Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I actually learned that Molly Katzen wasn't vegetarian anymore a couple of years ago when I attended a book signing event at a local bookstore for her book, " The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without " . She mentioned that she wasn't vegetarian any longer or that she ate some kind of meat at times (I can't remember exactly). I was also disappointed to hear that. I like the book, though!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 She's been " outing herself " as a non-vegetarian in interviews for years. I remember on her old cooking show from the mid-90s, she talked about eating fish.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I decided after purchasing (and then returning) Mark Bittman's vegetarian cookbook that I will not again purchase vegetarian/vegan cookbooks that are written by non-vegetarians. I gave him a scathing review on amazon.com. Jacquelien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi Connie, Yeah, I heard an interview with Molly years ago saying she never was a vegetarian, just ate vegetarian food often and was very interested in cooking it, but a myth grew about her and people actually didn't believe her when she said she wasn't a vegetarian. She said she always told people, all these years, but rumors as they are, this one wouldn't go away, and she wasn't able to right it until that interview. :-) I thought it was strange, too . but I'm still so grateful for the Moosewood books that taught us so much in the beginning of our vegetarianism, and are still some of our go-to cookbooks!

She can't seem to decide if she is a vegetarian over the years or not. The article that I cited, where she said she was a vegetarian for 30 years, was written by Newsweek (a publication with fact checkers, that would have asked her directly how long she had been a vegetarian before printing that information). I have no doubt in my mind that the " 30 years " info came directly from the horses mouth in regard to that article. Jacqueline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Why shall we depress or worried that people are vegetarian or not ? We do for our own self, so we should be proud ... actually it;s the person who give up, should feel it.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Jatin asked: " Why shall we depress or worried that people are vegetarian or not? " Because an injustice is taking place on a massive scale. We can idly sit by and watch it happen, or try to speak out and care about what others do, and hope they stop participating. The same statement above, by Jatin, could be applied to every social/injustice cause that has ever been around... slavery, civil rights, etc. Jacqueline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Oh funny, I actually really love Bittmans book. I think it is chockfull of basic info and has some really tasty easy ideas. What was it that you didn't like out of curiosity?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Sheramy, There are SO many reasons I didn't like this book and ended up returning it to Amazon.com and getting a refund. If you look that book up on Amazon.com and go to the review area you will see my review (VegBlogger.com) as one of the 2-star reviews for that book. Didn't like it at all... I think it's a prime example of a non-vegetarian trying to cash in on the vegetarian movement. He was not genuine or sincere in his approach. My review is long, but gives examples of what I didn't like.

You know, I'm really not surprised. The Moosewood books always were " take a pound of butter, a pint of cream, and half a dozen eggs... " The last one I got (from the library, the only cookbooks I buy are the PPK ones) was half fish recipes! FISH! NOT A VEGETABLE! (Sorry for the shouting. But I'm sure you all know where I'm coming from.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
