The Dublin-based food brand Sprout & Co, founded by two brothers, has made salad more than easy to digest—they’ve shown how creative yet comforting a big bowl of greens can be when dressed up with farm-fresh, flavorful ingredients and served with a sense of balance between textures and flavors. This book, from one of the brothers, a graduate of the Ballymaloe Cookery School, includes a pantry primer before moving into a collection of salad recipes that begin with the simple and grow into the celebratory. It gives homage to traditional flavor combinations while also including trendier options, such as jammy red peppers, making many of the dishes feel simple and special at the same time. It also shows readers how to embrace understated vegetables like celeriac, with drool-worthy dressings and includes recipes that will turn skeptics of wilted greens or grilled lettuces into believers.
VERDICT In his first cookbook, Kirwan dishes up a bountiful harvest with options that are plant-forward, along with hearty meat-centered salads, with just the right balance of classics thrown in to feed people’s need for daily greens while also inspiring them to view salads as canvases for artistic explorations of flavors, colors, and textures.
