The experience was so incredible and hugely important and I can't recommend a visit to one of their 3 farms enough. It was exciting to see your cookbook on the shelves of their gift shop and know that the south is representing in a tasty and compassionate way! Needless to say, however, since I was in the area, I got to spend some time in Ithaca while I was up there, and while I didn't get a chance to visit Moosewood (next time... next time!!!), I was lucky enough to experience how vegan friendly the rest of the city is. Though there aren't any strictly vegan restaurants, I don't think I went anywhere without feeling that I had a plethora of delicious options to choose from. Viva Taqueria and Taste of Thai were two *delicious* restaurant options, and, for dessert, Purity is where it's at. Purity has amazing vegan ice cream options and I definitely just ate their vegan Hurricanes (think Dairy Queens blizzard) for dinner a handful of times. Also, the Ithaca Farmer's Market was a must. Memphis will always have my heart, but I've also found a new home and left a piece of my heart in Ithaca. <br /><br />Thanks for keeping an awesome blog!

It's fun and nostalgic: Moosewood Cookbook was my first veg cookbook, too, and I've got great memories of my mom and I cooking stuff out of it decades ago. People can say whatever they want about Mollie, the restaurant, the menu, and her recipes... but Moosewood will always hold a special place in my heart. BTW, I'll have to check out this book next time I'm at a bookstore in the U.S. :)Justin (Lotus Artichoke)http://www.lotusartichoke.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-19653216589044061212013-11-06T08:08:43.624-06:002013-11-06T08:08:43.624-06:00It's a funny place because it's pretty low...It's a funny place because it's pretty low key. The food is just like the books, more homey than wowza. <br />It's also upstate New York so if you visit the farm sanctuary then you are within driving distance to Ithica.susannoreply@blogger.com
