Does anyone have the Moosewood cookbook by Mollie Katzen that has the beige cover? I think it looks like this but ours was not a revised edition - not sure if it matters.

We can't find our copy and we really want to make the pumpkin pudding that's in that book - I think it is just the filling to the pumpkin pie recipe put in a baking dish. I think it is made with honey as the sweetner.

I would really appreciate it, if some could pm me or post the recipe here - we have a stack of cheese pumpkins and large butternut squash from our garden share that we need to cook up and start using.

And in looking for it online I found that Katzen has a website online with lots of recipes and things for children - I am going to look at it a bit more - we use many of her soup recipes from this cookbook and "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest" all winter and especially during Lent - wonderful! Link

the pumpkin pudding


Is this it?

3 cups pumpkin puree
3/4 cup honey
2 Tbs. molasses
1/4 tsp. powdered cloves
3 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. salt
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 can evaporated milk (or 2 cups scalded milk)

Mix in order given.
Pour into whole wheat pie shell and bake 10 minutes at 450, then 40 minutes at 350 or till set.

Variation: for a delicious pumpkin pudding, omit pie shell. Bake filling in buttered baking dish and serve w/ vanilla ice cream or heavy cream.

That is one cookbook I don't have, as the library by my house had it, and I just borrowed it all the time, and then I was saving to buy a bunch of the Moosewood Cookbooks from this great used bookstore in AZ - and I totally forgot to do so before moving :( The used bookstores here in Vegas are abysmal.

I love the Enchanted Broccoli Forest, too.

Anyway, sorry for the sidetrack....

Yes Laura, I think that is it! - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

We are on our second copy of this book - we finally had to lay our first copy to rest.

Dh found our next copy on ebay - the owner had put little comments by some of the recipes - I love getting old books that give you hints about the person who had it before you.

So Donna...if one were looking for a copy of this cookbook would you recommend the non-revised version? Amazon says the revised edition has been updated to reflect healthier cooking options. Has that done away with some of the original loveliness of the cookbook in your opinion?

I haven't seen the revised edition - I think my dh might have just happened to find another copy of the original and we like it so much that he snapped it up.

My only thought to the revised edition is that Katzen seems to have been influenced by the "lowfat" crowd - which is probably fine - I doubt she is using "lowfat" sour cream in her recipes now. (At least I hope not!) But maybe finding naturally lower fat alternatives??

I can see where some of the recipes in the original book are on the *rich* side but the ones we use - especially the soups - are really fine as they are.

We have gone more the "Nourishing Traditions" route and aren't really interested in recipes that are made to be "lowfat" by using foods that have been processed to take out the fat. KWIM?

Yes. I feel the same way, so I'm happy for the assessment.

Hmmmm...might have to put this one on my "to be hunted down" list.

I have the revised book. She actually does not recommend that you use things like light dairy products, but rather will say, use half and half or heavy cream (depending on how rich you want the flavor to be). I find it to be very natural, and it doesn't(to me) read like a "light" cookbook.
