Book Description
From Booklist
Summer brings an abundance of leafy greens from the garden, just begging to be turned into refreshing salads. Salads also fill the bill on sultry afternoons when the cook doesn't want to sweat over a hot stove. Yet many people are still
afraid to make their own dressings, relying too much on manufactured bottled versions. Sally Griffiths and her coauthor remedy this with 100 Great Salad Dressings. To make tasty dressings, the cook first must know the properties of the oils, vinegars,
and seasonings that the dressings comprise. So Griffiths lays out the differences among oils, particularly the properties of different olive oils and their cousins, the nut oils. She does the same for vinegars, noting the usefulness of flavored varieties
and of balsamic vinegar. Her recipes for salad dressings start with simple vinaigrette variations and go on to highly specialized ones such as Passion fruit and Lemon Balm Dressing and Caraway and Smoked Bacon Dressing. Mark Knoblauch
