Matt and I recently decided that we need to try to live healthier. Besides going to the gym a few times a week, I have been cooking our dinners most nights. I am not into cooking at all and every evening I have to try and think of something good to make. Mostly we eat the same four meals over and over. So I was pleasantly surprised when for my birthday, my friend Jessie got me this new edition of the Moosewood Cookbook. Written by Mollie Katzen, it’s a collection of vegetarian recipes based on the restaurant she and six other people founded in the 70s in Ithaca, New York. And while I am really eager to get my hands dirty and attempt some beet borscht, I am also worried about getting the book dirty because it is quite pretty. The entire cookbook is handwritten and each page is decorated with small spot illustrations or a cute border. In the introduction Mollie says “I handlettered the book because I intended it to be used by people I knew, or by acquaintances of acquaintances. It didn’t occur to me that some day an expanded version, still in handlettered format, would be used by over a million strangers.” Learn more about the Moosewood Restaurant here, about Mollie Katzen here and buy the cookbook here. |
