Book Review of New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant

New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant
reviewed on


I love this cookbook. We eat a lot of meat (every dinner), so I wasn't sure whether they would rebel at a lack of meat, but with these recipes, no one misses it. These recipes do tend to be full of dairy products and butter, just as a warning. They are yummy tho.

I've been making mostly the cassarole-type dishes because it's the easiest way to feed the hoard of college students (there are 7 of us). I've also make the pita recipe (very fluffy, but need to keep the oven really hot or they won't puff) and the muffin recipe (biscuit-textured, but delicious. They disappear immediately.)

The instructions are clear enough for a mere college student to handle, and the equipment requirements aren't too bad. We don't have that much kitchen stuff and we can manage it. Some of them do take a while -- the spinach lasagna was the most intense recipe I've ever made, but it was delicious.
