Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 100% worth the purchaseI rented this book from the library initially in hopes of trying a few new recipes. After making several of the dishes from this cookbook- I MUST OWN IT. The recipes are truly unique, economic, and flavorful variety that I will use throughout the coming years. 100% worth its cost. Its not one of those cookbooks with just one or two great recipes. Its littered with great ideas and spices to kick regular veggies up several notches. Homemade salad dressings that are super easy, quick soups, and hearty main dishes that can be made throughout the year make this cookbook stellar. Rating: - Recipes GaloreThe cookbook Moosewood Restaurant Low Fat Favorites: Flavorful Recipes for Healthful Meals was delivered as promised. It is chock full of gastronomical delights; many of which I have already tried. Excellent book for those who think low fat means zero taste. I am using spices I have only heard about - a taste buds delight! There are a lot of vegetarian meals; so if you think you can't live without the meat and potatoes - think again! Rating: - Everything in here is greatThis is a great cookbook for vegetarians, meat eaters, or vegans. If you love meat you can easily add some chicken or beef to some of the recipes, or you can make them vegan by omitting the cheese and milk. My FAVORITE recipe in this book are the Gnocchi- which are easier to make and better for you then other Gnocchi I have made. I also love the Philo Dough Extravaganza as it is very easy and you can add whatever you have on hand to the middle of the roll. Rating:  - I wanted love this, but just couldn'tI bought this after checking this cookbook out from the library and trying the Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burrito recipe. They came out so flavorful and rich despite being low fat - and as a side note, could be frozen and reheated very successfully - that I couldn't wait to buy this and try more recipes. Sadly, my subsequent experiences never lived up to the first. I have tried quite a few recipes including the Penne with Creamy Walnut Sauce, Mac and Cheese, Snap Peas and Mushrooms, and Baked Flounder Roll and have had mixed results. The biggest problem I have is that the results are not all together terrible, but merely average. They tend to be underseasoned and less complex than recipes I have tried from Canyon Ranch Cooks: More Than 200 Delicious, Innovative Recipes from America's Leading Health Resort and The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life. Unlike recipes from those books which taste much richer and more indulgent than they are, most of the Moosewood recipes taste decidedly light to me and require some doctoring to elevate them to my standards. I often have to add more fresh herbs and play around with the recipe. Thankfully overtime I have learned this is necessary and taste the recipes frequently after adding each ingredient to see what else is needed. However, it is frustrating not to trust that a cookbook will produce the kind of results you are looking for, especially when splurging on organic produce and other higher priced items. If you are going to cook from this book, however I think the strongest recipes are the Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos, Sweet Potato Salad and the Lemon Pudding Cake. The later is especially delicious and easy to adapt. I've switched out the lemon for lime and the milk for coconut milk for a fun twist and more variety. Other recipes can be good as well, but these are some of the few I've found that are perfectly flavorful as is. The bottom line is that this is an okay cookbook, but I have found so many cookbooks that cover the healthy and/or vegetarian cookbooks that yield vastly superior results consistently. Instead I would recommend books like the two above in my review as well as reFresh: Contemporary Vegan Recipes From the Award Winning Fresh Restaurants, Eat, Drink & Be Vegan: Great Vegan Food for Special and Everyday Celebrations, and Conscious Cuisine: A New Style of Cooking from the Kitchens of Chef Cary Neff.
