The first Moosewood Cookbook--loved for its cozy, comforting food--mused oil, eggs, and dairy products so lavishly that it was extensively revised in 1992 to fit our changing diet. Now, the Moosewood Collective takes an even more extreme step: recipes in Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites are so intentionally healthful that they put the word right on the cover of this chubby book filled with lean recipes (many dishes get the fat down to a modest 16-17% of their total calories). Still, the 280-plus recipes offer the bold, pan-ethnic flavors that have won the Moosewood Collective cookbooks so many fans.
Review: Booklist
The Moosewood series of vegetarian cookbooks continues with a new volume that jumps on the current bandwagon of low-fat cookery. Vegetarian cooks haven't always worried about the fat content of their recipes, but now the marriage of vegetarianism to a broader conception of health consciousness has created a new style of cooking that concerns itself not only with the elimination of meats but also with those fats that derive from vegetable sources as well. In the eclectic fashion cooks have come to expect from the Moosewood group, their new book ranges broadly from Armenian-influenced entrees to sushi rice salad. A few recipes for fish and shellfish run counter to the book's vegetarian emphasis. Some attempts to create both a vegetarian and a low-fat version of a classic like cassoulet fall into the category of oxymoronic cuisine, but on sale others have a greater chance of tasting good as well as leaving arteries unclogged. Salads and soups with unusual herbs are especially appealing here. -Mark Knoblauch
