With
The Moosewood Cookbook, Mollie Katzen changed the way a
generation cooked and brought vegetarian cuisine into the mainstream. In
The Heart of the Plate, she completely reinvents the vegetarian
repertoire, unveiling a collection of beautiful, healthful, and unfussy
dishes -- her "absolutely most loved." Her new cuisine is light, sharp,
simple, and modular; her inimitable voice is as personal, helpful,
clear, and funny as ever. Whether it's a salad of kale and angel hair
pasta with orange chili oil or a seasonal autumn lasagna, these dishes
are celebrations of vegetables. They feature layered dishes that
juxtapose colors and textures: orange rice with black beans, or tiny
buttermilk corn cakes on a Peruvian potato stew. Suppers from the oven,
like vegetable pizza and mushroom popover pie, are comforting but never
stodgy. Burgers and savory pancakes -- from eggplant Parmesan burgers to
zucchini ricotta cloud cakes -- make weeknight dinners fresh and
exciting. "Optional Enhancements" allow cooks to customize every
recipe."
The Heart of the Plate is vibrantly illustrated with
photographs and original watercolors by the author herself.
