Summary: These recipes are almost as good as eating at the Moosewood
Review: I own all of the Moosewood Cookbooks and this book is most likely my favorite. All of the cookbooks are wonderful and the recipes are always great. This book combines the simple goodness of the Moosewoods normal recipes (vegetarian, but not *weird* vegetarian) with a decided ethnic flare. I am not a vegetarian but with recipes like these you don't even notice that they are vegetarian recipes. This book is especially nice because of the many cultures that are highlighted as well as the in depth information that is given about each area or culture. Because each section is edited by different authors you get a real feel for each region as well as each author. It is truly a delightful book.

Summary: This is my most-used cookbook.
Review: I've used Sundays at Moosewood so much that it has fallen apart into three pieces, and I need to buy a new one. The book is a good read--all of the authors introduce their regional sections with an essay about the culture and cuisine of, say, the North African highlands (my personal favorite). This is followed by a very satisfying variety of recipes from each area covered. The recipes are good! Dishes from Ethiopia, the Philipines, Japan, South Africa, and even England have become staples in my kitchen. I love this book.

Summary: Even the picky children of the authors agree!
Review: My father was one of the lead contributors on this cookbook (he wrote the English food section). I grew up involved in Moosewood and was always a firm believer in McDonald's as a result. However, as I grew up I became a bit more adventuress in my eating habits. And as an adult I use this cookbook very often. It is my favorite of the Moosewood bunch - and about as close to eating at the world famous restaurant as being there. Don't be fooled - the "original" Moosewood cookbook isn't actually indicative of the restaurant itself. Sunday's at Moosewood, however, is the real deal! Come visit them in Ithaca some time! We're a beautiful town and we serve some good food!

Summary: Dude, I don't know; I'm tired.
Review: so what the heck am I doing with a vegetarian cookbook?!?? Well, I was given the book and some suggestions -- Sopa de Lima (from the Mexico section) and Saffron Butterflies. But it's a veggie cookbook, so it just sat on my shelf -- until I had dinner with the person who gave it to me. It wasn't until AFTER dinner, she told me it was recipes from this book -- the meal was so good, I didn't even notice it was meatless. So, I tried them, and now I'm HOOKED! Sopa de Lima is great food for during halftime of basketball and football games -- and I later found out I can make it fast and easy with some simple substitutions (hint: use a jar of salsa instead of a bunch of other ingredients). Saffron Butterflies is SMOOOOOOOTH and good -- with or without some meatballs thrown in. These two were so good I've had to try others and now "Rumpledethumps" (silly name, but GREAT DISH) is a personal favorite -- I just use it as a side dish along with a London Broil. Okay, so I'm a carnivore -- these recipes are great standing alone, and most of them work well with meat added or on the side. More than just the great recipes, this book is great for the stories, too. I never would have thought cookbooks make good reading, even when I'm not cooking, but this one is.

Summary: The best vegetarian cookbook
Review: Sundays at Moosewood is the cookbook that convinced us that eating vegetarian can be delicious and does not have to be boring. We like to entertain and can always find great recipes for dinner parties and special occasions. Try Dolma and try the Orange and Mushroom Salad (we add avocados).

Summary: Great receipes when you have lots of time
Review: The few dishs I have cooked from this book have been wonderful and the book itself it good reading. But beware, almost all of the receipes feature very long lists of ingredients. Nice for lazy weekends when you feel like puttering in the kitchen, but not an everday book for someone on the go.

Summary: Everyday at the Moosewood!
Review: The recipes and helpful advice within these pages make it an indispensible book in any creative cook's kitchen. From their Shepherd's pie, Cheese and Pepper Enchiladas to the Poached Peaches with Raspberry Puree these recipes are sure to please even the most particular foodie. The pages within my copy are well worn as well! It's well worth the purchase price!

Summary: pushing it
Review: This is a fairly good cook book that seeks to expand on the earlier Mossewood series of outstanding vegetarian eating ideas. Perhaps it is that I have gotten a lot of them and have grown tired of the style, but we hardly got into any of these recipes - they did not make it into the pantheon of great meals we like to serve friends over and over, which the earlier versions did. As such, we felt that this book is over-reaching a bit.

Summary: Vegetarian cooking at its best
Review: This is a very good reference cookbook. There are dishes of different ethnic origin, and the book has complete salad to dessert listings. One of my favorites is the vegetarian version of the Reuben sandwich. (I never had a use for tempeh before, but this recipe uses it in place of corned beef.) This book is a real treasure.
