The Enchanted Broccoli Forest comes to us from Mollie Katzen, the woman who kicked off her cookbook writing career with the classic Moosewood Cookbook. Like Moosewood, this book is also chock full of vegetarian recipes for Soups, Salads, Breads, Entrees and much more. My copy is an old one, from the original printing in 1982. Katzen has since updated it, changing the recipes slightly to make them lighter and easier to prepare. I can't speak for this new edition, but I've always loved this book and I can't imagine that a few updates would alter my feelings. I bought my copy at a used bookstore while I was in college and you can tell that it was well loved before it came into my life. I've used it repeatedly and there are several pages that are slightly crunchy from splatters and splashes of food (to me that is the mark of a good cookbook). For those of you who are fans of the sprout, I particularly recommend the Brussels Sprouts Soup on page 43.
