[net.cooks] vegetarian cookbook

     I know of a series of cookbooks for vegetarians prepared by the
Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca,NY. The one that I have is compiled
by Mollie Katzen and contains excellent recipes for soups,salads,
sandwiches and main entrees and desserts. You may not find these books
in mainstream bookshops but you can definitely get them at shops that
cater to out of the ordinary tastes. By the way, the name of the book
that I have is the Moosewood Cookbook( no surprise there! ). Happy
cooking!

But Moosewood and the follow-up, "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest" use dairy
products (probably many of the recipes don't, and some can be adapted), and
the requester wanted "true Vegetarian" by which he meant no animal products.
I don't know for sure, but The Farm, a hippie commune in Tenessee, always
was a strict veggie place, soy this, and soy that, and I believe they put
out a cookbook called something original like "the Farm Cookbook". Ask at
your local alternative bookstore. They might have the Farm Book, which is
their blurb on their way of life, which may have pointers to the other book.
(If in fact said cookbook exists)

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I recall that the person looking for a "truly"
vegetarian cookbook specified non-dairy; I have only looked through the
Moosewood Cookbook, but I seem to remember many of the recipes using dairy
products. Am I correct?

One thing I do know for sure -- in the Philadelphia area, at least, "The
Moosewood Cookbook" and "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest" are both available
in your ordinary bookstore.

hmmmm....
	I heartily second the endorsement of Mollie Katzen's cookbooks
``The Moosewood Cookbook'' and ``The Enchanted Broccoli Forest''.   I'd
rate both of them MMMMM! (the second is a bit fancier).   Anna Thomas
has a nice pair of cookbooks entitled ``The Vegitarian Epicure'', with the
second one (II) being the best.   But I prefer Katzen's books.

"Moosewood" and its follow-on "The Enchanted Brocoli Forest" are excellent
cookbooks, but the are anything BUT dairyless.
