Praise for Jeanne Kelley's Salad for Dinner : Jeanne Kelley is not like you and me. The greens she grows in her backyard garden are vivid as a Cezanne dream of lettuce, and the eggs laid by her chickens could blind you if you looked directly into the yolk. But her real genius is in assemblage, the ability to transform a seemingly random plateful of vegetation into a composition perfectly evocative of the season. -Jonathan Gold, food critic for The Los Angeles Times

Praise for Jeanne Kelley's Salad for Dinner : Whether you're making a weeknight dinner for the family or a weekend party for a crowd, this is the book you'll reach for time and again. -Dorie Greenspan, author of Around My French Table
