This book is more than the story of a remarkable soccer team, it is the story of a determined woman and a town rocked by prejudices and the ravages of not just one, but several wars. St. John combines history, politics, and memoir in this heartbreaking and heartwarming story of a group of boys whose only connection is their love of soccer.

Katzen originally compiled this collection of recipes from the bohemian Moosewood Cafe she helped found in the 1970s in Ithaca, NY. The book retains the spirit of the restaurant in its hand written and illustrated pages, and healthfully delicious recipes. Worth it for the Mushroom Strudel recipe alone, this simple yet elegant cookbook is invaluable for any home cook, vegetarian or otherwise.
