The Complete Book of Dressings

A bit dated

I have been using this recipe book for almost ten years and have not tired of it because it remains the most inventive and simply delicious book of dressings I have ever come across.

I love this book! It has so many great ideas, and not just for plain old lettuce... great suggestions for fish, chicken, fruit, etc. I love the fact that it describes different vinegars, oils, lettuces... it gives you a better understanding of what flavours go well together. Very informative. The recipes are simple and quick to prepare as well. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who is looking to expand beyond oil & vinegar.

This is a wonderful book! It is well organized and contains lots of ideas for variations. Each recipe lists the nutritional values, and there are many recipes that fit easily into a low fat/calorie diet. The author explains what purpose each ingredient serves, and also discusses substitutions and their consequences. Each recipe is on a separate page and are formatted so they are easy to read. Nice use of artwork and variation of fonts, if you like that. I do. This book is a bargain, too!

This book provides more information than just dressing recipes. The author gives useful suggestions for creating interesting salads, how to buy and store ingredients, and nutritional information for each recipe. I'm planning on making good use of this book.

I love to cook, but never even considered making salad dressings. I assumed it would be complicated, messy and time consuming. Not so. I received The Complete Book of Dressings last Christmas and have used it with nearly every meal since. The recipes are extremely easy & fast, and make just enough for a single family salad; so we can enjoy as much variety as we want.
