Hi Jessica! I was so taken with Moosewood Cookbook. We went to Ithaca from Berkeley to visit the Moosewood Restaurant in 1982. Everyone working there signed my cookbook. Then Mollie moved to Berkeley so my friends and I gave a party to welcome her. She then signed my book. What fond memories. Zuccanoes, Very Cheesy Casserole, Humus, Baba Ganouj and all the sauces! So glad to see your well loved copy! Happy meal times to you. Best, Viktoria

Oh wow, Victoria, this is just amazing! Yes, those are fantastic memories. I didn't know she moved to Berkeley! That's where I lived, until 2000 when I moved to New Mexico. That must have been a gorious party you gave for Mollie. And the best cookbook ever! thanks for sharing!

Really small world, 🌎 I lived there until 95 when I moved to Sweden. Fun to connect here.
