I love this cookbook. When I was a college student, I could putter around with Moosewood recipes for hours and feel great accomplishment. Now, I work, and have three daughters, so there's not much extra time. The recipes in this book are tasty, and QUICK! The seasonal menu ideas are very helpful too. There are also guidelines for lowering fat/salt contents of many recipes. A great cook book!

IF you don't know how to vegetarian cook.... IF you know veggie cooking is good for you, but...... IF you need a short note on "what it is!!" on each recipe... IF you need somebody to lead you around the grocery store... IF you need complete meal recipes... AND you don't have a lot of time! GET THIS COOKBOOK !! After you use it, you will discover that you have the best veggie cookbook you'll ever see.... I wish you could see mine - it is almost in shreads from use. I'll be into my second print soon.

This woman loves her job!

This is a truly outstanding cookbook, the one that I have relied on the most for a decade. I feel lucky to have bought it. The recipes for the most part, don't call for a lot of exotic expensive ingredients. The recipes are doable for everyday meals but very well crafted, having just enough of a gourmet touch that the food tastes superb, you feel like a great cook and you won't feel embarrassed to serve them to guests.

It's the kind of book that has lots of recipes that you'll make more than once because they're tasty, not too difficult and when you eat the results, you feel really nourished and cared for. Martha Rose Shulman's presentation style and storytelling is masterful as well, making the cookbook interesting and pleasurable to read.

I'm so sad that this book is out of print. My paperback copy is falling apart and I'd love a spiral bound replacement. I can still use mine, but I was hoping to order two or three copies for friends who liked the food I made using this cookbook.

This book contains information on a large selection of staples, beans, grains and herbs, including how to combine to create healthly dishes. It also contains seasonal menus and suggestions for complimentary dishes. The recipe for white bean soup is the best I have ever tried

This is one of the best cookbooks that I have ever used. I particularly like the explanations of various foods and the shopping lists that Ms. Shulman includes in her book. The seasonal menus are excellent and really help me to plan meals that are balanced. I've recommended this book to many of my relatives and friends.

I was really looking forward to this cookbook for some fast vegetarian recipes. I'm sure there are some great recipes in here, but there is nothing "FAST" here. Maybe someone thinks 20 minutes prep time and 50 minutes cooking is fast, but that's not my definition of fast. All the recipes are from scratch and all the legume recipes start with overnight soaking. Other then that, the book was shipped fast and arrived in good condition.

I've had this book since the early 1980s. It's my most battered and beloved cookbook, completely useful, easy, and tasty, even after all those decades.
