A beautifully illustrated cookbook from the Joy of Cooking series presents a wide range of delectable salads, featuring an array of salad recipes, organized by type--tossed, green, garnished, warm, vegetable and fruit, potato, cole slaw, bean, rice, pasta, and grain--and including both traditional favorites and exotic international specialties. 125,000 first printing.
In 1931, a St. Louis widow named Irma von Starkloff Rombauer took her life savings and self-published a book called The Joy of Cooking. Her daughter, Marion, tested recipes and made the illustrations, and they sold their mother-daughter project from Irma's apartment.
Awesome book about salads. Fruit salads, classic salads, warm salads and so on. And dressings, too. I prefer to buy mine, but if you like to make your own, this book is an excellent source.
