Now taking suggestions for cold #grain #salads (that are not #tabbouleh). Go!

Remember that baby #cucumber I posted on 12 Jun? Here it is today, 21 Jun, only 9 days later.

This is the #Sumter variety of cucumber, which I highly recommend for quick growing cucumbers in a 5 gallon container. (USDA Zone 7b)

These are pickling cucumbers, and they make great #pickles, but they are also good raw, and I often eat them in #salads.

Cookbook Review/Seasonal Salads/Fi Buchanan

I have a few books to share this week, all recent publications. Let's start with Seasonal Salads.

Seasonal Salads, by Fi Buchanan
Published: 2023
Publisher: Kitchenpress
Pages: 144
Price: Around $36, but always check around as prices vary. It seem there is no ebook.

Around 50 or recipes, many but not all are vegetarian.

A UK book from an active food writer and chef who owned Glasgow's legendary Heart Buchanan café and deli. But one that looks like a self-produced book in some respects.

I am a salad lover, once cooking my way through Bittman's 101 Salads, at least the vegetarian ones and ones that could be altered (an excellent list, still available online). This book presents 4 - 5 salads per month, 1 per week. If you use the month before and the month after, then you have at least 12 salads to get you through the month. Perfect.

These salads are not leafy green salads. They take common (UK) ingredients and make a salad out of them. There is something to admire about that, but I found myself wanting at least a few more greens. Also, it would have been good to have some vegetarian protein, nuts and seeds in some salads.

But my biggest gripe for all month by month cookbooks that come out of the UK (and Nth Hemi in general) is that there are no adjustments made for the different seasons in the Sth Hemi. We have to add 6 to the month. Even popular authors - Looking at you, Nigel Slater.
And others.

This book is nice enough but it didn't engage me terribly much. I think your money would be better spent on Nigel Slaters GreenFeast books. Or grab a copy of Bittman's 101 Salads. That's about 9 salads per month.

I hesitated buying a Taylor Farms Dill Pickle Chopped Salad Kit because I suspected it might be a tad obnoxious, but decided to give it a try. It turned out to be my favorite of their varieties I've tried so far. The flavor was there but balanced nicely. #foodofmastodon #food #salad #salads

"Cynthia’s Salad"

Long ago, in another world, ladies did luncheons.  Frequently the menu was a variety of salads, a roll and an amazingly calorie laden dessert.  Cynthia’s last name has long been forgotten but her salad has not. Ingredients: 1 can, large,...

Today's salad, at least one of today's salads, is a lovely Italian-style roasted red pepper and sauteed tomato salad, with garlic and preserved lemon.

It is adapted from Med, by Claudia Roden. She suggests adding olives as a variation, which would be nice, but I am also tempted to add some sour grapes dotted around.

I topped with Greek Oregano, perfect for Autumn, and for joy, some blue borage flowers and purple Greek oregano flowers.
