From Amazon.com
The Moosewood Restaurant Book of Desserts has the homey but not hokey style you expect from this much-loved restaurant. It is refreshing to enjoy the authors' unvarnished pleasure in food and in sharing about life at the Moosewood as it relates to their desserts. It may be startling to find that the first dessert in this appealing book is nature's best dessert: fresh fruit served with cheese. But these cooks also put butter and eggs to good use, adding enough to make desserts that appeal in their richness. You'll find abundant choices of recipes for every kind of dessert: pies and cakes, puddings, custards, cookies, even special drinks. Chocolate lovers may feel a bit ignored, but fruit, pudding, and cake lovers will be pleased by the 250 recipes in this book.

From Library Journal
One of the Moosewood pastry chefs coauthored her own low-fat dessert book last year (Kip Wilcox's Sweetness and Light, LJ 8/96); now here are more than 250 desserts from the whole cooperative. The well-known restaurant in Ithaca, New York, has always specialized in homey desserts like Cherry Almond Crumble and Old-Fashioned Apple Cake; there are also some more elaborate creations for special occasions as well as recipes inspired by the different international cuisines served at the restaurant each Sunday and a chapter of "classics" that have remained favorites over the years. For most collections.
