This reference book is designed to send the reader racing to the shops to try the combinations of lettuce, leaves and all kinds of ingredients that it suggests. The recipes take their inspiration from all over the world - salt cod and lentils from Spain; Cajun seafood gumbo; an East-West fusion of duck, pea and ginger; and a South African salad of elephant foot bread with avocado and Scandinavian fruit soup.;From appetising starters via main courses and side-salads to desserts, Sue Lawrence uses fresh ingredients to create an intriguing feast.
