Nearly a decade ago, when I was a newlywed and a nanny for hire in the West Paces of Atlanta there was one night when I went to a house for an evening babysitting job and the mother had dinner ready to be served. It was an amazing lasagna, and when I asked about it more she said it was from The Moosewood Cookbook and that was the first time I heard the name.

Apparently The Moosewood Cookbook has quite the legacy. When I searched for it I discovered it was a bit pricey, but I added it to my wishlist all the same. Since then I seemingly forgot about it, but once I saw it come up for review I knew I had to jump at the chance.

If you know me, you know that I love Christian Historical Fiction and all things historical from genealogy to other books and fiction. So having an opportunity to immerse myself into this vintage vegetarian cookbook that has provided many a meal for generations. Just imagine what eating this meal was like in 1974, 1984, 1994, 2004, and even now in 2014.

In my own kitchen I'm always trying to find new and yummy ways to incorporate vegetables to my regime and not always being successful, but the ideas within The Moosewood Cookbook provide me with an entire new armory of suggestion.
