Imagine a cookbook that starts with an array of 30 spectacular original recipes–15 for heartwarming soups and 15 for refreshing salads. But that's just the beginning: Soups and Salads also serves as an expertly informed culinary guide to creating your own masterpieces. Build flavorful soup bases like mirepoix and roux, and understand the essential components of a well-balanced salad (and what all those exotic lettuces and greens taste like). Level up your techniques, master stocks and broths, incorporate magical but unfamiliar spices, and whisk together easy-yet-yummy homemade salad dressings. It's all right here!
