Cheap but good
How many good recipes does it take to make a book worthwhile? This small book has several gems which we've enjoyed.Among them: Smoked Trout and Avocado Crouton Salad (page 24), Prosciutto, Pear and Parmesan Salad (page 36). Simple, straight forward instructions, accessible ingredients and nice illustrations.

Out of the Ordinary
Have had this book on my cookbook shelf for some time.Recently,picked this book up again and knew instantly it could help us prepare (and eat!) healthier meals.Lots of variety in preparing simple GREEN dishes.The salads are beautiful (photography is good!) and foods taste even better than they look.For novice cooks, be sure to have the ingredients on hand.For the more advanced, you can improvise with various greens, dressings, etc. and not miss anything in flavor or appearance.

Some Great Gems hidden among average
Don't even remember how or when we acquired this, but one particular recipe has been a knockout that we prepare and serve often:Chicken, Avocado and Mango Salad with creamy curry and macadamia dressing.

Few other spectaculars, and the rest are just so-so. ... Read more

Product Description
This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for edible mixtures of vegetable cooking and salad oil that have been fully refined and deodorized at the same establishment across the states and cities of the United States. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 9,500 cities in the United States. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's state and of the United States is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state and city, latent demand estimates are created for edible mixtures of vegetable cooking and salad oil that have been fully refined and deodorized at the same establishment. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

Best little book of dressings ever
A must buy.
Great variations, wonderful flavors and ideas.
I got my own as a gift, and now have bought 2 to give away.The only change I make to the recipes is to cut the oil way down, to about 1/4 of what they list.All the recipes still turn out great.

Every recipe is a winner!
I have a cookbook library numbering in the 100's and this little book is one of the best! I have tried most of the recipes and all so far have been excellent. The recipes are simple and often use ingredients usually on hand, which allows for last minute home-made.The yields are also a nice proportion since fresh does not keep as long as bottled.I have given this cookbook as a gift because I like it so much. ...

Product Description
Welcome to the world of the well-developed salad, where ingredients like black beans, grilled chicken, and shrimp are completely at home. Where roasted pears and other fruits become sweet companions to pleasingly bitter greens. Where toasted nuts or lemon-flavored bread crumbs add an unexpected crunch. Intrepid pioneers Chris Schlesinger and John "Doc" Willoughby are geniuses of juxtaposition who redefine the salad with their own delicious spin. Amazon.com Review
If you have a thing for lettuce, a craving for greens, agarden begging to be eaten, or just a plain and simple passion forsalads, Lettuce in Your Kitchen is the book for you. CoauthorsChris Schlesinger and John "Doc" Willoughby have written what might bethe definitive volume on salads. Everything from the history ofgreens--they appear in Egyptian tomb drawings that are at least 4,500years old--to a myriad of recipes is included. And these aren'ticeberg-lettuce salads smothered in Thousand Island dressing, either.The authors believe in the full-meal deal in which salads can beappetizer, entree, or even dessert.

How about a Watercress andGrilled Chicken Salad with Mangoes and Grapes livened up with acurry-lime vinaigrette? Chris and Doc are masters of juxtaposition andtend to be more adventurous than classicists like Alice Waters. Trythe Bitter Greens with Fiery Seared Squid, or Escarole with Papayasand Fried Plantains for a culinary experience not soon to beforgotten. Their approach isn't always as dramatic. There is anexcellent chapter on simple salads, and gardeners looking for newideas in late summer will appreciate the chapter on tomatoes. The mostrefreshing declaration the authors make is that there are no hard andfast rules in making salads. They openly encourage experimentation andsubstitution from the outset, and 100 different dressing recipesprovide an exponential level of combinations. The ingredients guidereferences greens and other major ingredients, and shows what can besubstituted in those desperate moments when arugula just can't befound. This is the third book from Chris and Doc. Their earlier works,Big Flavors of the HotSun and TheThrill of the Grill were both critically and popularlyacclaimed, and Lettuce in Your Kitchen continues theirtradition of bold, innovative cookbooks. --Mark O. Howerton ... Read more

Great book of recipes on various salads-delicious hot weather dishes!
I haven't tried all the recipes in this book but the ones I've done have been very well received, particularly the main-course salads in hot summer weather. Clearly written recipes, very tasty- enough that I can overlook the,umm, slightly corny name of the book

Worth buying a second time!
I bought this book to replace a copy that mysteriously disappeared (someone obviously liked it too much!). The recipes truly are flavorful and unexpected and have helped me lose weight, end salad-boredom, tempt people who "never" eat salad, and earn a reputation as a super salad chef. Whether you need a refreshing main course for a hot summer day, or just some extra veggies in your diet, this book offers more ideas than you can imagine!

