One of the Moosewood pastry chefs coauthored her own low-fat dessert book last year (Kip Wilcox's Sweetness and Light, LJ 8/96); now here are more than 250 desserts from the whole cooperative. The well-known restaurant in Ithaca, New York, has always specialized in homey desserts like Cherry Almond Crumble and Old-Fashioned Apple Cake; there are also some more elaborate creations for special occasions as well as recipes inspired by the different international cuisines served at the restaurant each Sunday and a chapter of "classics" that have remained favorites over the years.

Bob's Red MillR is well known to artisan and avid home bakers for its high-quality whole-grain flours and other products. Bob and Charlee Moore started the company in 1978, and their line of more than 300 products is increasingly available in supermarkets, as well as in natural food stores and through their web site. For this first book, they have collected favorite recipes for breads and muffins, focaccia and pizza, pies and cakes, cookies, and more; many of them come from winners of Bob's Red Mill baking contests or from other fans. The book also includes a short "Grain Primer," a glossary of other basic ingredients, and a brief section on baking equipment. The King Arthur Flour Baking Companion includes far more information, along with 400 recipes, but most subject collections will want to add this new title, with its emphasis on whole grains, as well.
