good

I am having so much fun just trying new flavors and vegetables. These recipes give you a lot to use. You can vary them to your own taste preferences.

Do NOT waste your money on this piece of crap. The book is a sloppy, badly assembled, poorly written collection of mediocre recipes (many of them fattening) that this person clearly gathered from an afternoon of googling. Jacket blurb suggests the book will appeal to "housewives". Wish I'd seen that before I wasted my money on it.Clearly a self-published misadventure.

More side dishes than salads, many repeat with one changed ingredient, poor content, boring combinations... waste of money

Here you will find a recipe for Waldorf salad that includes neither apples nor grapes - it's just 1 teaspoon of celery (!), 8 walnuts, and a boatload of fatty dressing. You will find a recipe for a "Greek salad" that includes 2 cups of cooked rice. Lots of other very weird combinations and strange terminology. Refers to mung beans as "green gram", a term used in some Indian recipes but not explained here. The recipe for green gram salad is literally mung beans, yogurt, chili powder, and sugar. The amounts alternate between grams, ounces, and cups.The book appears to be 'print-on-demand'. There are no illustrations whatsoever. Ingredients are not adequately described - lots of them call for 'chili powder', but there are many different kinds of chili powder and their heat varies hugely. I'd hate for some poor soul to chow down a bowl of mung beans +yogurt+a very spicy Indian variety of chili powder.The author claims to have written 'many best-sellers'. The Amazon book offerings do not support this claim. I've never had such an eerie sense of reading something generated by CHATGPT. On the other hand, CHATGPT would probably know that a Waldorf salad is mainly apples.There are some good ideas for salads in this book, but overall the strangeness of many recipes outweighs the value.
