review 1: This book is beautiful, with lovely full-color photographs. At the same time, when you read it, it feels as homey as one of the Moosewood Cookbooks, famously produced in Mollie Katzen's handwriting. What I love about Katzen's vegetarian cookbooks is that while they are not free of tofu (which to me is like the vegetarian version of Campbell's cream of chicken soup), they tend to use simple less processed ingredients. And this one is no exception.I have never had a bad experience with a Katzen recipe -- and that is more than I can say for many a more famous cookbook author (I don't know if I have ever lucked into a Martha Stewart recipe that came out as promised). That said, I haven't tried any of these yet, but I have my eyes on a few. In the unlikely event that they turn ... moreout disastrously, I will be sure to let you know.
review 2: Who doesn't love Mollie Katzen and her great hand illustrated cookbooks? While this one isn't hand illustrated (except for the beautiful end pages)it has the same spirit of those old beloved books (and in classic Mollie style has zero smug veg pretension). Great inspiration whether you eat everything (and just like veggies) or don't do animal products at all. I haven't had a chance yet to try everything that sounds good (and the book is due back at the library) so I'll probably update again after I've tried a few more. Very recommended!*Curried Cauliflower Stew with Onion Pakoras**Very Simple Lentil Stew with Cottage Cheese Dumplings**Mushroom Stroganoff over Cabbage "Noodles" with Toasted Barley Dumplings**Golden Lentils with Soft, Sweet Onions**Celery-Almond-Date Saladita* less
