Very Good Salads: Middle Eastern Salads and Plates for Sharing - Hardcover

by Shuki Rosenboim (Author), Louisa Allan (Author)

Very Good Salads is a seasonal cookbook filled with delicious salads, vegetable dishes, and dips to enjoy all year round.

Very Good Salads is filled with more than fifty Middle Eastern and Mediterranean-inspired recipes that showcase the best of the season's produce.

From Shuki Rosenboim and Louisa Allan, the team behind cult-favorite restaurant Very Good Falafel in Melbourne, Australia, this cookbook includes veggie-filled plates, salads, dips, pita, and pickles, alongside their beloved falafel recipe.

Each dish makes use of the whole vegetable, with classic and less-expected pairings such as watermelon salad with za'atar, radish, and fried pita; or roasted leek with pomegranate, walnuts, mint, and lemon zest; as well as larger offerings such as sweet potato and harissa gratin and stuffed tomatoes with saffron, rice, and mint. In addition, the book shares recipes for traditional dips and a flawless pita bread recipe to stuff or serve alongside salads and share plates. It's simple, classic fare but food that has earned Shuki and Louisa a place in Melbourne restaurant royalty.

This beautiful cookbook is the perfect gift for salad fiends, vegetable lovers, wholefood cooks, and those looking for new and creative ways to enjoy the best seasonal produce.
