Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home: Fast and Easy Recipes for Any Day

This book has amazing recipes for vegetarians. They are delicious, easy to follow and healthy. Highly recommend.

I love this cookbook!When I moved from VA to KY five years ago, I let my husband talk me into giving away many books, including my cookbooks. SILLY ME!Add this book to your collection!

I'll start off by saying that I have had his cookbook since 2009. The recipes span its audience- we used this cookbook before kids, after having kids, and also the entire time while we have both been working full time and child rearing. We have gifted it multiple times as well. The recipes are easy and delicious. My personal favorite is the Sweet Potato Salad. We have used this cookbook so many times that the binding is falling apart. I love it. The recipes never get old! Highly recommend as a primary cookbook.

Excellent book. Love the recipes.

Although I love this book I didn't give it a full five stars because A) there are no pictures and B) I felt that the recipes would probably not appeal to everyone.It is a personal favorite precisely because it is unusual. My family especially loves the African Pineapple Peanut Stew and Chick Pea and Artichoke Heart Stew, but we've enjoyed all of the dishes I've tried so far. There are some recipes that might be more familiar such as Mushroom and Smoked-Cheese Pizza and Curried Fried Rice.Most of the recipes would fit a vegan diet, but some do include fish, eggs and dairy products. At the back of the book there is a list of nondiary and vegan recipes as well as lists of special dishes for entertaining, kid-pleasers, dishes that sit well and are suitable for a buffet, and 30-minute dishes.Most of the recipes are fairly quick and easy to prepare. There are a lot of fresh ingredients used, so that could take more time. Be aware that many of the ingredient lists contain things like finely chopped onion, chopped fresh thyme, fresh grated cheese. Unless you are a very quick chopper you will need to buy prepared ingredients or elicit some help in the kitchen to get dinner on the table in less than 45 minutes.I bought this book with the intention of including more vegetables, fruits and legumes in my diet. I have accomplished that and becuase the recipes are so flavorful we don't miss the meat at all.

This is the most used vegetarian cookbook in my library. The recipes are reasonably fast, simple and tasty. I haven't been disappointed by a single recipe so far. Off to the side of each recipe the book gives you fuller menu options from other recipes in the book. It also gives you a brief description of just what it is that you are making. In addition to me being satisfied with the meals that come out of this book, my children (ages 4, 7, and 9) are also very satisfied. It is a big hit for the entire family. I find with most recipes that I can start making dinner at 5:00 and we can be seated and eating by 6:00. The recipes I've made so far are quite simple to make and most enjoyable to eat. My favourite recipe to date is the black bean soup. It is quick and easy to make if you use canned beans and produces a rich and satisfying meal that we all love. This is definitely a great cookbook for anybody, but especially for somebody that doesn't have several hours to spend on making dinner.

Many times I prepare meals from MOOSEWOOD cookbooks. This cookbook is one of the best. Its recipes are even easy for beginning cooks.

A first cookbook for a college age granddaughter -- it's a classic!

I have only made a few recipes from this book (I tend to forget about my cookbooks and search online for recipes <sigh>) but everything I have made has been easy to make and quite fantastic. I must get it out again!

... once for me and once for a friend for Christmas.Great recipes very clear instructions and most important - TASTY!

Suppe + Salat + Brot = daily special = Klingt öde? Nein, so einfach kann gutes Kochen sein und so lautet auch das langjährige Erfolgsrezept des Moosewood Restaurants. Die Rezepte sind einfach nur toll, kreativ, einfach und ungewöhnlich.Ich habe im Urlaub ein paar wirklich gute Suppen und Stews gegessen und auf die Frage, woher die guten Rezepte kommen, wurde mir dies Buch gezeigt und - wieder zuhause - habe ich es gekauft.Es sind nicht nur genial einfache und leckere Suppenrezepte im Buch, sondern auch gleich Anregungen gegeben, welche Salate und Ergänzungen dazu passen.Wer abends nicht das obligatorische belegte Brot mag, nicht länger in der Küche stehen möchte und sich dennoch gern gesund ernährt, wird mit dem Buch sehr zufrieden sein.Wenn man abends gerne etwas Warmes, aber nicht mehr lang kochen mag, nach einem längeren Arbeitstag, oder wer einfach etwas leichtes Vegetarisches essen möchte, kann man hier fündig werden.Eine spontane Einladung für Freunde - mit diesem Kochbuch auch kein Problem. Zum Daily Special noch ein netter Nachtisch und alles ist perfekt.Das Buch ist englisch, aber sehr einfach. Man muß die Mengen umrechnen, aber das kann man sich ja einmal ins Buch schreiben, wieviel z. B. 1 Ounce (= 28,35, also rund 30 g) ist.Davon abgesehen gibt es nicht viel Mengenangaben, eher 1 Tasse, 1 Stück des Gemüses, 1 Messerspitze, 1 Teelöffel etc.Die englischen Gemüse- und Gewürzbezeichnung kann man auch schnell nachschlagen und sie sind ja auch leicht zu merken, die Vorgänge unkompliziert, so dass auch hier keine Hürden auftauchen.Die meisten Rezepte sind vegetarisch, einige auch vegan, manche pescetarisch.Und wenn das Rezept auch noch so einfach klingt (wie etwa die Tuscan Bean Soup), das Ergebnis ist umwerfend gut!

This has been my favourite cookbook for many years. The recipes are laid out simply and clearly, with the amount of time needed to prepare. Best of all, the recipes are healthy and scrumptious. I also like the suggestions for what to serve with each dish. I have bought this cookbook as a gift for a few people.

Sadly this book, although listed as Creative Gardening, it was in fact Fast and Easy Recipes. The quality of the book was very good and if I find a candidate that would benefit from this title, I would have no hesitation in buying it. Eventually tracked down the correct book via Amazon and my daughter is delighted with it
