Even though I consider myself a foodie, I don’t really like cookbooks. I enjoy them for the most part, but I prefer to search for recipes online and I use my personal blog as a way to keep track of my favorites. However, one cookbook that I absolutely love is Mollie Katzen’s The Vegetable Dishes I Can’t Live Without.
From the back cover:
Sometimes we need a little inspiration when it comes to adding more vegetables to our plate. Thankfully for us, Mollie Katzen knows a thing or two about vegetables! On the 30th anniversary of her groundbreaking Moosewood Cookbook, Mollie presents her all-time favorite vegetable side dishes in this delightful and beautifully illustrated cookbook. Whether you need an appetizer, a quick and easy snack for the kids, or something to accompany a main dish, this cookbook offers over 90 creative recipes and countless ways to infuse more veggies into our diets.
I LOVE this cookbook! It makes vegetables taste wonderful through simple preparation and by using just a few ingredients. The recipes are so easy to follow and, of course, delicious. A number of Mollie’s recipes have become favorites in my house!

About a year ago, I had the opportunity to meet my cookbook hero in person! 
She even signed my copy of The Vegetables I Can’t Live Without. So cool!

I think I’ll be adding this to my Wish List on amazon.com — I love it!
I am a big fan of The Flexitarian Diet and the recipes in there. All the ones thus far are wonderful!
I’d never heard of this cookbook, but now I want to look for it. Most of the time, I just use the internet
My favorite cookbook is probably Eat Drink & Be Vegan. It’s filled with tons of fantastic, easy to make recipes.
Have to check this out…loved Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest.
I love that you got to meet her! My favorite cook book that I don’t use often enough is Vij’s Elegant & Inspired Indian Cuisine. His restaurant is simply AMAZING, and he so super friendly and almost always there to greet everyone. A must go in Vancouver!!
I couldn’t resist any longer, I bought the book just now! Thanks for the suggestion, Tina!
I love the Moosewood Cookbooks, but don’t have this one in my collection. Two summers ago while I was interning at Cornell, I had the opportunity to eat at the Moosewood restaurant and the food was delicious! If you’re ever near Ithaca, I recommend stopping to grab a bit to eat.
A lot of our household favorites come from Alton Brown’s book I’m Just Here for More Food. So reliable! So delicious! I reduce the butter in most recipes, though
