About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

A pretty basic parsley salad, but it does have everything a parsley salad needs and nothing it doesn't need (although if you make it for a vegetarian, you can leave out the anchovies and increase the olives). Go easy on the garlic.
