I thought this book was really well priced and great value for money. Covering 200 recipes, it has some excellent ideas for both summer AND winter. It's easy to leaf through the pages and get some good ideas, even if you don't follow the recipes per se. Although a bit overwhelming as there are no specific sections for meats vs vegetarian salads, and although the beautiful pictures do not immediately follow respective recipes, it is a great book when you are first starting out in salad preparation and need to get lots of ideas.
