Vegetable & Salad Cooking Box

Product Description These two classic books offer a complete guide to making salads and cooking with vegetables, in one gift slipcase. The Salad Book shows there is much more to a salad than a handful of lettuce leaves and a few tomatoes. There is a salad for every season and every occasion, from a simple Carrot and Orange Salad to the extravagant San Francisco Salad. The World Encyclopedia of Vegetables combines a complete illustrated guide to vegetables with a compendium of delicious recipes, such as Spinach Ravioli, Squash Risotto, Greek Salad, Waldorf Salad, French Onion Soup, Potato Dauphinois, Borscht, and Stuffed Mushrooms. Together, the books provide a one-stop box set, with everything you need to create perfect salads and vegetable dishes all year round. The two essential volumes contain a visual directory for identifying, preparing and cooking salad ingredients and vegetables, with advice on seasonal availability, and buying and storing each ingredient, and recipe collections including ideas for hot and cold lunches, suppers, picnics, family meals and entertaining. Over 1360 photographs illustrate the 300 recipes, with step-by-step pictures to guarantee perfect results every time.
