Moosewood Restaurant Cooks for Health

As is the Moosewood tradition, the recipes are creative, adventurous, and inspired by ethnic and global cuisine. They include appetizers like Pumpkin Seed Pesto Spread and Salsa with Peaches and Blueberries, soups like Ginger Tofu and Creamy Asparagus, and richly flavoured entrees like Pasta with Caramelized Onions, Tomatoes and Feta and Pomegranate-Glazed Tofu with Couscous, Pistachios and Apricots. For breakfast, there is Flaxseed Blueberry Bread, and for dessert, there are Chevre and Pistachio-Stuffed Figs. The Moosewood message is neither clinical nor complicated. Instead, this book's pages are filled with recipes based on the simple principle that eating more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains keeps people healthier longer. Other useful features include complete nutritional breakdowns for each dish; recipe lists that place dishes in helpful categories like "Good for Diabetics" or "Low-Calorie;" and quick, convenient recipes for breakfasts on the run, packed lunches, and snacks.
