London: Prospect Books, 1982.. Facsimile, limited edition of John Evelyn�s 1699 homage to salads and his 9-step guide to the perfect salad. "The combination of gastronomic curiosity, scientific interest, and ancient learning comes together in Evelyn�s discourse on salads of 1699, in which he listed 82 different vegetables, leaves, and ingredients for salads. He also included a chart about their growing seasons and ways of preparing the salad ingredients. This is followed by a 9-step guide for dressing a salad, which shows his practical engagement in the making and eating of the salad, well beyond his bookish pursuits."
