MOLLIE KATZEN CONNECTION

HUDS is an active member of the culinary community, and we have a great friend in Mollie Katzen, the world-renowned author, artist, and chef. Best-known as the pioneering author/illustrator of the classic Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, Mollie was named by Health Magazine as one of "Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat." She has been increasingly focusing her work on issues of healthy, delicious eating for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

At HUDS, our collaboration with Mollie extends to both the kitchen and the dining room. She is helping us develop recipes, especially related to our meatless offerings, and to more fully answer the unique dietary needs of people who choose a meatless diet.

We have hosted several Katzen-inspired meals at which Mollie appears and speaks with diners. She also contributes to our newsletters, carries on email dialogues with interested individuals and, as a member of the School of Public Health Nutrition Roundtable (founded by Dr. Walter Willet), offers ideas for how we can integrate the Roundtable's findings into our regular offerings.
