1.0 out of 5 stars FRUIT SALADS NOT SALSAS, December 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best 50 Salsas (Paperback)

I'm very dissapointed,the book says 50 best salsas. Obviously the publisher named this book to get some sales regardless of what is on the pages. It's more like CUSTOM FRUIT SALADS.
I was looking for salsas not fruit salads. More than half the book is fruit salads. If you looking for classic or typical salsas and some good variations of those then THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU. Needless to say I was disapointed since I dont fancy bluberry, rasberry, stawberry, watermellon, pear, zuchini or pineapple salsas and the like. These hardly classify for 50 best salsas.

I'd have to admit, I was skeptical when I first picked up this book. It's pocket size and no-frills layout didn't lead me to expect all that much, but boy! was I surprised. The recipes are really fantastic. The freezer salsa recipe was phenominal, really a great base for all sorts of experimentation with flavors and textures. After my in-laws numerous requests for my salsa secrets I just had to buy them a copy of their own.
