Status Updates From The Moosewood Cookbook

Of all the cookbooks I have read and it is well into the 1000’s; this is number one.
It is vegetarian; easy, accessible, beautiful, clean food. I love the sauces and casseroles. I love the soups and salads. It doesn’t pretend to replace meat like some do… and there is def a place for that. This is just so simple. I love the type print. I love the notes. I love this book.

Attempting to work with Phyllo dough to create several slabs of Mushroom Strudel was such a chaotic delight, tasted way too good! Still hesitant to make Spanakopita or Baklava, will report back if/whenever I get around to it 👀👀👀

Found this cookbook back at my family's place and gave it a new home (aka, mine!)

Out of the many recipes, I've bookmarked ~15 of them. So far, I've attempted to make Gado-Gado, which is apparently "an Indonesian dish with spicy peanut sauce" (which is true, but I soon realized it was essentially coleslaw with lots of peanut butter LMAO) still tasty). Aiming to try making either Mushroom Strudel or Spanakopita next!

Some interesting salad recipes for when I’m feeling fancy…
