A cookbook with lots of options but..., Jan 11 2011
By Lenore - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 500 Salads: The Only Salad Compendium You'll Ever Need (500 Series Cookbooks) (Hardcover)
First, let me point out that this is a SMALL cookbook despite the 500 recipes -- it's roughly 6 inches tall by 6 inches wide. While "cute" in size, it's not what I had expected (yes, I should have read the description!).The book gives me a good starting point for deciding what to make for our family meals (such as the lentil salad), but then I must (absolutely MUST) modify. As is, the recipes are a little lack luster in flavor. For example, I've substituted olive oil where the recipe calls for canola oil. Other examples: adding fresh garlic, increasing amount of lemon or apple cider vinegar, etc.
My criticism: while there are 500 recipes in the book, only about 1/4 of them are original or fresh. Let me explain: the book is divided into chapter with each recipe on a page. At the end of the chapter, that same recipe is used as the base and 4 variations are provided. The variations are rather lame and anyone who spends time in the kitchen would be able to think of most of these on his/her own.

Great addition to the 500 recipe series., Mar 21 2010

This review is from: 500 Salads: The Only Salad Compendium You'll Ever Need (500 Series Cookbooks) (Hardcover)
The 500 salads provides 125 recipes for a variety of salads from everyday to exotic variations. Each of the 125 recipes has four minor variations that tweak the item into a different version by adding a new flavor profile. Like all of the books in the series this provides excellent recipes that are customizable so if you are familiar with flavors it Is easy to create your own variation. This book offers everything from side and appetizer salads to full meal salads from a variety of regions around the country with the biggest concentration being Asian. Very well done and for those looking for variety in salad you cannot go wrong.

I want more pizazz, July 30 2010

This review is from: 500 Salads: The Only Salad Compendium You'll Ever Need (500 Series Cookbooks) (Hardcover)
What I notice most about this book is that I don't use it. I have referred to it looking for a salad for a specific occasion or ingredient and I haven't found it as useful as I would like. The book is an unusual size -- approximately 6" by 6". It doesn't fit well on my shelf. This format is logical in that all of the recipes fit onto two pages, so when you open the book you have one recipe in front of you, usually the ingredients and directions on one side and a picture on the other. That part is nice. The way they get 500 recipes in a fairly small book is that there are pages with four or five variations on each page. You are referred back to the basic recipe and told what to add and what to omit to get the new recipe. But what disappointed me the most is that, for the most part, the dressings are fairly simple and standard. I was really looking for dressings that were more interesting, had more punch or had more complexity. Based on this book, I probably won't buy any of the other books in the 500 recipe series. This book might be just the thing for someone else, because it does give you an amazing range of salads.
