Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have one also. I need to get it out and look thru it. It has been a while. I have at least 100 cookbooks. I was trying to organize them this afternoon and came across it. Judy - Gytha Stonegrinder Monday, July 24, 2006 9:00 PM Re: Cookbooks You will LOVE the Moosewood Cookbook!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I sure have heard of her. She's a fantastic chef. Her food is to die for. Here's a link for you to check out: Mollie Katzen Online OR copy and paste to your browser: http://www.molliekatzen.com/ Jaonie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I scored the original 1977 copy of the Moosewood Cookbook this weekend at an antiques store. I am so excited! I haven't tried any recipes yet but there are a number of Moosewood Cookbooks and I have heard that they are all good. I check out the Daily Specials book from the library last week.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Love it! Love Mollie's recipes in this one and also her cookbook called Enchanted Broccoli Forest. Do yourself a favor and buy both. I say this over and again, but I feel like Mollie Katzen is the one who taught me most about cooking through her books; they were the first cookbooks I ever owned as a newbie vegetarian back when I was 18 years old and had just started out living on my own. I got sick of boxed mac & cheese and salads but didn't know how or where to begin to cook anything else. Those books helped show me the light! There are so many great vegetarian cookbooks out there now. Please browse through our files here. There is a folder titled cookbook recommendations. Go read some of the reviews members have shared here about their favorite cookbooks and you might find some more you want. /files ~ PT ~ A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. ~ Dave Barry ~~~*~~~*~~~> , " lindacronan " <lindacronan wrote: > > My doctor is vegetarian and he recommended the Moosewood Cookbook to > me.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi All, I am a new vegan but have been a vegetarian for about 30 years. Anyway, since I am trying to stay away from the fats and since I am not used to being completely dairy and egg-less I am thinking maybe it is time to buy a new cookbook. I would like to know which are the cookbooks that you find yourselves going back to again and again? Which ones deliver the most reliable dishes without needing to be constantly " fixed " ? Which ones have delicious yet not-too-time-consuming items? Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts, PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 My favorites are: the McDougall Quick and Easy Cookbook--well used and enjoyed any of the raw vegan books by Julie Wandling--VERY family friendly, Christian perspective (check out her website at www.Healthy4Him.com) Alive in 5 by Angela Elliott--raw vegan, quick and easy, great simple ideas! Raw Foods for Busy People by Jordan Maerin--simple, quick, tasty dips, snacks, soups, desserts, etc. The Joy of Natural Cooking by Marcella Lynch--my first vegan cookbook, stained and battered with use (might be hard to find--she has an updated version on her website http://www.tagnet.org/tasteofnature/index.html ) . Also available--great vegan cooking videos (Seventh Day Adventist perspective) HTH! MarilynStart the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Which ones deliver the most reliable dishes without needing to be constantly " fixed " ? Which ones have delicious yet not-too-time-consuming items? The books I've been using the most lately are Vegan with a Vengeance and Veganomicon, both my Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. The recipes are delicious, most can easily have the fat content reduced (except for some of the baked goods, that is), and many are quick and easy to make, as long as you have the ingredients on hand. These ladies use a *lot* of various spices and herbs. The next, and quickest, would be the Quick and Easy cookbook by the McDougall's, Mary and Dr John, MD. Most meals can be made in 15 minutes or under, as long as you have already-cooked rice and canned beans on hand. All of the McDougall recipes are very low fat, almost vegan (honey is used in some recipes) and starch-based (whole grains). And the McDougalls have plenty of other books out, and every copy of the McDougall newsletter has a recipe section, too. You can find hundreds of the recipes without leaving your computer. You can see the kind of stuff the Moskowitz/Romero books have at their website and forums at http://www.theppk.com , and the McDougall newsletter recipe archives are at http://www.drmcdougall.com . A web search will also turn up many more of their recipes that are on-line. Another book I refer to a lot is the New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook, edited by Hagler and Bates. Great, basic veggie fare in this book, but not always quick and easy. Shows how to make your own soymilk, tofu and tempeh, and other vegan basic foods. Great for the nostalgic pictures of the flower children of the 1960's, my generation, too! LOL Of course there are now hundreds of great vegan cookbooks out there - these are just the ones I use the most in recent times. If you're a beginner cook or new to vegan cooking, I strongly recommend Veganomicon, as the authors have not just fantastic recipes but all kinds of instructions and hints on how to cook vegan, including hints on how to modify the recipes to make them low fat, and the book as I think 4 different indices so you can find the recipe you're looking for 4 different ways. The best way to pick a new cookbook is to hang out in a good bookstore for a while with a pad and pen, going through as many cookbooks as you can find, copying recipes from each to try at home; ask for the books you're most interested in at your library, even if they have to do an inter-library loan to get them for you; find the authors' web sites and look for other recipes there. Then decide if the author cooks in a style *you* like. Many people have recommended to me the books by Sarah Kramer, Bryanna Clark Grogan, Joanne Stepaniak, Nava Atlas, Dreena Burton, and other vegan cooks, and although I do find a recipe here and there from each of their books, and do own at least one from each author, their style isn't the same as what my family prefers. Those might be a better fit for *yours* but the only way to know is to look at their recipes for yourself. Each has a web site, forum, blog, or other on-line presence, so a Google search will help you start your journey. Have fun, and say goodbye to any spare cash you have, because it's going to be hard to decide which ones to buy! LOL Sue in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 My favourite vegan cookbook is 'Vegan Vitality' by Diane Hill, who is actually a friend of my mums. It was published in the 80s when not as much ready made vegan stuff like cheese and milk was available so she even gives recipes for making your own! The recipes are great and mainly for good hearty food and nothing too fancy. There's also a good intro about vegan nutrition and tips for substituting eggs etc. My favourite recipes are the nut roasts and the lentil mousakka. You can get copies from ABE books for only a few quid as the book is quite old and out of print now I think.
