The Author
My Thoughts
Easy Peasy Tasty Salads by Emily Brown is the perfect cookbook for the person or family that is interested in a healthy lifestyle, which starts with meal planning. If you like salads then this cookbook is for you. It has recipes for healthy salads such as various chicken salads, "Crunchy Salad" has cucumber in it and cucumbers provide vitamins A, B and C, which support the immune system.
There are also fish salads such as "Pink Salmon and Cherry Tomatoes Salad", salmon is high in Omega 3 fatty acid so it is not only delicious but very healthy. There is a recipe, "Gherkins and Bean Salad" that I found interesting. A combination of gherkin pickles, canned beans and croutons all mixed together with mayonnaise. Speaking of mayonnaise, there is a bonus recipe to make your own batch of mayonnaise to use in the salads.
At the end of each recipe there is a "tip" section where the author gives a bit of info on some of the ingredients in the recipe. Tips about vitamins, and other nutritional benefits of the ingredients. I find this to be particularly useful as it gives the reader a bit more insight into what is healthy to eat. I also found that some of the recipes had a combination of ingredients that I would have never thought to put together such as cucumbers, jicama, avocado's and radishes as in "Avocado and Radish Salad". There are also pictures at the end of each recipe.
The author used her extensive travels to debunk some myths to certain foods such as eggs and shrimp that influence cholesterol when in fact they don't and are good for you because of the nutritional benefits, all in moderation of course.
I enjoyed the variety of recipes that are in this book, I will definitely be trying some and having hubby as my accomplice to enjoy them with me!
I received an ebook copy of this book for review purposes only.
