Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home: Fast and Easy Recipes for Any Day

By Moosewood Collective
Fireside - 1994

I love this book - its my favorite of the Moosewood series. The recipes have proven to be pretty reliable (I've prepared nine dishes, and have many more marked to try), they are easy, and they tend to not require too many specialized ingredients. Many of the dishes take 30 minutes or less, and they taste great.

The book has a dinner focus - with soups, salads, grains, beans pastas, etc. But there are also some egg dishes, a few pancakes, and some sandwiches and pizzas.

Each recipe has a side bar that suggests what can be added to make a full meal. The time requirements listed are close (probably we are a bit slower than most). The cookbook also has a detailed section on ingredients and cooking techniques.

This book would make an excellent gift for anyone starting out on their own. Its equally good for the experienced cook.
