review 1: This book is paperback with "only" 100 recipes and much smaller than her previous books. Nonetheless, it's very well presented and has plenty of professional looking pictures.She starts with recipes for dressings that include creamy ones as well as vinaigrettes. She follows with recipes of toppings that includes nuts, croutons, as tofu, and a couple of "bacon" topping recipes using tempeh and coconut.She offers up a couple of side salads, but the bulk of the books are salads that can be eaten as a meal. The salad recipes include plenty of veggies, as well as fruit, noodles, potatoes, protein like tofu, seitan and tempeh and they look mouth watering. Ms. Hope Romero is an amazing cookbook writer and I don't think this book will disappoint her fans or people new to vegan coo... moreking. The index looks adequate, but I've yet to use it.Five stars from me.
review 2: This book is ingenious, why? Because we need more books out there that help us stay away from the boring mundane salads that have perpetuated tables and menus for years. Terry has taken things like Brussels Sprouts and have made them actually seem tasty! Did you know that you can have a Vegan BLT and not feel like you are missing something? These salads are so filling and so creative that you’ll have your friends asking for recipes. Each of these recipes leaves YOU in control of your meals. You make the dressing, you prepare your salads, and you have options. We no longer need to rely on a Caesar salad as a ‘different’ option. We can have a salad that is just as good as a pizza, but is vegan and not as fattening. And forget thinking about going to Wendy’s for a Strawberry Fields salad, this book has a salad called ‘Strawberry Spinach Salad with Orange Poppy Seed Dressing’ that sounds and looks much more appetizing (I should know, I work at Wendy’s and make the Strawberry Fields salads). There are salads that utilize blueberries, tempeh, lemongrass, lentils, corn, Kale, and tofu, as well as apples. This book is broken up into sections based on seasons, as well as a section for dressings you can make, and also a small dessert section (which are still in salad form).I normally would not spend my money on a book that is less than 200 pages, but I recommend this book to everyone. If you love salads as much as I do, and are looking to step away from the typical Iceburg Lettuce and Ranch salads, you need this book. You don’t realize what can constitute a salad until you broaden your horizons! less
