Jane Brody's Good Food Book
By Jane Brody
W. W. Norton and Company, Inc. - 1980
Winter Squash Stuffed with Apples and Cheese : page 401
I'm rating this because it says it's inspired by the version in the Moosewood Cookbook (but the Moosewood version is the one I made). The recipes are nearly identical, with the exception that Brody uses 2 tablespoons less butter for sauteeing the onions and apples. (I suspect that there's so much cheese in this recipe that it can lose the extra butter easily.)
Brody also does a major service by converting Katzen's more homey amounts (juice of one lemon, 2 apples chopped) into measurable ones (1/4 c. lemon juice, 3 cups chopped apples). I had some questions about the consistency of my filling (it seemed watery), and I think I wouldn't have if I followed these amounts.

Steamed Kale : page 522
A dead-simple preparation. Honestly, I can't think of a vegetable which isn't better with olive oil and garlic. You could punch this up with chiles, or go more Southern with onion and pork. As is, it's got a pleasant simplicity.

Brussels Sprouts with Lemon-Mustard Sauce : page 514
My other recipe for this sauce uses more butter, but this lighter version trades richness for a very pleasant acidity.

Turkey Tetrazzini : page 363
Not a bad recipe. Not quite enough sauce for my taste, but that might be another case of needing to bake in a wider pan. Could use some additional herb and spice notes.
