tested and wrote her first recipe at 9, a
chocolate dessert that leaked out of
the oven door and across the floor.
"My wonderful, patient mother,
instead of yelling at me, said, 'Well,
this is certainly original. Let's give it a
name.' We called it 'Creeping

how to have things stay in the oven."

Katzen looks as natural as her cook-
ing, her long brown hair now cut
short, wearing loose shirts tucked
into aprons.
Her newest 26-part series,
called simply, Mollie Katzen's
Cooking Show, is airing on PBS
stations across the country.
Though not on the Detroit sched-
ule (WTVS says it may air at a
later date), it can be seen in
Michigan on stations including
those in Kalamazoo and Grand
Rapids.
The show focuses on new and clas-
sic recipes from Moosewood and The
Enchanted Broccoli Forest (Ten Speed
Press; $19.95 paper/$27.95 cloth
each). Both have been revised and
updated with five new recipes and 16
pages of color photographs.

Katzen. As she describes the Passover
seder plate as a still life, she realizes
that she continually "trips over Jewish
connections. It's not cerebral — it's
something embedded in me," she says.
Judaism, in fact, has nourished
some of her most formative memories
and shaped her attitude toward food.
Raised in a Conservative home, she
helped her mother prepare on Friday
mornings for Shabbat. It was the only
time her mother really cooked. She

spent the morning baking desserts and
challah, which was inspired by a
Pillsbury hot roll mix with directions
for egg bread.
The experience sparked a sense of
holiness for young Mollie, who was
born on a Friday and loved especially
a book about Shabbat that starred a
girl with the same name. "By the time
we served everything, the house was
clean, quiet and transformed. The
whole
thing seemed so magical. I felt
