I’ve been using Molly Katzen’s cookbooks for 40 years. I had very high expectations and excitement about finally eating at Moosewood. (And so so happy the menu doesn’t include fake meat!) I was not disappointed! The gift shop is a bit too bougie for me. The food was exceptionally good!

The last time I was
