She is also the cook we want for our healthy lives and families. Isa Chandra Moskowitz is the best friend we’re all looking for: she writes in a way we understand, a language that is easily understood and humorous. For those in the vegan community who are also health conscious, Moskowitz has delivered the goods on a plate too irresistible to deny.
So what does Moskowitz do? She writes a cookbook for vegan stomachs searching lowfat, delicious recipes. She also stresses her reluctance to contribute to the war on bigger bodied women. Moskowitz discloses her personal health reasons that resulted in her decision to find more recipes that are lighter in caloric intake. Luckily, I don’t have to return Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s newest book, Appetite for Reduction, which is doomed to the same fate as its predecessor: lovingly used with pages that are turned with excitement, torn at its edges and bearing of all kinds of quirky marks, compliments of the daring cook. A cookbook, naturally, absorbs the effort of its teachings: oils and buttered thumb prints, dried arrow root smudges, and one small berry stain on two of the pages when I tried to turn them with fruit juice-stained fingers. The book shouldn’t have been returned because it smelled like food. Not in the state it was in after it lived in my kitchen for five renewed status cycles (the maximum number I was allowed before I had to return it to my local library). My library copy of Vegan with a Vengeance shouldn’t have been returned.
