Kew Gardens Salad Book
Product Description
The Kew Gardens Salad Book celebrates the rich possibilities that culinary plants and fungi offer in the kitchen through a diverse selection of tasty and easy salad recipes.
Author: Jenny Linford, 208 pages, 100 illustrations, 246 x 189 mm. Hardback, ISBN 9781842468333, Kew Publishing, 2025.
Utilising a varied array of plant foods, author Jenny Linford enables and empowers readers to broaden their palates, improve their health, protect the environment and prevent biodiversity loss while enjoying delicious salads.
The variety of flavours and textures offered by edible plants is remarkable: the appealing freshness of leaves, the crunch of cabbage, the cheerful juiciness of tomatoes, the satisfying density of roots and squashes, the luscious sweetness of fruits, the fragrance of herbs and spices. Drawing inspiration from cuisines and ingredients from around the world, these 65 varied vegetarian salads prove that eating well can be simple and satisfying without any need to sacrifice flavour.
Eating plant-based benefits our health and the planet. The world’s current diet, dependent on just 12 plant and five animal species for 75% of our food, threatens biodiversity and food security and cannot be sustained. Expanding the range of plant-based food sources we consume is an easy way to have a positive impact on the environment.
This enticing salad book is illustrated with stunning photography of the dishes and their ingredients, drawing on the botanical nature of the research and conservation carried out by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, with recipes created especially for Kew.
