Summary: Fantastic!
Review: After cooking for my family for thirty years, I had lost interest. After finding this book, my interest in cooking has been renewed. I am now a fantastic vegetarian cook. Thank you Moosewood cooks.

Summary: Only for the adventurous!
Review: Although I love this book I didn't give it a full five stars because A) there are no pictures and B) I felt that the recipes would probably not appeal to everyone. It is a personal favorite precisely because it is unusual. My family especially loves the African Pineapple Peanut Stew and Chick Pea and Artichoke Heart Stew, but we've enjoyed all of the dishes I've tried so far. There are some recipes that might be more familiar such as Mushroom and Smoked-Cheese Pizza and Curried Fried Rice. Most of the recipes would fit a vegan diet, but some do include fish, eggs and dairy products. At the back of the book there is a list of nondiary and vegan recipes as well as lists of special dishes for entertaining, kid-pleasers, dishes that sit well and are suitable for a buffet, and 30-minute dishes. Most of the recipes are fairly quick and easy to prepare. There are a lot of fresh ingredients used, so that could take more time. Be aware that many of the ingredient lists contain things like finely chopped onion, chopped fresh thyme, fresh grated cheese. Unless you are a very quick chopper you will need to buy prepared ingredients or elicit some help in the kitchen to get dinner on the table in less than 45 minutes. I bought this book with the intention of including more vegetables, fruits and legumes in my diet. I have accomplished that and becuase the recipes are so flavorful we don't miss the meat at all.

Summary: A joy of a book
Review: Bought this book when it first came out, from the start every recipe was a joy to prepare, to serve, and eat. Even my finicky children love everything we have prepared from this book. There are some wonderfully different, yet simple, recipes. All can be prepared quickly with excellent results. If I was forced to choose only one cookbook to keep, it would be this one. Lali

Review: Delicious! Impress friends with these fast and tasty meals. I'm stuffed full from the curried fried rice (p.226) that I made this evening.

Summary: You'll Love It!
Review: For anyone who has toyed with the idea of eating healthier, this book is for you! The recipes are quick, easy, interesting, and most of all, delicious! Many of my skeptical non-vegetarian friends have been very pleasantly surprised by the meal they've been served when they've come for dinner - "We didn't realize that you could eat this WELL without meat!" When they discover how simple the ingredient lists are, they usually go out and buy the cookbook for themselves... it's made many a new believer. (Of course, being from Ithaca myself originally, I also rave about the Moosewood Restaurant - and the amazingly talented folks that make up the collective - but this is a great way to bring the restaurant home into your own kitchen!) My husband and I use it several times each week; it is definitely our "Kitchen-Bible". I can't sing it's praises enough!

Summary: If you're looking for speed....
Review: For what it's supposed to be, a cookbook with recipes for people who are short on time, it is perfect. It also gives you many time-saving tips for your kitchen, including a section on stocking up your pantry. As a general, mostly-vegetarian cookbook, it doesn't quite satisfy. As these recipes are adequate for during the week when I'm exceedingly busy, there's nothing in this book that I would think twice about serving at a meal with guests. All in all, I would say that this book is ideal for vegetarians looking for quick meals and/or a beginner who needs easy and effective recipes.

Summary: Moosewood Can Cook With Me Any Time
Review: I am a cookbook fanatic and write a cooking column for a local newspaper. I use this cookbook more than all my other cookbooks combined. I have never made a bad recipe from this book, and many of their dishes are menu staples in our house. Their menu suggestions are right on target and often turn an already delicious homey dish into a company showstopper. I love the Carribean Black Beans with Mango Salso and Golden Spanish Rice. But then, I love just about every recipe in this cookbook. With three little kids to distract me when I cook, the short preparation times are a godsend. I fall at the feet of the Moosewood Collective in gratitude.

Summary: Genuinely fast and easy. Tasty, too!
Review: I bought the "Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant" cookbook a number of years ago and was disappointed with it because the recipes were not consistently good and were often time-consuming or complicated. So I came to this cookbook with a good deal of skepticism. Thus far, however, I've been extremely pleased with it. The recipes are genuinely fast and easy, most of the ingredients are readily available, and the resulting food has been delicious. I've gotten quite a few good ideas from this cookbook and use it often at home. With this cookbook I can make tasty, healthy meals for my family on busy weeknights. Highly recommended!
