I'm surprised this book hasn't gotten more buzz. The recipes are so good - really unique and delicious combinations, things I would not think of putting together. It's nicely laid out as well, and easy to follow. I think one thing holding it back is the title and cover - something about it put me off when I first saw it. It just looks a little too subdued and slightly alien, and not reflective of the warm and rich recipes inside.

Neighborhood is a beautiful collection of recipes. The book is sorted by area of the world and includes a variety of recipes from each area. I love the wonderful ideas for eating local no matter where you are. The recipes suggest multiple ways to have salad without getting bored by a "typical" salad every night. Most of the recipes include a full color photo, and the photos in the book are gorgeous! I would recommend this title be added to your home collection, and I'll be trying many of the recipes in the book!

The Neighborhood recipe book features meal-salads from around the world. The photographs are as mouthwatering as the recipes!

While not a vegetarian cookbook per se, most of the recipes focus on vegetables and grains. I appreciated the addition of suggested possible substitutions that allows cooks to use what is in their pantry or gives license to mix-it-up.

Each geographic section of the book has standout recipes, but I was particularly enamored with the Pho Noodle Salad and the Chimichurri Salad Bowl. These recipes can be used as meals, side salads, or fantastic contributions to a potluck.

A beautifully presented book full of wonderful vegetarian food from around the world. The book is separated into continents with flavours and ingredients that are popular within the area. The recipes are easy to follow, very healthy and look very yummy.
And just to add to this book there is a section in the back with healthy desserts - what else could any one else want. A beautiful refreshing and well written book.

My husband and I eat salads twice a week. He is fine have lettuce, tomato and cucumber salad topped with a protein. i am the "experimental" one in our family who will try anything once. As my family has always said I look for the strangest this item on the menu and that is what I order. So keep that in mind when I say I didn't see a salad in this cookbook that I wouldn't want to try. At first glance the recipes look long and involved. But you have to remember that these are not your every day ordinary side salads. These are the salads that are going to be your meal. While she not only offers recipes for the salads, there is a yummy dressing recipe to accompany each salad as well. And she seems to know that not all of us want to scour town for those more obscure ingredients as she has added substitute ingredients for us to use. This book may not be for everyone, but if you love a good salad and are bored with the same old lettuce and tomato, take a look.

Thanks Netgalley for providing me with the digital copy of this book.

Beautiful cookbook with color photos of most of the recipes. All of the recipes look beautifully prepared, even though some of the ingredients might not be every day items. I think this will be a great book for the library collection.

Quite enjoyed the photography and recipes! I cooked a few of them for my wife and the smells emitting from the kitchen had her licking her lips and coming to see when it was ready. We both enjoyed the PHO NOODLE SALAD WITH TOFU, NAPA CABBAGE, AND BROCCOLINI and the LEBANESE STEWED GREEN BEANS AND CHICKPEAS WITH SPINACH PILAF. So delicious!

The photos throughout are engaging and set the stage for the recipes. The book includes a wide variety of upscale recipes that include both vegetarian and gluten free options!

I loved the format, the pictures and the recipes look fantastic. I never have a good side salad or vegetarian entree and this book makes me want to eat more veggies!!!! This will be a beautiful gift as well as a treasured cook book for most.
