Scottish caterer Fi Buchanan opens her beautiful wee book with a recollection of the power and potency of tasting peppery rocket for the first time, beginning a lifelong love of salad. For Buchanan, "salads are composed of elements like a song is composed of chords" and we're provided with a composition for every week of the year, from Roasted Baby Leeks to Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Burrata.

‘Salads can be anything you want them to be’ says Fi Buchanan. In Seasonal Salads she showcases 52 mouthwatering recipes, one for every week of the year. Here it is, a book that celebrates salads in all their seasonal glory.
There are hearty winter feasts (think Roasted Mushrooms with Farro or Lacy Potatoes with Eggs & Soft Herbs) as well as summer favourites (like Pistou Chargrilled Courgettes and Crispy Skinned Salmon Nicoise). There are classics and twists on classics, quick weeknight salads and dinner-partyworthy creations.
What these recipes all have in common is Fi’s trademark inventive flair, her ability to combine flavours and textures in the cleverest of ways to make the most of what’s plentiful in each season.
If you thought salads were something you served on the side, it’s time to turn over a new leaf.
