Credited with moving vegetarian cooking from the fringes of American society to mainstream dinner tables, Mollie Katzen has proved that there's more to salad than tossed greens. With fresh fruits and vegetables, pungent cheeses, beans, oils, herbs, and nuts, a salad can be a hearty meal in itself. Celebrating THE MOOSEWOOD COOKBOOK's 30th anniversary, the latest addition to the MOLLIE KATZEN'S RECIPES series brings together her classic salad combinations from MOOSEWOOD and ENCHANTED BROCCOLI FOREST in a convenient easel format. Each recipe is lovingly hand-lettered and illustrated with Mollie's distinctive pen-and-ink drawings, making this timeless collection the perfect kitchen countertop companion. A collection of 50 salad recipes from the best-selling author of THE MOOSEWOOD COOKBOOK, in a sturdy, compact easel format for easy reference while cooking. Katzen's books have sold more than six million copies. MOOSEWOOD was inducted into the James Beard Foundation Cookbook Hall of Fame for its "significant and enduring impact on the way we cook and understand food." Mollie Katzen was named by Health magazine as one of the five "Women Who Changed the Way We Eat."
