Summary: Love It
Comment: This is a lovely book about greens and growing them. If you're interested in learning about them this may be the book for you. Charming and informative. There are some good recipes included. However, if you're looking for more recipes... then there are other choices that will be better.

Summary: Picture Book
Comment: This book is a garden-picture book for salad lovers. It has 3 main parts: the art of salad gardening, which discusses different approaches to gardening with greens, an encyclopedia of salad greens, which includes information about growing individual greens, and favorite salad recipes. At the back of the book are appendices covering basics of planting and maintenance, pests and diseases, and resources. The book is filled with colorful photographs of greens in gardens and on the dining table.
Planting and care information in this book is very basic. If you're just getting started with gardening, you may need to check with other sources for more detailed information. In contrast, if you're already an accomplished gardener, you probably won't need much planting information anyway, but some of the descriptions of the lesser known individual greens may prove useful. The gardening advice takes an organic approach rather than using chemicals. The recipes, which all call for cooking from basic ingredients rather than mixes or cans, look tasty and vary from being something you can throw together in a few minutes to very fancy dishes for special occasions. In general though, the book seems intended to be firstly a visual treat and only secondarily a gardening guide.
