Product Description

From Amazon.com

The first Moosewood Cookbook--loved for its cozy, comforting food--mused oil, eggs, and dairy products so lavishly that it was extensively revised in 1992 to fit our changing diet. Now, the Moosewood Collective takes an even more extreme step: recipes in Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites are so intentionally healthful that they put the word right on the cover of this chubby book filled with lean recipes (many dishes get the fat down to a modest 16-17% of their total calories). Still, the 280-plus recipes offer the bold, pan-ethnic flavors that have won the Moosewood Collective cookbooks so many fans.

From Publishers Weekly

The Moosewood Collective delivers toothsome fare for health-conscious carnivores as well as vegetarians in their latest collection (which joins Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant, Moosewood Restaurant Cooks for a Crowd, etc.). With an average of 16% of calories from fat, these 250 recipes rely on fruits, vegetables and grains for high variety, taste and nourishment. A brief introduction gives general tips for low-fat cooking and eating; e.g., use evaporated skim milk in place of cream, applesauce instead of oil. Recipes range from appetizers to savory soups, Mediterranean- and Asian-inspired dishes, main dish salads and desserts. Most appealing is finding low-fat variations on familiar favorites: cottage cheese adds heft without calories to both Guacamole and Macaroni and Cheese; Another Shepherd's Pie is hearty with vegetables, a mashed potato crust and flourless mushroom gravy. Penne with Creamy Walnut Sauce might even fool a fat lover. Herbs and spices are used lavishly and to excellent effect: in Sweet and Sour Lentils, Asian seasonings (ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar) substitute for curry. Each recipe is followed by nutritional analysis and menu suggestions. Illustrations not seen by PW. One Spirit, Good Cook and Prevention Book Club selections; BOMC alternate; authors tour.

5.0 out of 5 stars A blessing for vegetarians watching their fat intake!, May 16 2004

By	Cecily (CA United States) - See all my reviews

I got this cookbook because:
1) I am vegetarian
2) I follow a low fat diet
3) I love to cook

I have made many, many of the recipes in this book, and they've been a hit almost every time (well, no cookbook is perfect). There are no glossy pictures -- this is a cook's book. There are several indexes of recipes (10% or less in fat, vegan, children's favorites, etc) as well as "menus" in the back -- new year's, thanksgiving, east asian, tex mex, etc.

Some of the recipes are very time consuming to make (there are quite a few 30 minute or less recipes listed in the back, however), and some of the ingredients are not always easy to find. However, this is *not* meant to be a book of "quick and easy recipes." I have broadend my palate by searching out some of the more unusual ingredients.

The recipes DO call for oil (usually 1-2 teaspoons), low fat cheeses, and (in the dessert section) chocolate. Don't think is a no-fat-no-flavor cookbook. They've kept the feeling of self-denial at bay. There is also a section of fish and seafood recipes, for those so inclined. <><

2.0 out of 5 stars Moosewood, your roots are showing..., Feb 4 2002

By A Customer

Granted, when you're proud of your roots this isn't such a bad thing, but I sense a definite rut forming here. People's tastes in food are personal and widely varied--and the postings for Moosewood's books indicate a lot of folks like them just fine, but my experience has been much more mixed.
I have three Moosewood cookbooks (New Moosewood by Mollie Katzen/Moosewood Cooks at Home/Moosewood Low-fat). I have chosen to post my review with this title because, while my feelings here apply to all the books, this one in particular I found most lacking. The reason I have three Moosewoods is because two were given to me because the previous owners found they didn't earn their shelf space, the other--my first Moosewood--I bought years ago when collecting vegetarian cookbooks.
To my tastes, the recipes in these books never really paid off. The ones I tried weren't terrible (though a few from the low-fat book were close), but none were memorable and none even came close to making it into my permanent recipe collection. I was surprised at the lack of complex, sophisticated flavors considering the books world-culture approach.
I think Moosewood deserves a lot of credit for introducing new foods and flavors to the American dinner plate years before anyone else I know of was (at least in a mainstream sense), but where Moosewood seems to be very content reexamining the same territory, other cooks have moved the process forward to provide recipes that satisfy our increasingly grown-up tastes and streamlined preparation needs. I have to wonder if it isn't Moosewood's friendly, co-operative philosophy coupled with a general nostalgia that keeps their readers so faithful.

3.0 out of 5 stars informative, but often hard work for little reward, Feb 18 2004

By	"astrosweetgirl" (Hawaii United States) - See all my reviews

There's a lot that's good about this book - the nutritional information, the homey and personal feel of the prose, the inspiration to try new things - but I do end up disappointed fairly often. A couple of recipes are favourites - the breakfast section generally, for example - but a lot of the dinner recipes are really pretty complicated for mid-week meals, and then turn out not to be too different from what I could have achieved in far less time with fewer ingredients. A book to try for a few new ideas, but not one to base your new diet on.
