'Stunning, fresh, luscious!' Yotam Ottolenghi

'An exciting and enticing triumph. I predict every reader will head to the kitchen to start roasting, grilling, tossing and slicing vegetables, herbs and fruits. This book is a winner!' Stephanie Alexander

You may have heard it said: 'You don't win friends with salad.'

Well, I'm here to tell you that you do! When you cart a kaleidoscopic container-load to a friend's barbecue; when you plonk a bowl of zippy greens down alongside grand mains to cut through and cleanse the palate; when you toss pantry ingredients together for lazy bowl-food on the couch.

Times have changed and salads have had a glow-up. This book is your guide to making every day a salad day, and every meal a moment to get your veg on. For warmer days, there are salads designed to refresh and replenish, using juicy, sun-drenched ingredients and the brightest of colours. For cooler days, there are salads that will sustain, nourish and ground, giving hearty food a counterpoint so that you finish the meal feeling better than you started.

Salad for Days is both a seasonal reference guide and a daily roster to boost your repertoire, packed with inspiration (come through, Cauliflower tabouli with lemony tahini and pomegranate) as well as food that comforts (hellooo, Honeyed butternut risoni salad with marinated feta). It also includes an indispensable 'what to make when' list for using up particular veg, as well as a huge dressings inspo index to return to time and again. With this book, you'll have salad for days ... and days ... and days ...

Her vegetable bible In Praise of Veg has been translated into six languages (and counting!) in 14 countries, winning an ABIA in Australia, a Gastronomisch gold medal in Germany, a nomination for cookbook of the year in The Netherlands and a berth as a James Beard finalist in North America. She is also the author of CBCA notable book Alice's Food A to Z and cooking confidence un-locker Better Cooking.
