If you're stuck in a salad rut, this book will definitely kick-start you out of it!After the introduction, there is a list of reasons to choose organic.  Next there is a list of different types of greens, each with a color photograph and a description - very nice!  The author also provides a list of yields by weight for different types of lettuce.Nearly all the recipes have professional color photos.  I like how the cookbook is organized by seasons as we shop the farmers markets a lot.  There is a lot of good information tucked in throughout the book, from descriptions of ingredients many cooks may be less familiar items (persimmons, kohlrabi, Thai vs. Vietnamese fish sauce) to growing your own salad sprouts.Every recipe in here looks marvelous.  Some are similar to salads I already make, but many are very new to me.  I have seen Grilled Romaine Salad on a restaurant menu, but never a recipe for it.The book is formatted beautifully and very well-written.  The Table of Contents lists salads in regular type and dressings in italics.  There are many hyperlinks throughout the book.
