Description
Very Good Salads is filled with more than 50 Middle Eastern and Mediterranean-inspired recipes that showcase the best seasonal produce, with an emphasis on vegetarian and vegan dishes.
From Shuki Rosenboim and Louisa Allan, the team behind cult-favorite Very Good Falafel in Melbourne, Australia, this seasonal cookbook includes veggie-filled plates, salads, dips, pita and pickles, alongside the best chickpea 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; freekeh and hazelnut; and grilled leek with pomegranate, walnuts, spring onion, mint, dill and lemon zest; as well as larger offerings such as silverbeet rice cake and stuffed tomatoes with saffron rice and dried mint. In addition, the book shares recipes for traditional dips and the ultimate pita recipe that produces flawless bread 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.
