Mollie Katzen and cooking vegetables

[Guest guest]

I recently heard an interview with Mollie Katzen. She described her

background and the history of her work, back to the opening of the

Mousewood restaurant and her original Mousewood Cookbook. (The

interview is here:

She also spoke a lot about her current philosophy, which involves

vegetables cooked at high temperatures for very short periods of time

and the use of healthy oils such as olive oil. She says she describes

this approach in her latest book, " The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without. "

 

Has anyone used this cookbook? Comments? Thoughts on this approach?

 

I'm trying to get away from meat and eat more of a vegetarian diet. I

already have a number of vegetarian cookbooks and use them (along

with recipes from this group, of course!), but I'd like to know what

folks think about this book and this approach.

 

Many thanks,

 

Mike
