The Moosewood Cookbook

The Moosewood Cookbook has inspired generations to cook simple, healthy, and seasonal food. A classic listed as one of the top ten best-selling cookbooks of all time by the New York Times, this 40th anniversary edition of Mollie Katzen's seminal book will be a treasured addition to the cookbook libraries of fans young and old.

In 1974, Mollie Katzen hand-wrote, illustrated, and locally published a spiral-bound notebook of recipes for vegetarian dishes inspired by those she and fellow cooks served at their small restaurant co-op in Ithaca, NY. Several iterations and millions of copies later, the Moosewood Cookbook has become one of the most influential and beloved cookbooks of all time—inducted into the James Beard Award Cookbook Hall of Fame, and coined a Cookbook Classic by the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Mollie’s Moosewood Cookbook has inspired generations to fall in love with plant-based home cooking, and, on the fortieth anniversary of that initial booklet, continues to be a seminal, timely, and wholly personal work. With a new introduction by Mollie, this commemorative edition will be a cornerstone for any cookbook collection that long-time fans and those just discovering Moosewood will treasure.

One of the first books to usher in the present-day food movement, this 40th anniversary edition of The Moosewood Cookbook presents the beloved vegetarian fare that revolutionized American eating by focusing on healthy, seasonal, and vegetable-centered cooking. This groundbreaking 40th anniversary edition includes a new introduction by the author and new guidance for vegan cooks. With sophisticated yet simple dishes and whimsical hand-drawn lettering, this is a revival that both long-time fans and those just discovering Moosewood will savor.
