L. Frazier: I own a ton of cookbooks that I never use. This one has so many amazing recipes! It's also an interesting read. While I don't normally read the whole book and just skip straight to the recipes, I took the time to read all of the preamble, and it's actually pretty good. If you're looking to switch up your salad routine, it's a good one!

This recipe book is a total game changer for us. We are tired of the usual salads that I have been making so I purchased this one with the hopes of incorporating more raw veggies into our diet. First salad I made was the R&D Extraordinaire Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette. The combination of greens, strawberries, carrots and pita chips is so delicious! I did not care for the balsamic dressing though. It called for too much oil. The next time I made it I decided to use a different recipe and I am very pleased. The Fave Salad is also good but my favorite so far is the Shanghai Salad. Oh my, it’s delicious and so is the dressing! It was so good that I ate it 3 times this week. My husband (not a salad lover) asked for seconds. Like, what?!!
Get this book! You won’t regret it!

Aislinn Wren: I got this as a gift for a friend named Mandy. She says the recipes are actually really great too. Added bonus. Haha

BBud: I purchased this because I wanted to eat healthier lunches at work. Salads can get boring if you lack imagination - Mandy’s to the rescue! Most of the recipes I’ve tried have been winners, combining ingredients I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. Definitely a good recipe book if you are looking for salad inspiration!

Some of the comments about the index and how to navigate this book (and its sequel) made me think a little bit longer about ordering these, but I've bought both and read through them and I'm keeping them.
First up, I've found criticisms of the Index to be invalid; if you know the name of the recipe you're looking for, each recipe is listed by name in the Contents at the front of the book, in Chapter, with page number. The Index follows the same format as all the other cookbooks I own - individual ingredients are listed alphabetically, and the recipes in which they appear are listed below them, by title, with page numbers. So if you don't like the Index in the "Mandy's" cookbooks, then you don't like the Index in *any* cookbook.
Secondly, yes, the recipes for the salad dressings are listed separately from the recipe for the rest of the salad, in their own chapter, and some dressings do use another dressing recipe as a "base" to which you add more ingredients. This would indeed be bothersome to people who want everything all on one page, but I think it's a space saver, considering that individual dressings are used in multiple salads. It's also less...

A few years ago, we arrived in Montreal having flown in from Great Britain and after checking in at the hotel in the old quarter and very tired and jet lagged, our family stumbled on Mandy’s cafe / restaurant at around midnight (body clock). The place was absolutely beautiful inside and the food was just what we needed.
When I looked up Mandy’s on their website for inspiration, I found a hardback book was available and having purchased, it is so well presented, just like the food in their restaurants. I would highly recommend purchase.

Lena: I like the personal stories of the sisters, it feels like they could be family. The salads are great and easy to do.

H Ray: The salad recipes are phenomenal! That being said, they are a lot of work and sometime involve multiple recipes within a recipe. But if you have the time, they are worth it. My favourites have been Wild Sage, Shanghai, Pearl Pesto Bowl, and the Hippie Bowl. There’s more than salads (smoothies, grain bowls, desserts, etc) but the salads are the stars.
