Mollie Katzen


Mollie Katzen (born October 13, 1950 in Rochester, New York, U.S.) is an American chef, cookbook author and artist. She is best known for her vegetarian cookbook, the Moosewood Cookbook (1974), inspired by the Moosewood Restaurant she helped create, but left in 1978 "amid some bitter accusations that she had appropriated group recipes as her own." She later authored and illustrated several other best-selling vegetarian cookbooks, including The Enchanted Broccoli Forest (1982), Still Life with Menu (1988), and Vegetable Heaven and Sunlight Cafe (1997); three children's cookbooks (Pretend Soup (1994), Honest Pretzels and Salad People (1999) and recently co-authored (with Walter Willett) Eat, Drink and Weigh Less: A Flexible and Delicious Way to Shrink Your Waist Without Going Hungry. She has lectured extensively on nutrition and hosted a cooking program on the Public Broadcasting Service.

She attended the Eastman School of Music and Cornell University, and received her bachelor's degree in fine arts from the San Francisco Art Institute. She is the sister of Boston Symphony Orchestra horn player Daniel Katzen.

With over 5 million books in print, Mollie Katzen is listed by The New York Times as one of the best-selling cookbook authors of all time. Named by Health Magazine as one of the five "Women Who Changed the Way We Eat," and personally selected by the Dean as a founding member of the new Harvard School of Public Health Leadership Council, Ms. Katzen holds a charter seat at the Harvard School of Public Health Nutrition Roundtable and was an inaugural inductee to new Natural Health Hall of Fame. Largely credited with moving healthful gourmet food from the fringe to the center of American dinner plates, Ms. Katzen has now formed a partnership with Harvard University as both a consultant to Harvard University Dining and the architect of their new, groundbreaking Food Literacy Initiative.
