Book Reviews of Moosewood Restaurant New Classics
Book Review: This was an instant favourite!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first recipe I tried in this book was the Moosewood Muffins -- which I have now made over fifty times. Yes, they are that good! I actually wrote out the recipe and taped it on a kitchen cupboard so it would always be handy. You can vary it to include *anything*. Even graham crackers. Even three different types of nuts. It accomodates everything; that recipe is magic.
And all of the other recipes in this book are fabulous too. Like every Moosewood cookbook, there is a lot of variation; expect this book to take you everywhere from France, to Japan, and back to America for some vegetarian down home cookin'. The few fish recipes that are included are also excellent.
There are also menu suggestions, which make planning meals easy. And the recipes in this book are also more simple than The Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special or Moosewood Restaurant Celebrates -- though not quite as much as Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers, so it's a good middle ground.
If you like cooking, and you also love eating, and you want the food you serve to be healthy and delicious -- I highly recommend this book.
Book Review: my first cookbook!
Summary: 5 Stars
I stumbled on this, my first cookbook, in a pile of books left in my trunk months before by an old boyfriend. What a find! Not to mention, this was right after I went vegetarian.
Basically, this book showed me what I didn't realize cookbooks could be. I was impressed by the variety and uniqueness of the recipes, not to mention that every one made my mouth water!
The recipes are easy to understand, call for whole food, widely available ingredients, and are accompanied by valuable advice and menu suggestions.
I later got the moosewood "cooks at home" and liked a bit less than this one (no section on casseroles and baked dishes!)
Love New Classics!
Book Review: Great vegetarian cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I have made several dozen of the recipes contained in this book, and almost all have been something I would definitely make again! One feature I really enjoy is an estimated time required to both prepare and cook each dish, so you can easily thumb through, looking for something which fits your time schedule. One thing I did not appreciate was the excessive use of refined sugar in every single one of the dessert recipes. I assumed that Moosewood would be more concerned with making desserts and cookies with maple syrup, honey, etc., but unfortunately, I was wrong.Overall, I think the book is great and am planning to buy it as a gift for several family members.
Book Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this volume, along with another Moosewood collection, a little over a month ago. To say that I'm totally hooked would be an understatement. I've done more than twenty five of their wonderful recipes. Most are SO good I can't wait to make them again, but I keep finding more and more new ones to do and never get back to them. The soups in here are simply extraordinary, wonderful bean soups, rich vegetable soups, and the many vegetable sides are their equal.I suspect that Jane Brody's excellent Good Food Book, my kitchen bible, has been displaced by the Gospel according to Moosewood.
Book Review: this book is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book a few months ago and use it at least three times a week. It includes everything from dips to desserts, to larger dinner dishes that can be made and refigerated and brought to work for a cheerful, filling break in the day! I have even convinced my dad that you don't need to put meat in every meal to make things taste good. My personal favorites are the lasagna primavera, italian gratin, vegan chocolate cake, apple zuchini muffins...I guess I could go on and on!
good stuff here. I recommend it to anyone who likes to cook, eat, and feel healthy afterward.
