“Elevates salads from the quotidian to the thrilling.”
The New York Times

“[Saladish] ranks highest on the usability scale of any book this spring. . . . Rosen is a natural teacher, demystifying fancy-sounding ingredients, dispensing a few crucial laws of salad composition (you want a combo of toothsome, fluffy, hefty, crunchy and crisp) alongside menu suggestions not for special occasions and holidays but for real life, for a real dinner table.”
New York Times Book Review
 
“More than 80 tasty recipes that riff on the traditional salad and star noodles, grains, greens, and a rainbow of veggies. . . . Gorgeous photos and technique illustrations make for a beautiful and useful book.”
—Good Housekeeping
 
“Rosen takes the everyday notion of salad and transforms it into a sort of Platonic ideal of creativity and deliciousness.”
Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Ilene Rosen may not have invented the salad, but there’s no question that she transformed it. . . . . Saladish is a compendium of recipes divided by season and punctuated by useful tips and techniques, treatises on texture and assembly, and pantry and equipment guides. While this might sound like every other vegetable-centric tome out there, Rosen distinguishes hers with images and recipes that reflect her unique eye and palate.”
—New York
 
“We’re committed to this style of salad making, which goes beyond regular offerings to emphasize new ingredients, unusual flavor combinations, and a variety of textures.”
Epicurious

“Even the most lettuce-averse can find comfort amid these 75 dishes which incorporate grains, nuts, cheeses, and proteins.”
—Modern Farmer
