Mollie Katzen, American chef and author
Mollie Katzen (born October 13, 1950, in Rochester, New York, U.S.) is an American cookbook author and artist. She is best known for the hand-lettered, whimsically illustrated vegetarian classics Moosewood Cookbook (1974) and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest (1982). Since then, she has written and illustrated a number of other books, including three highly regarded children's cookbooks, Pretend Soup (1994), Honest Pretzels (1999), and Salad People (2005). In 2007 the Moosewood Cookbook was inducted into the James Beard Cookbook Hall of Fame. In 2017 her notebooks, correspondence, and original hand-lettered pages were collected by the Smithsonian Institution and are now permanently housed in the Archives Center of The National Museum of American History.
