As you may have noticed the Cookbook of the Month is a book called Rebar. Rebar is a restaurant located in Victoria, British Columbia- just a ferry ride away from where I live! I actually haven’t been to Rebar though, but I’ve been eyeing this book in bookstores for a long time! I finally got the chance to use it when I took it out from my school’s library. I fell in love with it…I had to buy it!
One of the recipes I recently made from this book was a Mesclun and Fresh Pear Salad, with Brie, Hazelnuts, and a Blackberry-Thyme Vinaigrette. Man, was it good! I think this is the absolute perfect salad for late August, when you get the feeling that summer is turning into Fall. I also thought the addition of some roasted beets really added to this salad and matched the colour of the blackberry vinaigrette.
This looks like a deliciously satisfying salad! I must check out this cookbook, and will definitely look for Rebar on my next visit to Victoria.
Wow. There are so many flavors in this, all of which I love! I actually bought this book last year and then got busy and never had time to cook (happens way too often…). I can’t wait to hear about the other things you’re making from it.
I so love salads as beautiful & refined as this lovely one!! Fruit & cheese is always a bonus in salads!! I particulary like the dressing: very apart too!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMM,…Koko!!
Any salad with fruit and cheese automatically wins me over. It’s a combination that just hits my spot every time. You dressed it nicely for the picture!
Love pears in a salad….
Thank you all for your comments!
