Moosewood Cookbook
Feels Like Home
I have the Sundays at Moosewood Cafe cookbook, so I was looking foward to my copy of the 40th Anniversary edition of the Moosewood Cookbook Collective. Soon as you open the cover, the handwriting invites you in. You feel like you're reading a dear friend's or dear relative's secret stash of delicious recipes.
The dishes are not exactly high-end gourmet, the kind of dishes you'd find at French Laundry, Bistro LQ, Melisse -- but they are the foods we eat and can enjoy everyday. Foods like guacamole, ginger carrot soup, pesto. This cookbook is great for anyone new to cooking, especially healthy cooking. I like the updates to lower fat and calorie content. There are no drop-dead gorgeous photographs, no food porn here. Homey reminder you it's about the food and sometimes the simpler, the better.
