Rating: Summary: Not A Bad Dish to Be Eaten Yet! Review: This is a great cookbook for beginners. The recipes are simple and (mostly) quick and the results, at least for all the ones I have tried, are delicious. Mollie Katzen suggests accompanying dishes with each recipe, making it easy to plan the family dinner or a social get-together. And, as with any good cookbook, a glossary of terms and basic cooking instructions is provided for novice cooks. I'm not a vegetarian in any sense of the word, yet I find myself turning again and again to the dishes in the New Moosewood Cookbook. My mother has a copy of the original edition and once I moved away from home, a Moosewood Cookbook was on my list of things to buy. One of the things I like about the new edition is that a lot of the fat and calories have been reduced for us 21st Century cooks, yet it still retains the folksy charm of the original thanks to each handwritten and illustrated page. Everyone should have a copy of it in their cookbook library.
Rating: Summary: One of My Very Favorite Cookbooks Review: This is a GREAT cookbook. I love the "handwritten" feel of the book itself, the author's commentary, and the delicious, but "different" recipes. This book is great inspiration for not only using the recipes as presented, but also adding your own touches to customize what you are given. One reviewer commented that this cookbook would not be great for someone of "unrefined" tastes [a meat and potatoes type perhaps]. I have the back them up on that - my husband is a meat and potatoes guy and I haven't made even one single recipe from this book that he would eat. However, for those who are more adventurous, you'll adore the treats in this book!
