Show Up for Salad: 100 More Recipes for Salads, Dressings, and All the Fixins You Don't Have to Be Vegan to Love

Show Up for Salad is a new tutorial vegan cookbook by food and lifestyle blogger Terry Hope Romero. Due out 4th June 2019 from Hatchette on their Da Capo/Lifelong imprint, it's 304 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. The eARC/ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents, index (super handy!), and is hyperlinked throughout.
The layout is streamlined, logical, and appealing. The recipes are easy to find and the graphics and photography are well done.

The book's introduction explains a fair bit of the background and theory (where do you get your protein? doesn't eating salad leave you feeling hungry? why eat a plant based diet? isn't it difficult being vegan? etc), and then dives right into the general techniques: choosing, washing, soaking, drying ingredients, tools and other hardware, as well as sourcing more uncommon ingredients.

The recipes themselves are arranged thematically: Dressings and Toppings (and there are a massive number of alternatives), Salads, Roasted and Grilled, Pasta and Grains, and a selection of Soups. In all there are 100 recipes with a nearly infinite number of different dressings and topping combinations both savory and sweet/tangy.

We tried and absolutely loved the Buffalo Tomato Soup and Caesar Salad (5 stars), and Peking Roasted Tofu Salad (amazing). We have been trying to incorporate more plant based meals in our daily routine and this cookbook honestly has an amazing variety of tastes and cuisines made from easily sourced ingredients. There are a lot of these recipes which will satisfy non-vegetarian friends.

Really well done cookbook.

Five stars.
