Podcasts about Moosewood Cookbook

This week, we'll be discussing something people find nearly as scary as the idea of Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis as running mates in 2024. Something more daunting than trying to turn Wyoming into a blue state. Deep breaths, friends, it's pie crust week! Mollie Katzen, all-around wonderful human and world-famous cookbook author joins us. Yes, she of The Moosewood Cookbook, Pretend Soup and more. Mollie is here to spread the word that pie crust isn't just easy to do…it can be fun. And bring joy. She also shares some very inspiring words about choosing joy over anger, which after this week, we could all use. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome back, friends. It's Sarah's birth month, so she got to choose our topic: BOOKS! It's a good one! Question 1: Name 3 books throughout your life that have shaped who you are today?    Birthday Sarah starts us off.   SARAH'S FIRST BOOK: Grimm's Fairy Tales, the really old, darker, less happily-ever-after versions of so many stories we know and love. Did we say darker? How about WAY darker? Like, Snow White has a lot of hearts being cut out of animals. Some stories have people gouging out eyes.    Sarah regales us with a retelling of a family favorite: “Little One Eye, Little Two Eyes, Little Three Eyes,” a classic Cinderella-type story, where “Cinderella” is named for how many eyes she has (spoiler: It's two). Her stepmother and stepsisters have either fewer or more eyes than that, and they treat Little Two Eyes really badly. A wise woman tries to help out and somehow makes it worse. (You're gonna need this palate cleanser.) But then along comes a knight to make it all better. And then Sarah hits us with the coolest part of this story: Sarah might be a Grimm on her mom's side!   BRYN'S FIRST BOOK: Little House in the Big Woods, by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The first book in a 9-book series of the author's experiences growing up as a little girl in the “big woods” of Wisconsin in 1871. Bryn read it as a child, and has come back to it throughout her life. She has a favorite memory of her mother reading it to her and her brother by firelight one night during a power outage.    Favorite chapters: Christmas, the Sugar Snow, Dance at Grandpa's. Favorite thing about the book: the writing, thanks in large part to Wilder's daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, who made the books into what they became: New Yorker article from August 2009. Resource: Racism and Cultural insensitivity in the Little House books Excellent article by Liz Fields in the American Masters section of PBS.org: Laura Ingalls Wilder: Prairie to Page, What should be done about racist depictions in the “Little House” books?    SARAH'S SECOND BOOK: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. An 1813  novel that follows Elizabeth Bennett and her sister Jane, who are of marriageable age, and must navigate suitors, social engagements, family and societal pressures. The novel delves into manners and etiquette of English society, the importance of marrying for love rather than money or social prestige, and overall has such delightful depictions of characters that captured Sarah's teenage imagination.    P&P Watch List: Take your pick Or go straight to Sarah's fave, the BBC's excellent 1995 6-part miniseries starring Colin Firth in his breakout role, and Jennifer Ehle. Bonus reading: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Bonus Watching: Bridget Jones' Diary   BRYN'S SECOND BOOK: The Passion, by Jeannette Winterson, a fairy tale set in an historical place and time. It's the fantastical, magical, often dark story of Henri (a French soldier and Napoleon's chef during the Napoleonic Wars) and Villanelle, the heart-broken red-haired daughter of a Venetian boatman, who has webbed feet and is a free thinker who lives in the moment.   What's a villanelle? The book started to mirror the poetic form in some ways, like unlocking a secret This was Bryn's first introduction to gender fluidity    SARAH'S THIRD BOOK: Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. After seeing the original Star Wars trilogy for the first time in 1991, Sarah this newly published first book of the Thrawn trilogy at her local library and FREAKED out. It's set 5 years after Return of the Jedi and features Leia and Han as a married couple, starting a family (twins are coming!), working for the Republic and Luke is planning a Jedi Training Academy, while what's left of the Imperials are slowly amassing under Grand Admiral Thrawn. He uses his knowledge of Leia, Luke and the leaders of the New Republic against them in an epic struggle for power.   A book that continued the story of a movie blew Sarah's mind. It unlocked her imagination in a new way. And her knowledge of all those stories and love of those books has connected her with many Star Wars friends with the rise of social media.  Check out Sarah's recap of her chat with the author himself, Timothy Zahn, at a party at Star Wars Celebration Orlando on Skywalking Through Neverland episode 165!     BRYN'S THIRD BOOK: Still Life with Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins, in which an exiled princess and a libertarian anarchist, who are both redheads, meet and sort of fall in love. Bryn didn't want to choose this book as her third pick, but she did anyway because of her husband's wisdom.   Bryn read it while temping at offices in Orange County (she also read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams during that time, but didn't love it.) Felt sort of dangerous and bold and funny and true at the time to naive 21-year-old Bryn WISDOM FROM BRYN'S HUSBAND, ELON:  Books or art or music sometimes show you something you've never seen or known or understood before, and they allow you to imagine something that's possible that you hadn't ever imagined before You don't know how a book is impacting you while you're reading it Bryn's learning from this: This book is one of those for me. It's OK to move on from a book that affected you deeply. Extra homework: Ralph Nader Bryn cheated and included an HONORABLE MENTION book: The Moosewood Cookbook, by Mollie Katsen   Question 2: What we want to learn about/deep dive?   Sarah asked, “How did the printing press change history?”   Real talk: Johannes Gutenberg was NOT the inventor of the printing press! 1st-9th century in China with woodblock printing Metal type printing in Korea began in the 1300s and the first book printed this way is “Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests' Zen Teachings” in 1377. One of these printings is preserved today in the National Library of France.  But he did make some improvements Moveable Type changed everything. Check out this story and this one.   Global news network created thanks to quicker, cheaper printing that was accessible to middle class New information technology adopted by previously silenced voices, those willing to take risks  Revolution! Martin Luther becomes the first religious leader to use printing to his advantage.He's the world's first best-selling author! 1518-1525 his writings accounted for ⅓ of all books sold in Germany.  Scientific Revolution: With printed formulas and mathematical tables in hand, scientists could trust the fidelity of existing data and devote more energy to breaking new ground.   Bryn looked a little into the future (and the present) of books, especially print books   After watching the documentary,  The Booksellers, a film about the rare book business, but also about the future of books, Bryn did a small amount of research to look into the state of print books. When e-book readers first became viable, she remembered hearing the media wonder if paper books were dead. Spoiler: They're not! Book statistics: U.S. book industry statistics and facts Print book sales figures have improved over the last five years and unit sales now amount to over 650 million per year. Print also remains the most popular book format among U.S. consumers, with more than 65 percent of adults having read a print book in the last twelve months. Publishers Weekly: Print Book Sales Rose 8.2% in 2020 E-books statistics Audiobooks: 2019 more than $1 Billion in audiobook sales   Question 3: What are you excited about regarding books?   Sarah is all about audiobooks!    Whispersync She also put a call out for Star Trek or Marvel books suggestions.  And hipped us to the fantastic International Printing Museum    Wayward English major Bryn is excited to become a reader of books again. She might start with Loki, Where Mischief Lies, by Mackenzi Lee, thanks to Sarah's recommendation.   Final Thoughts   Sarah brings us home: When creating our show notes, both Bryn and I were writing so much more about the books that shaped us, rather than the history of books. When we were discussing our focus for this episode, Bryn texted something profound: “Books are so personal.”   So I think that is the perfect way to think of it. Any other two people in the world could have a completely different discussion than we did. So we want to know: what are your top 1-3 books that have shaped you? Please write us and we will share in our NEW segment, Totally Talk To Us.   Thanks to those of you who have written to us, either on Instagram or the Skywalking Through Neverland Facebook Group, with your feedback on our first two episodes: @iamstarwarstime, Peter Heitman and Cadien Clark. We love hearing your thoughts!   About Totally Tell Me Everything   Two friends, one fun topic, three burning questions = lots of fun conversation!

