Full Description
From the simplest Petite Salade Verte to a sophisticated White Nectarine Carpaccio with Microgreen Salad, from the Moroccan Carrot Salad with Golden Raisins, Saffron and Shallots, to the hearty Red Quinoa Salad with Oranges and Thyme-Encrusted Roasted Duck Legs, Salade: Recipes from the Market Table
celebrates the surprising diversity and bold flavors possible in every bowl. Grouped by key ingredient, with stunning full-page photos, delightful anecdotes and recipes that work every time, Salade transforms salads into the highlight of any menu.
Pascale's passion for great food and her genuine love of salads shout from every glorious page of this, her sixth book. She takes inspiration from, among other things: a thoughtful conversation with a grower at the lively farmers market; a quiet stroll through her favorite vineyard; or a raucous picnic with her cousins in the South of France. Pascale builds on simple palettes of delicate lettuces, hearty greens and nutty grains, with luscious fruit like figs, pears and peaches, earthy mushrooms, fragrant herbs and vegetables, all picked at the height of their season for fresh, bright tastes and textures. The result is a compendium of more than 80 salads, brimming with vibrant hues, innovative ingredients and creative flavor combinations.
Wildly colorful, thoroughly engaging and with spectacular dishes that both satisfy and impress, Salade is as beautiful, refreshing and welcome as the first green lettuce leaves of Spring.
