Moosewood for the new Millennium

Mollie Katzen is a legend in my kitchen. The Moosewood Cookbook and the Enchanted Broccoli Forest were the first cookbooks I owned. Their hand drawn illustrations and folksy writing guided me through Moussaka and Swedish Cabbage Soup from college and on through adulthood.

My copies are now splattered with sauces and split at the bindings. But like many people, I find myself cooking the stuff I know over and over again, and I don't find myself in the kitchen as often as I used to. So I'm thrilled that Mollie has a new book and a new imperative: to "Get Cooking!"

She'll be visiting with University of New Hampshire students enrolled in the eco-gastronomy program this weekend, and signing copies of Get Cooking at River Run Bookstore in Portsmouth on Saturday.
