When the first Moosewood Cookbook came out my freshman year of college, it was really novel. The cookbook was whimsical appearing to the point of almost distraction. Certainly the indexing was done by a rank amatuer when it came to cookbooks (and is sharply contrasted by the obsessive Mastering the Art of French COoking, which was in wide circulation long before this came out). It was a vegetarian cookbook that was easy to use, fun to cook from, and with the exception of just a handful of other cookbooks published at about the same time, one of a kind. It changed my cooking life.
Now, 30 plus years later, the Moosewood Collective is still putting out quality cookbooks that provide new ideas for cooking vegetarian and vegan food. THis book has some great additions to what has been published before, more vegan recipes than they often do, and as is their usual, good nutrition data, easy to follow recipes, and delicious sounding. Bravo!
