The Moosewood Cookbook

The Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen is a culinary treasure that has profoundly influenced home cooking for generations. This 40th anniversary edition revisits the rich legacy of a cookbook that was first handwritten and illustrated by Katzen in 1974. Originally a local spiral-bound notebook of vegetarian recipes inspired by dishes at a small restaurant co-op in Ithaca, NY, the book has evolved through multiple iterations into one of the best-selling cookbooks of all time. It has been recognised by the New York Times as a classic and remains an indispensable resource for fans of simple, healthy, and seasonal cooking.

The fortieth anniversary edition celebrates the enduring charm and relevance of Katzen's work. With its endearing hand-drawn illustrations and whimsical narrative style, the book reflects the personal touch and love Katzen invested in creating it. The Moosewood Cookbook's recipes range from hearty soups and fresh salads to delectable main dishes and comforting desserts, all designed to inspire a love for plant-based eating. Each recipe is not only approachable but also a delightful journey into the world of vegetarian cuisine.

This commemorative edition features a new introduction by Mollie Katzen, offering readers insights into her creative process and the evolution of her culinary philosophy over the past four decades.
