Summary: Not Just A Soup & Salad Cookbook
Comment: Like to cook? I mean, like discovering new seasonings and playing with interesting ingredients? If so, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!
Don't be dismayed that the recipes are all soups and salads. Those are very broad categories! Many "salads" are more like casual meals (such as Bean Puree with Seven Savories, which is pretty much a really cool Middle Eastern-style nachos, using toasted pita wedges instead of tortilla chips, of course). And as for soups... there are SO MANY different recipes here, no matter what your idea of soup may be when you open this book, it'll have expanded ten-fold after you've perused these pages.
The best part is, soup and salad are such forgiving mediums, this book is perfect for the home chef who wants to explore. Helpful text explains unusual ingredients and describes why certain vegetables & seasonings were chosen to enhance flavor and texture in each recipe. At the bottom of every recipe, the Moosewood editors were kind to include a half dozen or so dishes that would compliment it nicely. Makes meal-planning a snap, and so far, they've been right on target, every time.
I got this book for Christmas and many of the recipes have already become "regulars." I have no qualms about trying new dishes, even when serving guests, because you can trust these recipes to need little, if any, tampering. Though I have several Moosewood cookbooks (and I like them all), I can't recommend THIS book enough. Really!
Oh yeah, and I wanted to also mention that Moosewood also includes time estimates & nutritional informaton for every recipe. gotta love that.

Summary: Okay, but not great
Comment: Being a vegan, I can't make all the recipes in this cookbook, but the ones I've tried so far have ranged from wonderful to icky, sometimes in the same meal (like the North African Couscous Salad, which is terrific, and the Tunisian Pumpkin Soup, which looks and tastes gross; the two are recommended to go together). The good news is that there's a lot here to choose from and plenty of recommendations on what dishes to put together to make a meal. The bad news is that, aside from not always producing spectacular results, some of the recipes are long and involved. If you're interested in a Moosewood recipe book and don't already have it, I suggest trying "Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home." It's much more reliable, and the recipes are relatively easy -- but bear in mind that that recipe book, like this one, is not strictly vegetarian.

Summary: Simply delicious!
Comment: The recipes are reliable and easy to follow.
Personal favorites: Butternut squash soup with sizzled sage, Jamaican tomato soup, Spicy carrot peanut soup, Black bean and chipotle soup, Tortilla soup, Corn chowder, Cream of mushroom, and Creamy herbed potato.
There's a large chapter on salads. Try the Asparagus and fennel pasta salad, Caesar salad, Chef salad a la Moosewood, Tomato flowers and the Tostada salad.
At the end of each page it will give menu ideas as to which salads go with which soups. Very helpful. Their salad dressings are very good but my all time favorite which I make once a week is the Moosewood house dressing. A delicious combination of canola oil, cider vinegar, honey, spinach leaves, basil leaves, dijon mustard, a little salt, fresh ground black pepper and buttermilk. All whirled together in a blender and tossed on fresh greens. It will keep in the fridge for about a week.
Very easy directions. Lovely.
