The Moosewood Collective has had big vegetarian cookbook success with other collections. The main aim of this addition to their list is to offer much-needed help to those who need recipes for speedy preparation. Most take less than 30 minutes preparation. Recipes include stir-fries, salads, sandwiches, bean dips, soups, scones, pancakes and desserts. Almost all are vegan, with dairy products offered only as optional extras, though there is a separate section on fish and eggs. Winner of the 1995 James Beard Award for vegetarian cookbooks.
Product Description
Winner of the 1995 James Beard Award for Best Vegetarian CookbookAlthough many people think that cooking without meat means spending more time in the kitchen, the cooks at the world-renowned Moosewood Restaurant know this isn't so. Busy balancing home, work, and other commitments, they've been cooking for family and friends every day of the week for over twenty years. Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home is the result of that experience -- over 150 carefully honed and tested recipes calling for the best ingredients, accompanied by time-saving tips and planning suggestions, add up to a delicious whole-foods cuisine that is versatile and healthful and can be prepared with a minimum of effort. This book contains dishes full of exciting flavors, sure to please every taste, from savory soups to substantial main-dish salads, from hearty stews to palate-teasing "small dishes." Sauces, salsas and dressings, and a collection of almost-instant desserts turn the simplest meal into an occasion. Chapters on techniques and menu planning, lists of recipes for special needs, including nondairy and vegan fare and kid-pleasing food, as well as an in-depth guide to stocking the meatless pantry (including a list of recommended convenience foods), make Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home the essential companion to everyday cooking.

 Longtime Fan August 20, 2008
Jenny J. Okamoto (Chicago, IL)
I've used my Moosewood cookbooks forever. The fish packet recipes are excellent and impress dinner guests. They also freeze well. Our favorite is the Asian, I haven't tried the French version yet.
 Great weeknight meals! August 14, 2008
laspgh (Pittsburgh, PA)
I love this cookbook. The recipes are delicious and best of all they are easy enough to prepare after the work-day. I would highly recommend this book for people looking to eat healthfully during the week, but don't have time for long preparations and piles of pots and pans once the meal is over. I'll be buying the Moosewood Simple Suppers cookbook next.
Great! February 22, 2008
Joan Marie Nelson (Sedro-Woolley, Wa.)
This has been great to go with her other book, simple cooking. I do wish it was in a binder type cookbook. Would be easier to use in the kitchen. Has great recipes.
My first and (might as well be) only cookbook January 18, 2008
Meredith (Southwestern Virginia, USA)
I've had this cookbook since I was an intern right out of college, and it has been my favorite ever since. I especially like the fish recipes, the chick pea artichoke heart stew, and veggie chili recipes. I find that with the lower fat recipes, I can usually eat as much as I want, and still know that I am maintaining a healthy weight, which I struggle with usually. I am buying this book today for my mom, who is now living alone and needs healthy easy recipes. My husband likes it too, since the meals are hearty (he's 6'-5"). I usually make a double recipe and freeze half in individual servings. I highly recommend this, especially for new cooks and busy people, since the recipes are all reasonably quick (like, 45 minutes to an hour). It may not be for gourmets, since there are a lot of pre-prepared foods used (canned beans and vegetables.) You could always substitute your own soaked dry beans if you were feeling ambitious, but the cookbook is great because it uses lots of shortcuts. I highly recommend the book, and I'm not even vegetarian!
Incredible cookbook January 17, 2008
green girl (Los Angeles)
This is a wonderful cookbook for those who typically cook a strict, healthful diet, but it will also fool our friends and family who aren't ready to give up their poor diets. Easy to follow recipes.