In response to listener demand (and by that we mean a single listener) we offer a Shelly-centric episode focused on the new frontiers of genetic experimentation. Beth Shannon returns as a special guest to participate in the discussion as to whether or not different specific examples of genetic manipulation are either cool or creepy. Predictably enough, a generous portion of the episode veers off toward a consideration of the relative traits of our own Redheaded League - Peggy, Shelly, and Beth. The top of mind segment of this episode is almost exclusively about the bleakness of the upcoming holiday season because of the raging pandemic. But Shelly introduces a number of examples of genetic experimentation and manipulation that provoke a lively and funny conversation. Among the topics that come up are people born with extra eyelashes (Elizabeth Taylor); whether or not varicose veins are like “purple worms”; people who have bones that do not break (Unbreakable); glow-in-the-dark animals; goats which produce silk; and cows that produce human breast milk. Among the information we glean from these discussions is that Beth is not only redheaded but also left-handed; Peggy and Beth think alike; Shelly knows an awful lot about the inbreeding of the Hapsburgs; John listens to many (perhaps too many) podcasts; and that all knowledge is provisional. (But some people’s ignorance is constant). Among the recommendations is Peggy’s for the Moosewood Cookbook.

Tofu is an amazingly versatile and economical ingredient. However, unless one has the luck to grow up in a household cuisine that uses it (hello, Mapo Tofu, Moosewood Cookbook, or Soon Du Bu Jigae!), good recipes may be elusive. Hopefully we’ve found a few new methods -like a gingery soup or crunchy, tangy salad- that will add to your repertoire

Mollie Katzen, with over six million books in print, is listed by the New York Times as one of the best-selling cookbook authors of all time. A 2007 inductee into the James Beard Cookbook Hall of Fame—and largely credited with moving plant-based cuisine from the fringe to the center of the American dinner plate—Katzen has been named by Health Magazine as one of The Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat, and she has been a member of the faculty at Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives, the groundbreaking annual symposium co-hosted by The Culinary Institute of America and the Harvard School of Public Health, since its inception. Katzen is a charter member of the Harvard School of Public Health Nutrition Roundtable and an inaugural honoree of the Natural Health Hall of Fame. An award-winning illustrator and designer as well as bestselling cookbook author and popular public speaker, she is best known as the creator of the groundbreaking classics Moosewood Cookbook, and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest. Her other books include the award-winning, best-selling children's cookbook trilogy, dubbed “the gold standard of children's cookbooks” by the New York Times: Pretend Soup, Honest Pretzels, and Salad People. Mollie Katzen has collaborated on several projects with Walter Willett, MD of Harvard, most notably the book Eat, Drink, & Weigh Less. Her other titles include Still Life with Menu, Vegetable Heaven, Sunlight Café, The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without, and Get Cooking. From 2003 through 2011, Katzen was a consultant to Harvard University Dining Services, and co-creator of their Food Literacy Project.  Mollie Katzen's newest project (and 12th book) is The Heart of the Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New Generation (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, September 2013) – a 500-page tome, reflecting the evolution of her own cooking, and lavishly illustrated with her own watercolors, photos, and collages.

Nature Notes Satu mentioned that bats carry rabies and that is true. If you see a bat behaving strangely then beware.  A hawk posed for me and I still had trouble identifying it. A Cooper's Hawk is about the size of a crow and has a rounded tail. The Sharp-shinned hawk is smaller and has a squared off tail. Sent to me by Goldybear: Autumn by Emily Dickinson The morns are meeker than they were,The nuts are getting brown;The berry's cheek is plumper,The rose is out of town.
