The James Beard Foundation has announced that Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen will be inducted into the COOKBOOK HALL OF FAME at their awards ceremony May 7th, 2007 in New York City.
The James Beard Foundation Awards are the premier honors for food and beverage professionals in America and the COOKBOOK HALL OF FAME award is given to only one cookbook per year "that has had a significant and enduring impact on the way we cook and understand food."
Here's what they said about Moosewood Cookbook:
In 1977, when Mollie Katzen created a book about the food served at Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca, New York, vegetarianism was still an exotic way of life to most Americans. However, there was something about Katzen's hand-lettered recipes and charming drawings that captured the attention and affection of both vegetarians and omnivores. Since then, Katzen has written eight more books, including three for children, and revised the Moosewood Cookbook in 1999 to reflect new ideas on healthy eating. Original or updated, Moosewood Cookbook is a treasured possession of the many thousands who love it for proving that meatless eating can be a pleasure.
