Meatless Monday? We have cookbooks just for you...

Going "Meatless Monday"?  We offer many cookbooks featuring vegetarian recipes for side dishes and for salads, and whether exotic or homestyle, they will inspire healthy choices for you and your family.  

Here is an example of a recipe for a Nasturtion [nasturtium] Salad from Grandma Keeler's Housekeeper published circa 1910: "Cut the heart of a large bunch of celery very fine, and add to it one tablespoonful minced parsley and six blades of chives. Mix with a French dressing, then stir lightly the petals of twelve nasturtion blossoms. Put in a salad dish lined with crisp lettuce leaves and garnish with nasturtion leaves."
