“Hetty McKinnon doesn’t write great vegetarian recipes, she just writes great recipes.”
—Nigella Lawson
In her follow-up to the James Beard award-winning cookbok Tenderheart, Hetty Lui McKinnon returns with Linger, a cookbook for those looking to up their salad game. These colorful main-meal salads are inventive and hearty, packed with vegetables and globally-inspired flavors. Linger proves that salads are the most versatile dish, perfect for weeknight dinners, not-sad-desk-lunches, and as a show-stopping celebration meal.
From her salad-delivery days in Sydney to her current career as a food writer and bestselling cookbook author in New York, Hetty has long known the power of salads to connect and create community. In Linger, Hetty presents her salads, sweets and stories in twelve vibrant, loosely-seasonal menus -- each of which have their own playlist -- that are the perfect blueprint for gathering and entertaining.
Over 100 recipes, including:
• Caprese Salad with Grilled Pineapple • Mapo Tofu salad
• Cauliflower Larb • French Onion Salad
• Curry Potato-and-Pea Dumpling Salad • Potato Salad Tartine
• Vegan Dan Dan salad
• Roasted Spiced Carrots and Crispy Tofu with Agrodolce
•Tomato and Kimchi Pasta Salad • Butternut with Lentils, Olives, and Pickle Sauce
