SALAD FOR PRESIDENT: A COOKBOOK INSPIRED BY ARTISTS

A gorgeous, artfully curated collection of more than 80 salad recipes, with contributions and interviews from guest artists.

In this beautifully designed, full-color cookbook, Julia Sherman—the creator of the immensely popular Salad for President blog—presents a visually rich collection of salad recipes, with contributions and interviews by artists/creative professionals like William Wegman, Tauba Auerbach, Laurie Anderson, and Alice Waters.

Sherman encourages her readers to consider salad an everyday indulgence that can include cocktails, soups, family-style brunch dishes, and dinner-party entrées. Every part of the meal is reimagined with a fresh, vegetable-obsessed perspective. This compendium of savory recipes will tempt readers in search of diverse offerings from light to hearty organized by season.

The recipes, while not exclusively vegetarian, are vegetable-forward and focused on high-quality seasonal produce. Sherman also includes insider tips on pantry staples and growing your own salad garden of herbs and greens. Salad—with its infinite possibilities—is a game of endless combinations, not stifling rules.
 
And with that in mind, Salad for President offers a window into how artists approach preparing their favorite dishes. She visits sculptors, painters, photographers, and musicians in their homes and gardens, interviewing and photographing them as they cook.
 
Utterly unique in its look into the worlds of food, art, and everyday practices, Salad for President is at once a practical resource for healthy, satisfying recipes and an inspiring look at creativity.
