Moosewood Cookbook: member book reviews

(3 reviews)

I definitely wish I had had this book when I was a vegetarian student who was just learning to cook. It would have improved the quality of my food no end.
But now I am over forty and on a low-carb diet, and especially now I know so much more about cooking, it just does not have that much to offer that I don't know yet.
I will probably give it to my vegetarian sister - she will probably enjoy it.

report

This is a great vegetarian cookbook with a surprising wealthy of various recipes for all courses. These recipes have a big reliance on dairy-based ingredients like yogurt, cottage cheese, milk and different cheeses. The index is very useful if you are trying to find all possible recipes for a particular ingredient like zucchini or buttermilk. If you want to look up a particular soup or cake recipe, you may have to go to that section of the book to find it. Breads are the smallest of all of the categories, but soups, appetizers and main courses are well represented. Most recipes turn out quite well. With the emphasis on adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet, cooking from the Moosewood Cookbook is an easy way to accomplish that.

report

This is definitely a classic, as you can see by the number of editions they've printed. It's a useful book to dig into for solid vegetarian choices, though at one point when I was cooking a lot from the book, every meal began to have a similar taste of onions and oregano. Not a fair criticism, though, since there's a lot of variety, just something that seemed to crop up a lot!
