Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
In Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant, 18 of the Moosewood Collective's chefs each contribute a chapter of vegetarian recipes from a different regional cuisine. Recipes are straightforward, and sources (and substitutes!) are given for hard-to-find ingredients. In addition to the Asian cuisine one might expect to find in an international vegetarian cookbook, there are some surprising and tasty options from Eastern Europe, Armenia, and the Middle East, as well as both Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewish recipes. The suggested menus encourage mixing; tomorrow's dinner could include Sopa de Ajo (garlic soup) from Chile, Spinach Nori Rolls from Japan, and Mango with Yogurt from India. The main dishes are so hearty that your guests may not notice they're meatless.

Product Description:


Since its opening in 1973, Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca, New York, has been synonymous with creative cuisine with a healthful, vegetarian emphasis.

Each Sunday at Moosewood Restaurant, diners experience a new ethnic or regional cuisine, sometimes exotic, sometimes familiar. From the highlands and grasslands of Africa to the lush forests of Eastern Europe, from the sun-drenched hills of Provence to the mountains of South America, the inventive cooks have drawn inspiration for these delicious adaptations of traditional recipes.

Including a section on cross-cultural menu planning as well as an extensive guide to ingredients, techniques, and equipment, Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant offers a taste for every palate.

Moosewood Restaurant is run by a group of 18 people who rotate through the jobs necessary to make a restaurant work. They plan menus, set long-term goals, and wash pots.

Moosewood Restaurant contributes 1 percent of its profits from the sale of this book to the Eritrean Relief Fund, which provides food and humanitarian assistance to the Eritrean people.

Moosewood Restaurant supports 1% For Peace, an organization working to persuade the government to redirect 1 percent of the Defense Department budget towards programs that create and maintain peace in positive ways.




Rating: - Good recipe ideas, terrible execution
I have tried at least 10 recipes in this book, and only 2 of them I would ever make again. (One being a Korean dish wrongly included in the "China" section.)

I bought the book because (a) it was the longest of the Moosewood recipe books, and (b) I thought that the diversity of dishes would be exciting. I don't know whether the preparations have been overly simplified to the point of losing taste, whether the authors have simply included everything they've tried to serve in the restaurant ...

Rating: - Vegetarians: Beware Elitism
I was titillated by the title of Moosewood Sundaes, as I had never heard of Moosewood on the West Coast: I am just another ignorant Westerner. I set out to find out what Moosewood is, and I found out some people apparently expect that it is ALL about vegetarians and vegans. I am a carnivore, but not STRICTLY a carnivore, but NOT strictly an omnivore, either. I enjoy eating vegetables as a large part of my diet. I find vegetarian elitism to be uninteresting.

After pondering their messages ... Read More

Rating: - Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant
This is a classic and as appropriate for today's cooks as when it was written. I wanted to learn how to make foods with an international flair and this has it---Plus commentary.

Rating: - Favorite cookbooks revisited
Long a favorite, my 'Sundays' was missing the index and various pages. This used copy cost me less than ten dollars, and is in perfect condition.
This book is great for those who are beginning to cook more adventurously. The recipes are simplistic when compared to, for example, Deborah Madison. There is much use of grocery store substitutes so you don't need an entire ethnic pantry. But the recipes have stood the test of time, particularly the middle eastern section and southeast asia. This is a huge, ... Read More

Rating: - The one cookbook I keep going back to...
I first got this cookbook when I was in college back in the early 90's in Rochester, NY. I made several recipes for my roommates and they loved them! I have never made anything from this book that turned out less than delicious. I seldom post reviews on anything, but I think this cookbook warrants my review. My favorites are the Cape Verde Vegetable Soup, Groundnut Stew, Moroccan Stew and the Rusks (with a cup of chocolate chips thrown in). I have a whole legion of rusk followers now who have asked for the recipe ... Read More
