She has written and illustrated three children's cookbooks, ''Pretend Soup'' (1994) (dubbed ″the gold standard of children's cookbooks″ by the ''New York Times''), ''Honest Pretzels'' (1999), and ''Salad People'' (2005). In 2007 the ''Moosewood Cookbook'' was inducted into the ''James Beard'' Cookbook Hall of Fame.
