Sumptuous
Southern Salads
from Key West to Washington, D.C. by
Vicky Moon
Description:
"Best Dressed
Southern Salads" is much more than a cookbook - its
a gastronomic journey of sumptuous salad toppings from Key West to Washington,
D.C. The South has always offered a distinctive version of cuisine,
but now writer Vicky Moon slices it apart state by state. Recipes such
as "South Beach" present a surprising blend of brown sugar,
celery seed and dry mustard with red wine vinegar and olive oil. Served
over Bibb lettuce, Florida oranges, Florida avocados and sliced tomatoes
(from Florida, of course), it's best nibbled while watching the world
go by in one of theliveliest neighborhoods imaginable (youll remember
it from the movie, "The Birdcage").
"Mrs. Gotrock's Palm
Beach Fruit Salad Dressing" is said to be a secret mixture from
one of the most famous hostesses of all time. Meander along the trail
with "Buckhead Champagne Dressing" from Atlanta, "Delicious
Dandelion Salad" from Charlotte and "Caper and Caviar Dressing"
all from the southern most tip of the United States to our Nation's
Capitol. Discover the recipes, the people and the places that make
Southern cooking such a treat, written in the style of Vickys
previous book, "The Middleburg Mystique" that "The
Washington Times" hailed as: "Titillating tales of divorce,
murder, mayhem and madness among the owner-squires of exquisite hunt-country
estates."
