4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Ideas, March 13, 2007

While this book is not as abundant in recipies as I had thought, it is well put together. Recipies are organized by catagory such as Vinagrettes and fruit based. Many are recommended to keep for only 2-4 days. The result is a larger portion than one family can have in a sitting.

The book is fun to look at and does inspire lots of tastey ideas. It would be an excellent gift for the foodie in your family.

I've owned this book for years and absolutely love it! It's full of quick and easy salad dressing ideas all of which are fantastic! The recipies are clear and concise and quite yummy! I've rarely bought bottled or store bought dressing since I've owned this book! This is a cute and informative little cookbook, and as far as I'm concerned, a kitchen classic and cookbook library staple! Enjoy!

I have made three dressings from this book so far and they are all yummy and (for me) surprisingly simple to make. Very Salad Dressing has single-handedly demystified homemade salad dressing for me. Highly recommended.
