The Moosewood Cookbook (1974)

This is a wonderful vegetarian cookbook. I've used it for years and love all of the recipes I have tried from there. I have many still to try, but am sure they will all be very good. ( )

This is the ORIGINAL Moosewood, with some minor changes. My original book was stained and worn out. Molly Katzen produced one of the first and best non-meat cookbooks. The results are usually good, when you have the time to invest AND gather the LONG list of ingredients.
I learned a lot as a young cook from her cookbook. It's a classic. ( )

This is one of my favorite cookbooks. I love the font and the artwork as much as I love the recipes.

The recipes are divided into Hot Soups, Chilled Soups, Salads, Sauces, Sandwiches & Spreads, Entrees, Desserts, and A Few Miscellaneous Baked Things. The emphasis is on making vegetarian meals delicious, and do they ever succeed. Some recipes I have made over and over, to rave reviews, including Spinach Ricotta Pie, “Zuccanoes” or Stuffed Zucchini, and “Delicious Corn Bread,” and Sour Cream-Orange Cake.

There is so much good to eat in these pages. The only challenge is to consume with moderation! ( )

This is an old standby in our kitchen. A lot of comfort food and Katzen never lets you down with inadequate directions. Sometimes I take short cuts and store a lot of the basic ingredients that form many of the foods as 'frozen starters'. The premixing and freezing taught me a lot about what can and can't be done that way (fresh herbs are a must!; don't use a self-defrosting fridge freezer as a storage option). By relying on Mollie K's cookbooks, we had much healthier dinners when everyone was burned out from their day. ( )

Classic, delicious vegetarian recipes, although some are dated because it was published decades ago. ( )
