love my Moosewood cookbooks so I knew I had to own this newest onea huge fullcolor tribute to the famous Moosewood Restaurant and it's favorite, most requested dishes.
It containsrecipessome new, some updated classics, It's been a pleasure to read through as the recipes each have introductions with the history of the recipe and Moosewoodsomething I love in a cookbook.
It isn't completely vegetarian as one might think, as there is a chapter of fish recipes, Since I eat fish once a week or so, this isn't a problem for me and I am looking forward to trying the Dukkahcrusted fish soon.
I have tried the Mulligatawny soup so farrich, warming and full of flavor, You can see my adaptation of the recipe and pictures of the dish on my blog post here: sitelink blogspot. com/
Fans of Moosewood should love this book, along with newbies who want a comprehensive mostly vegetarian cookbook with doable recipes.
Lots of great recipes that I'm looking forward to trying! Great assortment of new recipes that sound very interesting to try.
. . and healthy too! I'm most intrigued by many of the new fish recipes: CoconutCashewCrusted Fish, PecanCrusted Fish, Spicy Chipolte CornmealCrusted Fish.
There are also an assortment of interesting uptodate new sides/salads to try such as Lime Cilantro Slaw and Moroccan Carrot Salad with Currants.
I can't wait to try these recipes, And of course, since it is a Moosweood Restaurant cookbook, there are several new tofu recipes too.
I appreciate the fact that this cookbook includes information about the prep time involved for each recipe and also includes serving suggestions and other things to complement each recipe.
My only criticism is
that I wish there were photographs of the different recipes,
I received a complimentary online version of this book in exchange for a fair and unbiased review from NetGalley.
I'm going to begin with a caveatI did not request this cookbook, The publisher sent me this cookbook unsolicited for my review, I don't have any problem with them doing that, just want to be up front that this is not a cookbook I would normally request.
I am not a vegetarian or vegan and I don't eat soy products I don't think they're good for you, but I'm not going to start that argument here.
There is a LOT of tofu in this book! There are some interesting recipes and even some things I do myself already Roasted Cauliflower, Roasted Broccoli, etc, but over all, this really isn't my cup of tea.
The book itself is lovely with its colorful, padded cover, nice photos and heavy duty pages.
For someone who loves Moosewood recipes, this book would be a must, I'm giving it four based on the quality of the book, and the fact that it would be a great cookbook for a Moosewood Restaurant fan.
I received a copy of this book from St, Martin's Griffin Press for my honest review, All thoughts and opinions are my own, Moosewood Restaurant, founded in, revolutionized vegetarian cooking by introducing delicious soups, satisfying sandwiches, warming casseroles, zesty entrees, spiffy salads, and divine desserts.

Everyone should own a Moosewood cookbook and this is a perfect one to start or complete your collection.
It contains the favorite recipes served at the Moosewood Restaurant in Ithica, New York since thes.
Each recipe uses ingredients easily obtained at your local grocery store and can be completed in a reasonable period of time.
The variety is great! I can see myself cooking my way through every recipe in this one.
I was provided with an ARC and unfortunately every fraction in the ingredient section is missing its denominator.
Makes for some guessing on my part,
ARC provided by the publisher via Netgalley, We have been having lots of fun trialing cookbooks from the library! As the title says, these are old favorites, and a lot of them look very familiar to me an owner of.
counts books around me at leastother Moosewood cookbooks,
Recipes we tried from this book in the order that we tried them:
Summer Vegetable Curry
I was a little unsure after my first bite, but by the time I had cleaned my plate, I was certain that I loved this.
It took a bit of prep work, but not too bad, since I already had a curry mixture prepared left over from another Moosewood recipe and no I'm not certain that it was exactly the same mix of spices called for here.
This got mixed reviews from family: Lily said she was t crazy about it, because curry is "weird," but she cleaned her plate Neve just ate the rice and refused to try the curry.
We got six servings.
Thai Noodle Salad
I measured everything carefully, but I misread the recipe and addedCAN of coconut milk instead ofCUP of coconut milk.
Who writes a recipe forCUP of coconut milk what am I supposed to do with the rest of it
One note: recipes include but are not limited to soups, salads, starters, sides, sauces, about a dozen "curries and stews" recipes, a half dozen "casseroles" recipes, and about a dozen "pasta" recipes and over a dozen "fish" recipes, and lots of other interesting sections such as burgers, wraps, stuffed vegetables, and of course desserts, but no stir fry recipes, which is disappointing because that is the backbone of my summer cooking.
: We need to come back to this book again! The two recipes we tried were success, but nothing else was interesting during summer.
