About the author

Mollie Katzen is a cookbook author and illustrator/designer, best known for her best-selling classics, Moosewood Cookbook (a 2007 inductee into the James Beard Cookbook Hall of Fame) and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest. Her nine other titles include a trilogy for children (Pretend Soup, Honest Pretzels, and Salad People) dubbed “the gold standard of children’s cookbooks” by the New York Times. Mollie has worked as a creative consultant for plant-based recipes and menus, most notably with Harvard University Dining Services, where she has served as a consultant on vegetarian cooking since 2003. She is a popular public speaker, specializing in culinary-medical conferences (in addition to other venues), helping to educate medical professionals on the links between food choices and health and prevention. Mollie’s newest book is The Heart of the Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New Generation (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, September 2013).

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2016I already had the original Enchanted Broccoli Forest so knew it contained excellent recipes, but pleased to
have the updated version and a nice almost new copy to replace my tatty old one.
The new version still has the delightful handwritten plus line drawing format
Try the pasta sauce with sprouts & mushrooms
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2010The recipes in this book are delicious, healthy, easy and fun to make. There is something for everyone, even if not vegetarian. Many of the recipes are impressive and beautiful looking, but are deceptively easy.
I highly recommend this cookbook. It is beautifully hand written and illustrated, making it that much more fun to use.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2014Yes this is an older style of cookbook, complete with black and white illustrations and hand-drawn lettering throughout, to the extent where the colour photos almost look out of place! Yet it is still one of my favourites, and contains recipes which are reliable, simple, but are always complimented.
The book starts with a table of conversions, imperial to metric, which I use frequently.
The chapters included are: soups, salads, breads, sauces dips and spreads, entrées, desserts, as well as chapters on menu-planning, improvisation of recipes, and lists of low fat and vegan recipes included.
Personally, I like the fact that it covers more than just the step-by-step recipes you get in some books. For instance, the chapter on tofu takes you through what sort to buy, how to marinade it etc... before it looks at individual recipes.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 September 2011We loved the original moosewood cook book: it had great basic veggie recipes and our book had fallen apart from use. So we got this one in the hopes of finding new staples for our palette and now those of our kids (i.e., we are looking beyond the chicken nugget).
Unfortunately, we have tried quite a number of recipes from this book and have found all of them essentially duds - not a single one has joined our favorite list. They seem esoteric and contrived to us, kind of thrown together rather than the excellent ones that were really used in the original restaurant. (The latter includes a great spinach lasagna, the former such oddly bland things as "hot marinated cauliflower".)
While it could be that these recipes are subtle variations for some hard-core vegetarians, my wife - who was a strict vegetarian for years, pre-me - finds nothing to recommend this book. In our view, the book really doesn't have anything genuinely new and good to add, but is a simple commercial knock-off.
Not recommended. We believe it is better to find vegetarian recipes that are found in ethnic cookbooks, in context, rather than slapped together make-shift books like this.

paul77Reviewed in Germany on 4 October 20085.0 out of 5 stars Ein geniales Kochbuch - auch für Anfänger
Ich habe dieses Kochbuch vor 20 Jahren in den USA kennengelernt und finde es immer noch genial. Wirklich ausgefallene vegetarische Rezepte, für die ungeübten Amis narrensicher erklärt und mit schönen Illustrationen und manchmal netten Sprüchen versehen. Absolut empfehlenswert, wenn man genug Englisch kann, um die Rezepte zu verstehen und die Maße umzurechnen.
Eclectic ReaderReviewed in the United States on 9 October 20235.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to Vegetable-Based Cooking
I actually had a copy of this book years ago that finally gave up the ghost and needed to be replaced. This author has so many tasty and creative options, that it is easy to whip up some delicious and filling options to expand on your repertoire of plant-based meals. Highly recommended, cute line drawings for illustrations, so not a coffee table book, but perfect for regular use in the kitchen. I also use these recipes for great options to bring to potlucks at work or elsewhere. Everyone loves them.
Blue IguanaReviewed in Canada on 14 September 20175.0 out of 5 stars The best - a true classic
After receiving the original nearly thirty years ago this is still my favourite vegetarian & overall cookbook. Recipes are guaranteed to work, be delicious & easy. The style of writing is warm & cosy which only adds to the happiness of using this book.
MelanieReviewed in the United States on 16 February 20005.0 out of 5 stars Sure to become a favorite!
Many different ethnic and cooking styles are represented in this beautiful cookbook. As with The Moosewood, this book is richly illustrated with hand drawings and includes color photos. The fat, dairy and egg content of many of the recipes has been significantly reduced without sacrificing taste! There is even a list of all the vegan, low-fat and nonfat recipes in the back of the book for easy reference. Chapters include: Soups, Salads, Breads, Sauces, Dips and Spreads, Entrees, Desserts, Menu Planning Notes, Improvisation Notes (for those chronic experimenters), and Bean and Grain Cooking Charts. Each food section has a list of recipes in the beginning in addition to the complete index in the back of the book. It is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
DivingdaveReviewed in Canada on 21 June 20175.0 out of 5 stars A must have for the baker
This is my second version of this. The first for quite a bit soiled by all the cooking we do. Overall, a great cookbook- but if you're reading this you already know that!
