Neighborhood: Hearty Salads and Plant-Based Recipes from Home and Abroad

I love this authors salad recipes. This book is great & so is her other one Community. I’ve earned a title as ‘the person who makes great salads’ going to bbqs now - that’s a first! Honestly, the combinations are incredible & have really helped my partner & I with eating healthy food that is delicious. We find making one salad from this book will last us a working week in lunches (I usually cut it with roquette or baby spinach at work - so make double if you want it straight for two people). For context he was a chef & I make a lot of pastry, gelato & smoked meats - this book showed us salad has high potential to be delicious & not just a dieters main or side dish.

This book is brilliant! Hetty packs so many delicious veggies into a dish, balancing all the flavors till the sum is so much more than the parts, tying it all together with a clever yet simple dressing, and punching it up with plenty of fresh herbs (always!). Not only does this book give you recipe after recipe to cook from when your own brain is feeling blah, but it gives you a handful of little tricks and combinations that you can use to make your own inventions and inspire your cooking every day. This book is for vegetable lovers, yes, but I know a lot of people are trying to work more plants into their diets and this is the perfect solution for them too. Not to mention all of us who pick up our CSA and wonder, "What do I do with kohlrabi/more beets/[insert your dilemma here]?"

I just received my pre-ordered copy of this book and it has already become an instant favorite in my home! I practically read the book cover to cover last night and can't wait to try each and every recipe. Every dish sounds incredible -- so hearty and satisfying, and the photos are visually scrumptious! I just love the title and theme of the book and how effortlessly Hetty weaves in and out of cultures, using various local ingredients with expertise. You can tell that Hetty is so good at and just loves what she does, from her expert tips and knowledge of vegetables and legumes, to her travels and experiences that have influenced her recipes. Not to mention, Hetty's lovely writing style reads like a cozy novel - totally approachable and friendly, like a coffee date with an old friend! All in all, this book is an absolute delight! I highly recommend this book for yourself and as a great gift for a friend!

Love this collection of recipes.

This is an absolutely beautiful book both visually and in content. From page one, you get a clear sense of who Hetty is and where she comes from, which is reflected in the recipes. I am a very beginner chef and these recipes are easy to follow and delicious. As anyone who wants to eat clean while still having exciting and flavorful meals, I highly recommend buying this book!

My husband gifted me this book for my birthday and I absolutely love it. Reading through this cookbook miraculously inspires me to whip up some salads and get a few friends over to enjoy them with. Delicious and healthy recipes, gorgeous photos and a beautifully done book overall.

This is a beautiful frou-frou big-city snooty coffee-table cookbook lol, but for me personally, when I am flipping through a cookbook and I'm more than halfway through and I have not seen ONE recipe that sounds good or even accessible, it's a "no." I live in a small big town (Prescott AZ) and these ingredients aren't AVAILABLE. I was looking for SIMPLE, CREATIVE salad recipes with ingredients anybody can find and folks this ain't that. Guess I'll have to write one myself! :) That said, if you live in NYC or San Francisco or L.A. and want to impress your friends with fancy salads, you will probably love this book! Different strokes for different folks.

Great plant based recipes with easy to access ingredients.

Bought as a present

He comprado el libro 2n mano. Tiene alguna hoja y la tapa con rasguños pero el interior esta perfecto. Muy buen precio .

This book is all kinds of amazing. I want to make absolutely everything contained within its extremely well-styled pages, and what I have made to date has been extremely delicious. The dishes are vibrant in both appearance and flavour, and a huge amount of thought has been put into curating awesome hearty salads. Whilst I am a slightly inexperienced and potentially useless cook, I've found all the recipes easy to follow. In summary, wonderful!

I really like this author. I did like her book called Family a lot more than this one.

I do not dislike anything about this author. I have purchased all three of her books. She introduced me to Asian fusion salad and vegetable combinations and dressings/sauces that I have not really seen before or together. I have cooked a couple of recipes so far, and I am still intrigued to try more.
