04 Feb. 2022: Gingered Carrot Soup
Both of us find carrot soup delicious and comforting, so I’m often drawn to those recipes when looking for a quick dinner based on soup. Apparently, I am not alone in my love of carrot soup as Mollie Katzen has a Moosewood and an Enchanted Broccoli Forrest version. When we downsized from our house to…
01 Feb. 2022: Kale Pesto
We’ve been making more of an effort to use up everything we purchase when food shopping. That does get to be a challenge between the buying ahead that happens during the Winter months (in case weather prevents us from getting out) and shortages caused by COVID. This week I had quite a bit of Lacinto…
Jan. 24, 2022: Moosewood Bulgarian Pepper and Cheese Delight
I wrote a reminder to myself in the margin of my trusty Moosewood Cookbook to make only half of this recipe. Am I ever sorry I did that! This was delicious and warming, and honestly, I’m sorry we don’t have more leftovers for lunch. Bulgarian Pepper and Cheese Delight Recipe edited, compiled and illustrated by…
15 Jan. 2022: Mushroom Barley Soup
I didn’t set out to make Moosewood’s Mushroom Barley Soup today, but after I finished bread baking in the afternoon, it seemed like a better idea than my originally planned dinner. I spent a good part of Saturday baking Hi-Rise Bakery’s Corn Bread (recipe found in Maggie Glezer’s Artisan Baking Across America). No, not that…
07 Jan. 2022: Squash, Apple & Warm Lentil Salad
We are getting our first real snowfall of Winter 2022 today, so I decided to change things up a little by making our big meal for mid-day. Food & Wine published this warming Winter-weather salad in 2013. The original recipe was developed by Nick Wilber and it ticks all the right boxes for a snowy…
02 Jan 2022: Moosewood Spicy Tomato Soup
Late last month, I read about about Tweeter Brian Gorman who made a project of cooking as many recipes from Mollie Katzen‘s Moosewood Cookbook as possible . Just as I was thinking that would be an awesome plan for 2022, Mollie Katzen herself posted an encouragement to the Twitterverse: Anyone want to do the same…

17 Sep 2021: Hello Old Friend, Moosewood Curried Squash & Mushroom Soup
My Moosewood Cookbook, purchased back in 1977, was one of the first books from which I learned to cook. Over time, its yellowing pages have introduced us to some delightful recipes and, of course, vegetarian cooking. The Moosewood Collective is still going strong and Mollie Katzen, one of the originals links to a 40th Anniversary…
