Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers: Fresh Ideas for the Weeknight Table

I purchased the Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers cookbook for our daughter who is vegetarian, She prepared 5 of the recipes for us during the time she was home from college over winter break and we loved all of them. We were impressed that most of the ingredients were things we typically purchased and not difficult to find items. I am not vegetarian but I am going to order the book for myself for all the delicious healthy recipes,,..food lover in Iowa City

I originally checked this cook book out of the public library and then I re-checked it out again and when they wouldn't let me have it the third time I figured it was time to just buy it. I also bought 3 extras to give for gifts because I liked it so much. As a cook, I want simple, quick, delicious and healthy meals for my family. This cookbook offers all that! This is a great cookbook for both the seasoned cook and the beginner. The recipes are interesting but very easy and quick to prepare. I also like the suggestion box at the bottom of each recipe that tells you what to serve with the recipe so that you aren't just serving random dishes together. Very user friendly and lot of fun to cook with!

I'm a big fan of the Moosewood Restaurant cookbooks. As a vegetarian, it can be a bit of a challenge to find cookbooks that contain recipes with short ingredients lists, with simple easy-to-find ingredients, that have interesting and delicious flavor combinations. Moosewood accomplishes all of this in the Simple Suppers cookbook. This is the cookbook I use most often when determining what to make for dinner on a weeknight. The recipes are quick and do not disappoint when it comes to flavor and healthfulness!

This cookbook is perfect for people like me who eat fish, grains and lots of veggies, but no other "meats". I love the way they make suggestions for side dishes to go with their recipes. (I'm not too creative, so this helps a LOT!) Fabulous table of contents, clear cooking instructions and delicious recipes.

If you're looking for food that's healthy, tasty and easy to prepare, I don't think the Moosewood cookbooks can be beat. While I've only tried a couple of recipes from this new cookbook, they've both been good and simple to put together, and I'm looking forward to trying many more. I love to cook, and I love to try new dishes, but I'm also interested in staying slender and in not spending too much time in the kitchen: Moosewood achieves all of that for me. I especially appreciate their "serving and menu ideas," in which they make suggestions for what you may want to serve with the current recipe to make a whole meal -- very nice for entertaining. If you don't own any Moosewood cookbooks, the "Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home" is probably the one to start with. With that one and this one together, however, you'd have a formidable collection of recipes. Enjoy!
