RIVER COTTAGE GREAT SALADS (HB)

Gelf Alderson has spent years serving up original, veg-centric meals to delight guests at River Cottage. Gathered into chapters such as Quick, Hearty, Spicy and Lunchbox, these recipes use everyday ingredients, and give plenty of suggestions for seasonal swaps and delicious alternatives. With minimal effort, you'll be serving up showstoppers such as Char-grilled cabbage, pickled pears, pesto and walnuts; Honey-glazed leftover belly pork with shredded summer veg; and Roast asparagus, feta, almonds and sourdough croutons. There's also a whole chapter of dressings and pickles to enliven even a simple bowl of leaves.
