The Moosewood Cookbook — Mollie Katzen (40th Anniversary Edition)

One of the ten best-selling cookbooks of all time. James Beard Award Cookbook Hall of Fame inductee. A Cookbook Classic — International Association of Culinary Professionals.

Some books change the way you cook. The Moosewood Cookbook is one of them. In 1974, Mollie Katzen hand-wrote and illustrated a spiral-bound collection of vegetarian recipes for the small restaurant co-op she helped run in Ithaca, New York. What started as a humble, homemade notebook became one of the most beloved cookbooks ever printed — and it’s just as relevant today as it was then.

This 40th Anniversary Edition brings Mollie’s original vision to a new generation of home cooks, with a new introduction written by Mollie herself. The recipes are simple, seasonal, and rooted in the pleasure of cooking real food from scratch — the kind of cooking that fills a kitchen with good smells and brings people around the table.

Whether you’ve cooked from Moosewood for decades or you’re just discovering it, this edition is a book you’ll reach for again and again. A cornerstone for any kitchen shelf, and a beautiful gift for anyone who loves to cook.
