Tassajara Recipe Book or Moosewood Restaurant Kitchen Garden

Tassajara Recipe Book

Author: Edward Espe Brown

In a friendly and informal style, Ed Brown presents the recipes that have made the kitchen at the Tassajara Zen Center famous for more than thirty years. "Ordinary food for ordinary people" is the way Brown once described his approach, but there's nothing ordinary about these culinary offerings. From appetizers to desserts, the over two hundred recipes use the freshest ingredients in ways that will tantalize the palates of everyone from down-home vegetarians to the most discriminating gourmet cooks. The recipes are interspersed throughout with line drawings, photographs of the center and its environs, and Brown's own poetry. This revised edition includes twenty-nine new and four revised recipes, new photographs, and a new introduction.

Moosewood Restaurant Kitchen Garden: Creative Gardening for the Adventurous Cook

Author: David Hirsch

DAVID HIRSCH has been a member of the Moosewood Collective since 1976. Trained as an architect, he eventually turned his passion for gardening and cooking into a vocation. Hirsch is one of the coauthors of all nine Moosewood Collective cookbooks, including Moosewood Restaurant Celebrates and NEW RECIPES FROM MOOSEWOOD RESTAURANT. He lives in near Ithaca, New York.

Library Journal

In what is called ``a gardening book for cooks and a cookbook for gardeners,'' Hirsch offers brief seed-starting instructions, cultural requirements, harvesting instructions, garden design plans, and culinary tips for a variety of vegetables and herbs. He also includes general gardening techniques, insect control, and recipes from the Moosewood kitchens. Of special interest are the culinary tips, especially for less-common vegetables and for herbs. This book has the visual attractiveness of the other Moosewood titles, with charming initials and line drawings on the text pages, decorative title pages for each section, and garden plans and drawings throughout. Not a necessary purchase, this may be desirable in libraries serving sizable vegetarian populations. (Index not seen.)-- Carol Cubberly, Univ. of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg
