Moosewood Cookbooks


Have I mentioned how much I love Moosewood cookbooks? And Mollie Katsen? I love her too. Her cookbooks are so simple and unpretentious. Sunlight Cafe is my favorite which is strange because I've always prefered to cook late afternoon and evening types of meals and this cookbook is full of breakfast and brunch dishes. It makes me want to subsist entirely on muffins and granola.

So tonight I tried out a recipe called Savory Dill Ricotta Muffins. They turned out pretty tasty but I probably wouldn't make them all the time because they didn't stand out really. Here's a photo.

My favorite food writer...

My favorite food writer is Laurie Colwin. I plan on eventually reading all of her "non-food" novels, but until then I highly recommend her to anyone else who, like me, loves to read and really loves to read about food. She is excellent. Unfortunately she's also dead, which makes me quite sad because I would have happily read every food book she ever wrote for all of eternity (she's that good). But hey, don't take my word for it: Her two food books are Home Cooking, A Writer in the Kitchen, and More Home Cooking, A Writer Returns to the Kitchen.
