How Old Is Moosewood?

About Moosewood
Most members of the Collective have worked together for at least 20 years, and some since the restaurant's inception in 1973.

Who started Moosewood?

Moosewood Restaurant is a restaurant that was founded by Therese Tischler, Judy Barringer, Mollie Katzen, Kris Miller, Josh Katzen and others in 1973 in downtown Ithaca, New York. Moosewood is located on the first floor of the Dewitt Mall building, which is a converted high school.

Who wrote Moosewood Cookbook?

The original Moosewood cookbook, written by former collective member Mollie Katzen and published in 1974, is a culinary bible of sorts for a generation of diehard and flirting-with-it vegetarians. It remains one of the best-selling cookbooks of all time, selling upwards of 20,000 copies each year.
