A Cooks Salad Garden

More than 80 tempting recipes will inspire cooks to experiment with interesting combinations of ingredients—from the garden and beyond—to create mouth-watering salads. The freshest ingredients make the best salads, and what could be fresher and more convenient than salad greens picked from your own garden?

In The Cook’s Salad Garden Revisited, three of New Zealand’s best-known gardening cooks (who happen to be sisters) show how to achieve a varied, year-round supply of salad vegetables and use them in delicious, healthy recipes. From the familiar lettuce to corn salad and mizuna, detailed instructions and useful tips—informed by many decades of experience—are given on the propagation, cultivation, harvesting and kitchen preparation of a marvellous array of salad vegetables.
