Eating the Moosewood Restaurant way every day has never been easier.
Whole grains. Fresh fruits and vegetables. Lean, nutrient-rich fish. We all know the virtues of a well-balanced diet—of choosing foods that nourish our bodies and respect the environment—but as the world around us gets busier and more complicated, we also know how difficult it can be to prepare a wholesome, satisfying supper. With an emphasis on healthful natural foods, Moosewood Restaurant has operated successfully for more than thirty years and has been acclaimed as a driving force in the world of creative vegetarian cuisine. Now the Moosewood Collective goes back to basics with Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers to deliver fresh, imaginative, and quickly prepared dishes for the weeknight table that are also delicious and reliable.
Shortcut Chili. Creamy Lemon Pasta. Warm French Lentil Salad. Pine Nut–Crusted Fish. Mocha Sorbet. From soups and pastas made with just a few pantry essentials to crisp salads, stir-fries, sandwiches, and desserts, these easy-to-prepare recipes are brilliant as is. However, the folks at Moosewood realize that flexibility is the cornerstone of weeknight cooking, so you’ll find clever ingredient substitutions, alternative cooking methods, and serving suggestions alongside the recipes in Simple Suppers—it all depends on what’s in the fridge and what sounds appetizing at the moment. Make extra Fresh Tomato and Mozzarella Salad on Monday and toss leftovers with hot pasta for Tuesday’s supper. No onions for Black Beans with Pickled Red Onions? Try the beans over rice with Quick Avocado and Corn Salsa instead. The 175-plus recipes in Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers are as flexible as they are flavorful—the perfect go-to for a quick, healthy meal any day of the week, any time of year.
We crave simple food.
We want cooking at home to be a small pleasure—relaxed enough that we can enjoy the process as well as the results. When we mentioned to friends that we were thinking of doing a book of recipes for simple suppers, inevitably they exclaimed, “That’s the one I need” or “Write that book for me.” The idea of simple suppers strikes a chord within us all. We hope this cookbook will help make suppertime a welcome, peaceful time of your day. —from the Introduction

Summary: Fresh ideas for the weeknight table indeed!
Comment: This book (from the Moosewood Collective, NOT Mollie Katzen for those who remember that controversy) is perfectly named. It contains recipes for simple suppers suitable for the weeknight table. I can not remember making anything from this book for company. But lemon herb tofu gets made more weeks than not for us (also good with tempeh vs. the tofu). If you get the liquids at the proper depth (adjust the pan size or the amount of liquids), the pan glaze is even better than the tofu. Pine nut crusted fish is another regular (at least once a month). Come to think of it, maybe we need to have more friends over.
PS. It is not a vegetarian (much less vegan) cookbook. But it has enough vegetarian and vegan recipes to be of interest to people who are -- if you are comfortable cherry picking the ones you will eat.

Summary: I Copied My Daughter In Law in Cookbook Taste
Comment: My daughter in law had this cookbook on her Christmas list along with some of the other Moosewood Inn cookbooks. When we went to their house to visit, I browsed through this particular one and found some really good recipes and decided to order one for myself. I wasn't disappointed in most of the ideas but some I know my husband wouldn't care for!

Summary: Easy and delicious recipes
Comment: I'm not a vegetarian and normally my cookbooks languish unopened on my shelves, but this one has become a constant companion. The food is quick and easy to make, delicious, healthy, and creative. I've had so many requests for recipes after serving food from this cookbook.
