Good book, good recipes, easy to find on saleFeb 07, 2010
By lovemybaby
I found this book a great change of pace with salads. I love this series of books, so it's a 4 star for me. I like of course the layout, and there is a picture with every recipe.
The salads, I have tried many of them. There are a couple of just GREAT salads. Several good salads, and yes a couple of terrible salads. Because there were 2 salads I really hated, I did not give it 5 stars.
Oh, this book is pretty easy to find on sale, depending on where you look. I got mine for $6.00 and that's a good deal.
The recipes are moderately easy to follow. I found some of the instructions a little hard to understand. For instance, it has a side note on how to make your own candied nuts. It sure sounded easy - but I still don't know what I did wrong.
I find that most of the combination's of food complement each other, and the prep is about what they say it should be for time.
There were a couple of salad dressings that it used several times, with just varying 1 ingredient, and thought that was pretty genius as it's a basic, quick, fresh option regardless of using the actual full salad recipe.
 Great cookbookMay 18, 2011

I have tried at least half of the recipes in the cookbook so far and they have all met or exceeded my expectations. The chicken & orzo salad recipes has been a party favorite several times with rave reviews. The time lay-out of the book is nice, and, for me, fairly accurate. I find the recipes easy to follow and easy to cook from. Highly recommend this cookbook!
Very Good Salad BookAug 11, 2010

"avid reader"
Williams-Sonoma has a lot of good cookbooks and this one is a fine one too. If you don't like one or more of the salads as with any other recipe, you can always switch it up to your own liking...you don't always have to follow the recipe to the "T". I found many that I liked a few I didn't like but changed them to the way I do like them. Salads are fun to make, so is being healthy.
great idea for a cook bookMay 18, 2009

I really enjoy this book. The photos are wonderfully colorful and descriptive of each and every salad and the recipes are fairly easy and delicious. I recommend.

 DisappointedFeb 17, 2010
By D. Neely
I was very disappointed with this book. I was going to give it as a shower gift with a lovely salad bowl etc, but it is so bad that I am shelving it! There are only a few recipes that I might use. It is not very creative at all. I guess that is why WS has come out with a newer salad book.
