Amazon.com Review
Potato salad is almost always synonymous with casual outdoor picnics and summertime comfort food. Well, hold onto your spuds, because Barbara Lauterbach's Potato Salad: Fifty Favorite Recipes will change the way you view this standard accompaniment. Potato Salad features many variations of family recipes, from the New Year's Day Good Luck Salad, with traditionally Southern black-eyed peas, to the Rosemary Orange Potato salad, with an elegant citrus twist and enough class to serve at any formal luncheon. The book is divided into five sections, and one of the most unusual and fun chapters is dedicated to international potato salads. Here you'll find salads featuring various seafood, imported meats, and cheeses, such as the Stop and Go Italian Potato Salad and the Niçoise Potato Salad. Accompanying many of the recipes are colorful photos of the finished product to provide additional inspiration and presentation ideas. Potato Salad will satisfy your starchy comfort-food cravings while providing unique hot and cold salads that serve as main courses or side dishes any time of year. --Teresa Simanton

Not Your Mama's Potato Salad,
By A Customer
This review is from: Potato Salad: Fifty Favorite Recipes (Paperback)
Well actually it probably has your mother's potato salad and a whole lot more. From the traditional to the revolutionary, all the bases are covered in this book. I particularly like Tarragon and Lamb Potato Salad and Jansson's Temptation. If the spud's your thing, you must have this book.

Fantastic Potato Salad!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Potato Salad: Fifty Favorite Recipes (Paperback)
Even if you are an "occasional" cook, this book is fantastic! Most potato salads could be a meal. The information in the chapter called "The Basics" is invaluable for creating superb potato salad. After trying eight recipes, Barbara Lauterbach's "Potato Salad" will be a mainstay in my kitchen.

Potato Salad,
By Jo Atley (Pittsburgh, PA U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Potato Salad: Fifty Favorite Recipes (Paperback)
The title "Potato Salad" on the cover of this cook book intrigued me. I couldn't think of many variations of such an old fashioned dish. To me just omitting eggs or mustard , selecting salad dressing in preference to mayonnaise is about the extent of my repertoire .I bought the book because potato salad is just about my favorite food. The variety of potato salad recipes is very surprising. Being a lover of fish I was amazed at the many kinds of fish that blend deliciously with potatoes in a salad. Barbara has not only found tasty potato salad recipes from all over the world, she has made them simple to follow and noted substitutes where you may need them. This is a great cook book made simple and will certainly be on my gift list.
