Moosewood Cookbooks

[Guest guest]

I know a huge number of members like Moosewood Cookbooks, but I'm one of the few

that doesn't, they are labor intensive which I don't mind because I will spend

the day in the kitchen, I feel they could use shortcuts and I wasn't impressed

with anything I've made from those cookbooks yet.

Thanks for mentioning the Moosewood cookbooks. I put a few of them on hold

at the library. I just received a notice that they are ready for pick up.

I can't wait to see what they contain! I hope that they are not too labor

intensive. I like to cook, but not that much!

Good to know ladies! When I first became a veg*n I started to just buy

cookbooks. It has helped that I get them from the library first to try a

few things out. What I have learned is that I really do so much better when

I go off the top of my head for most stuff. Some things I will consult the

cookbooks for a general idea. When I have cooked from the cookbooks, the

food has been so so. It could be that I have a very ethnic palette and some

of the recipes leave me wanting more or as if something it missing. I have

ruled out so many cookbooks that way. I am also learning that since going

veg, I really like a spicier and robust dish. I liked spicy food when an

omni, but not as much as I crave it now. Today I made some Szechuan green

beans with sticky rice and was floored that it was very close to what I

would purchase at the Chinese restaurant. And it did what my taste buds

needed! Phew! And even more off topic..I love tofu scramble! I finally

made my second batch of tofu scramble (first time EVER cooking with tofu)

and I am hooked. It is a great way to get a lot of veggies in.and I load in

fried rice and potatoes so that my little one will get into it too! I was

not sure about trying tofu or cooking it so it took me a month before I did.

Another PHEW! I really like tofu!

 

 

 

Anyway, I will let you know how it goes with Moosewood and me once I pick

them up from the library tomorrow!
