another great Moosewood cookbook

You can hardly go wrong with any Moosewood cookbook, but this one is certainly another strong contender for one of the best. Over 300 recipes offer delicious formulas for living a healthier, more delicious life. I love using these recipes as a baseline for creative substitutions, so that I can end up with a broccoli, pumpkin seed pesto, for instance, instead of a cilantro pesto (both tasty). Also, these recipes use ingredients that are just as tasty as your more fatty counterparts. The book claims that the recipes "average only 16 percent of calories from fat -- well below the USDA recommended goal of 30 percent". The original Moosewood restaurant is located in Itacha, NY, and I hope to visit it one day. It's been there since the early 70's and has many claims to fame now. It's a collective and they sure do know how to make an inspiring cookbook, which makes me hazard a guess that their restaurant food is equally inspiring.
