chapters of salad plants such as stems and stalks, fruiting vegetables etc., as you would expect, but also flowers, herbs and wild plants. She then turns her attention to cultivation and finally ends with a few recipes. Anyone interested in starting a small kitchen garden, allotment or potager will find this invaluable and desperately inspiring. Joy Larkcom has been growing food since the seventies and her knowlege and clear style are inspiring.

Incredibly easy, dashing one-dish lunch or dinner-party fare. Have you noticed that guests just don't want to eat piles of stodge anymore? Peter Gordon's Salads are utterly delicious but can be deceptively presented as healthy and even as GI Diet-friendly. Thing is, you can tell he's a chef; basically the setup he imagines is a kind of mise, where you prepare each ingredient separately and then assemble. This can seem like a lot of faff after work, by the time you've toasted this and roasted and peeled that. Some of the recipes have one ingredient too many. But this is a fine book for entertaining; I've now made half a dozen of his salads for dinner or lunch parties and have been complimented every time.

I thought this book was really well priced and great value for money. Covering 200 recipes, it has some excellent ideas for both summer AND winter. It's easy to leaf through the pages and get some good ideas, even if you don't follow the recipes per se. Although a bit overwhelming as there are no specific sections for meats vs vegetarian salads, and although the beautiful pictures do not immediately follow respective recipes, it is a great book when you are first starting out in salad preparation and need to get lots of ideas.

I bought this book just by chance: since like any worker in England I mostly feed on sandwiches and salads for lunch - and I wanted something new and tasty but essentially home made.
Well this book is the answer: you can recreate the gorgeous Pret recipes at home for you own lunch and at little expense ...
It is small and compact with no fancy pictures but believe me, what a feast!
