Review:

Salad Joy by Julia Marshal has become my favorite go to cookery book! Actually, it isn t a cookery book ...because you hardly have to cook anything! Love that! The book has so many healthy, easy to prepare, mouth-watering recipes that cater to my special man and me who enjoy eating salads and keeping fit and staying health conscious. The book is just splendid hand s down the nicest cookery book you will have in your collection. The spiral bound, glossy thick pages filled with large color photos, simple ingredient lists and I really appreciate the easy to follow instructions that are highlighted in a different color so you don t lose your place while preparing are a 10+ in my opinion. I like how the book can be propped up in your kitchen when preparing because it stands up by itself or can easily lean it against your toaster w/out the pages turning or it falling over. Julia has definitely outdone herself with simple to follow and easy to prepare delicious, healthy recipes....even if you re drinking a glass or two of wine and chatting away with friends while preparing!! I picked the Grilled Skirt Steak recipe for dinner guests who I know liked steak and potatoes and basic ingredients. This recipe definitely raises the bar to an ordinary steak and potato meal however. The delicious horseradish sauce (I adore horseradish and decided to double up on the prepared horseradish we all devoured it and our napkins came in handy to wipe away the tears) was easy to prepare and I served it just as the picture showed in the book. The heirloom tomatoes really add to the final presentation with nice color and added flavor and texture to the meal. This recipe will be on the top of my list to serve to guests. It took me only 20 minutes in the kitchen to whip it up I really like that. For Mother s Day I am preparing the Cold Poached Salmon salad it looks fantastic and perfect for all the Mothers in my family coming over for brunch on Sunday. Thank you Julia!

I honestly thought there could be nothing better than a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich until I had Julia's BLT in a bowl. WOW, talk about elevating the most delicious thing to eat on the planet! Typical of Julia's culinary creativity, her BLT in a Bowl not only delivers the true goodness of a comfort food, but takes that taste to a whole 'nother level. With Julia's Salad Joy recipes, you really feel pampered and special, delighting in a different scrumptious take on many an old favorite. For me, this signifies Julia's essential style: she goes just that little bit extra to put the special spin on what one might have considered traditional. As a little kid, I adored a BLT, and now as an adult, I indulge in Julia's BLT in a Bowl; and enjoy it even more! -- Nancy Smeets, Westlake Village CA --Reader

I have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of Julia's cooking many times. And...she is a true wizard (wizardess?) in the kitchen. Her meals are always fresh, interesting, and most importantly, deeeeelish! Often I am the only vegetarian in the crowd and Julia always concocts 'my' version of what she is preparing by leaving the meaty bits out and adding something veggie in. The last time my luck held out and Julia made me dinner, we had the Thai Shrimp and instead of grilled shrimp, Julia grilled tofu -- it was the best Thai food I've had in a long time (and I live a quarter mile away from Thai Town in Hollywood!) I am so excited to have her recipes all in one place now, instead of me bugging her each and every time I have the good fortune to have a place at her table and want to know how to recreate what I just ate... -- Krista Eulberg, Hollywood CA --Reader
