About the Author
Selected by Health magazine as one of the "Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat," Mollie is widely credited with moving healthful cooking from the fringe of American society onto mainstream dinner tables. Born in Rochester, New York, Mollie studied at the Eastman School of Music, Cornell University, and the San Francisco Art Institute, where she received a BFA in painting. Her classic Moosewood Cookbook, first published in 1977, was followed by The Enchanted Broccoli Forest (1982), Still Life With Menu (1988), and Mollie Katzen's Vegetable Heaven (Hyperion 1997). All of Mollie's books are vibrantly illustrated with her original artwork.

To inspire young cooks to explore the wonders of the kitchen, Mollie illustrated and authored the award-winning children's cookbooks, Pretend Soup (1994) and Honest Pretzels (1999). Mollie is now a featured writer and illustrator for Children's Television Workshop On-Line, and for Sesame Street Parents' Magazine.

Wonderful
This cookbook is great. It is so informative in terms of stocking the pantry and making substitutions. It is my first Moosewood but I expect there will be more. It is a must have.

Lightened Up!
I had the original of this cookbook and wore it out in the 70's and 80's. I'm trying to eat healthier and heard that the recipes had been lightened up. They are still great tasting and easy and inspire me to eat my veggies!

Review of Moosewood cookbook
It is hard to review a cookbook when one has tried only two recipes from the book. I first found the book at a coffee shop and was intrigued about how good the recipes sounded. This is a vegetarian book but there are soups, sauces, vegetables, dips, sandwiches, pies, etc. It is very varied. The recipes are hand printed, but perfectly readable, and most recipes are accentuated with drawings.I am very satisfied with my purchase.
