description: With The Moosewood Cookbook Mollie Katzen changed the way a generation cooked and brought vegetarian cuisine into the mainstream. In The Heart of the Plate she completely reinvents the vegetarian repertoire unveiling a collection of beautiful healthful and unfussy dishes  her absolutely most loved. Her new cuisine is light sharp simple and modular; her inimitable voice is as personal helpful clear and funny as ever. Whether its a salad of kale and angel hair pasta with orange chili oil or a seasonal autumn lasagna these dishes are celebrations of vegetables. They feature layered dishes that juxtapose colors and textures: orange rice with black beans or tiny buttermilk corn cakes on a Peruvian potato stew. Suppers from the oven like vegetable pizza and mushroom popover pie are comforting but never stodgy. Burgers and savory pancakes  from eggplant Parmesan burgers to zucchini ricotta cloud cakes  make weeknight dinners fresh and exciting. Optional Enhancements allow cooks to customize every recipe. The Heart of the Plate is vibrantly illustrated with photographs and original watercolors by the author herself.
