Summary: Veggie cookbook? Could have fooled me...
Review: As a non-vegetarian who is allergic to a slew of common veggies and fruits (including apples, nuts, and carrots), I have also, over the years, become allergic to vegetarian cookbooks. This cookbook was loaned to me by a friend who knows about my allergies, and upon first inspection, I found 20 recipes I am not only interested in trying (although I haven't yet tried them), but that I can prepare without having to substitute anything. Lots of variety, lots of off-the-beaten-path ingredients. I didn't even notice it was a vegetarian cookbook until I got to Amazon to order it and read the reviews. I am truly looking forward to getting my own copy and trying out some of these recipes.

Summary: this book is great!
Review: 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.

Summary: My favorite vegetarian cookbook!
Review: I bought this book only 2 weeks ago and have tried more than a dozen recipes. The recipes are innovative, eclectic, and very easy and delicious. I had recently become a vegetarian and the book has made it fun and exciting. The tofu salad is excellent, so are the roasted winter veggies, the sweet patato pancakes, oatmeal-banana pancakes, the Tilghman Island Stew, valle d'Aosta cabbage soups, etc. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in some new ways of making vegetarian cuisine that are inspired by a variety of ethnic traditions.

Summary: Delicious vegetarian fare
Review: I bought this cookbook recently and have already tried about a dozen of the recipes. The strawberry salad dressing was excellent, even made with frozen berries. The Greek lasagna with eggplant and chocolate cherry biscotti also were quite good. I made the asparagus leek strudel for guests, and the entire panful was devoured in no time flat. The recipes that I've tried have been interesting and well-seasoned as written. I have even enjoyed just sitting at the kitchen table, reading this cookbook like it's a novel.

Summary: Wow!
Review: 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.

Summary: Getting rid of this one right away!
Review: I have four other Moosewood cookbooks and could not find one recipe in this one that I wanted to make! The dishes are strange and unappealing and most seem to involve a lot more preparation time and unfamiliar ingredients (seaweed and goat cheese, for instance) than previous cookbooks. Get this one only if you are adventurous and love to spend lots of time preparing your meals.

Summary: Great vegetarian cookbook
Review: 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.
