Product Description
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

Format:Hardcover
Full of interesting recipes that all work well and are a bit different.
All or most of the recipes a veggie based which is not a problem to me but will put of a hardened meat eater.
The downside is the book is aimed at an American market so the measurements are imperial (pounds and pints) and as I'm metric caused a few head scratch heads. I pasted a conversion table on the front inside cover. Also some of the ingredients are difficult to source or find alternatives but a quick search on the internet solved most problems.

This was a Xmas present for my wife but I had a quick flick before wrapping and can see her and I trying quite a few recipes. What sets it apart from other veggie cookbooks is the clarity of the recipes, the simplicity of the ingredients and the enthusiasm of the athors. We have a couple of their other books and I'm sure this will son become as oil-stained, tomato spattered as those.

Modern, easy, fast, fresh
1 Jan 2006
Format:Hardcover
I own all of the Moosewood books, and this one is already a favorite (along with Cooks at Home and Daily Specials). Simple Suppers reads like an updated version of Cooks at Home- the recipes are straightforward and easy to prepare, but original in the combinations of flavors and textures. Green Bean and White Bean Gratin contains green beans, pureed white beans and whole white beans layered with cheese and breadcrumbs for a filling winter meal. Navajo Stew combines roasted sweet potatoes with black beans and a quick blender tomato-chipotle sauce. Tortilla Melts are quick sandwiches of roasted mushrooms with pesto, tomatoes, and cheese. I made all of these in the past week and my husband and I both liked them a lot- good, unfussy food.
My only quibble is that it would be nice if nutritional information had been included. Many of the recipes are decidedly not light as written, but could be lightened fairly easily.

More great ideas from the Moosewood people
14 Nov 2005
Format:Hardcover
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!

outstanding vegetarian cookbook
18 Jan 2007
Format:Hardcover
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
