Summary: A cookbook that I actually use!
Review: Loving to cook, and loving to read, I enjoy cookbooks immensely. This also leads to a sizeable collection, most of which are so esoteric or old-fashioned (WWII rationing, etc.) or unhealthy that they are fun to peruse, but that's it.
The New Moosewood Cookbook is awesome!! Not only are the recipes healthy and fun to read, they are incredibly flavourful and satisfying. Ms Katzen's book is in her own script, and her comments and tips about the recipes endearing. She also has a comprehensive index that is better than any I have ever seen. Having made at least half of the recipes in this book, I have only disliked one.
If you love good, not-dull, but not overly complicated recipes, The New Moosewood Cookbook is for you.

Summary: Tasty, well directed, and encouraging
Review: Molly's cookbooks make me feel like I AM a cook. She anticipates the million questions and quandries that I normally encounter when following a recipe; her words and drawings create an atmosphere that is inclusive -- one can be a total novice in the kitchen and feel safe and encouraged within her pages. The mushroom streudel is the very first recipe I attempted out of this book and to this day it never fails to generate requests for the recipe. It is our main course for Thanksgiving dinner, and I always make extra to send home with delighted family members.

Summary: My favorite cookbook
Review: My sister bought this cookbook for me when I became Vegetarian 11 years ago. I have been quite shocked by the comments I have read about the book here. I have found the book to be useful. We have enjoyed every every recipe that we have tried. Several I use for "company" meals...especially if the company is the type that wonders "what does a vegetarian eat." I have several of Ms Katzen's cookbooks and of those only one recipe has failed to please us. (that was in another of the cookbooks.) I enjoy this cookbook because I know I can rely on it when I try a new recipe. If I could only have one cookbook, this would be the one I would choose.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Now that so many of us are incorporating meatless meals into our diets, every cook needs to have more vegetarian recipes at the ready. This wonderful cookbook is just the ticket, with its delicious, classic recipes ... detailed down to their prep time. You'll savor the flavors!

Summary: to my taste-and suprisingly everyone elses
Review: Once you try a recipe in this book it is an instant favorite. All the recipes are winners. And it's easy. Simply put this book is full of recipes that will produce "good stuff". Though the recipes are "international" the result is very American.

Summary: Good, quick vegi recipes, but still somewhat dairy heavy...
Review: The Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Brocolli Forest (Katzen's other 70s cookbook) were the two main publications I learned to cook with around the time I graduated from college. At that time (ten years ago), I thought most of the recipes in these books were tasty, easy to make, and healthy. I stopped using the book for about five years and recently returned to it this year. Although I still like the preparatory quickness and tastiness of the recipes in Moosewood, there are some things that bother me about this book too. First, I was a bit surprised by how much dairy Katzen uses in many of these recipes. This is something I did not notice before. And this "dairy heaviness" is even more surprising since Katzen makes a note at the beginning of the New Edition that she has reduced proportions of much of the dairy products. Second, there is also an annoying school-marmish characteristic to some of Katzen's notes that I never noticed when I used it ten years ago. It's like I can I feel Katzen's "Betty Crocker-ness" coming through when I read her notes and recipes. ("It's OK to use non-fat instead of low-fat cottage cheese with this recipe." Gee, thanks, Molly.) Bottom line: This might be a good cookbook for people just starting to become vegetarians or for beginning cooks, but I wouldn't say it's too great for those more hardcore in their vegetarian cooking skills, beliefs, and practices. And I wouldn't think this would be a good book for anyone who was a vegan.

Summary: Yum
Review: This book made my decision to become a vegetarian easy. I was a little hesitant at first to eat some of the food in here when I saw it prepared, but that only lasted until my first bite. I now love vegeatables! This is by far my favorite cookbook. The recipes are easy to prepare and are delicious. Yum.

Summary: Leaner cuisine than the original, but not as tasty . . .
Review: This cookbook might be a good introduction to vegetarian cooking, but I prefer the "old" version of this cookbook, although that one was a bit heavy on more fattening ingredients (cheeses, for example). The "Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home" might be a better choice for someone who doesn't already have a Moosewood Cookbook, or who is looking for a beginner vegetarian cookbook. Still, it's worth having on your cookbook shelf if you don't have the original version, and already have started your veg cookbook collection with other cookbooks.

Summary: Classic book. Great time!
Review: This is a great basic cookbook to own, vegetarian or not. However I gave this book recemtly to a friend who has been toying with vegetarianism and he loves it. The nacho sauce recipe is a classic of mine and the brownie recipe inside is definitive. You really should own this book.