Not the usual suspects: these are good recipes!
The authors of Lettuce in Your Kitchen are far better known for their grilling cookbooks than for the vegetable plate. That's a darned shame, because this cookbook is an excellent resource for those of us who want to add something more to the meal than a standard greens-and-vinegarette.

Let me point out one omission that may make a difference to you: to Schlesinger and Willoughby, a salad encompasses some sort of greens, even if it's only as a garnish. As a result, you won't find a whole chapter of pasta salads or a dozen potato salads. That's fine with me, but you should be clear about what to expect.

What you SHOULD expect are clearly written recipes for salads that you probably wouldn't have invented by yourself. The book is organized by simple salads; salads for the perfect tomato; vegetable salads; salads with meat and fish; main course salads; salads with exotic flavors; fancy salads; and salads for a crowd. It's prefaced by an extrememly useful section in which the various greens are identified (with line drawings -- not quite as useful as a photo but it works), and categories that help you discover that, should your market be out of spinach, you can use baby chard or baby beet greens instead. The book has only a few photos, but they're enough for inspiration.

But what about their recipes? I've tried two with excellent success, and I have a list of additional salads to try. My "starter salad" for Thanksgiving was watercress salad with plums and scallions and a hoisin-based dressing. (Most of the dressings are more than you need, and the authors suggest that, say, the hoisin dressing is a good dip for veggies or with roast chicken.) Every plate was cleaned off, even the token non-foodie (he was instructed that he could NOT bring his own Budweiser to the meal). I also truly enjoyed the salad of Boston lettuce, mango, cucumber and avocado, served with a creamy orange-spice dressing. It was no harder to put toghether than the mundane green salad you'd bring to a buffet, and far more tasty!

Naturally, you can get less exotic (escarole with bacon, eggs, and potatoes) or far more so (arugula with lobster and pancetta with a smooth avocado dressing).

But they all have one thing in common: they're VERY easy to put together. And, if you buy the ingredients in season and avoid the handful of expensive items (Mesclun with grilled fois gras, pears, and maui onion with port wine dressing?), it'll be a snap to pull together a meaningful meal with very little effort.

I'm sold on this book. I think you'll like it, too.

The Only Salad Cookbook Worth Owning
I bought this book in hopes of having a real tool for eating better. So many cookbooks have a few ho-hum salad recipes here and there, and some of the other salad cookbooks I've seen have recipes that are just too elaborate for everyday cooking. This book has a broad range of interesting and tasty salads that are easy to make. You will never get bored, and your friends and guests won't either. The dressing part of each recipe makes a large amount so that you can have extra to use later (I always make half of the dressing recipe, toss the salad with just a few tablespoons, and still have a lot left over). So if you can only muster the energy to throw some lettuce in a bowl some night, you will have great leftover dressing to toss it with. Since I've been using this book, I have stopped buying bottled dressing and have even started growing my own salad greens.

It helps me eat my veggies!
Inspiring even if you don't follow the recipes.I would recommend halving most of the recipes in the book as the servings seem large to me.

Easy Read Edition is not complete book
I'm sure the cookbook is lovely, but I ordered the Easy Read edition which is the only one available from Amazon directly, and was astounded to recieve a book which started in the middle of a recipe and contained only what appeared to be 1/4th of the complete text of the book.The Easy Read edition is NOT a larger print of the same text, but rather the last three months of the text printed large and formatted poorly at best.I have returned the book, but am writing to keep others from making the same ordering mistake.

For Cooking AND Reading
This is one of those books that you can enjoy reading even if you don't own a kitchen.The author's voice is soothing and the rhythms of monastery life echo throughout the recipes.

Twelve Months of Monastery Salads
This book is one of a series. The recipes are simple, easy to follow,and by no means austere. Using seasonal ingredients, the results are delicious and imaginative salads. I have given several copies as gifts.

Oh, how I love this cookbook!For this author, a salad is far more than just the green salad we USAnians are used to.

Wonderful bean dishes, great cooked vegetables, delicious root vegetables, fruit mixtures, oh my, and lovely, lovely spices.

If all my cookbooks were to be taken away and I could keep only one, this would be it.
