Summary
Summary
In Vegan Vegetarian Omnivore, Anna Thomas teaches cooks how to begin with delicious vegan and vegetarian recipes that everyone can eat and expand them with dairy, meat and seafood in easy variations. French lentil and farro pilaf with grilled ratatouille makes a beautiful vegan summer supper with lamb chops for the omnivores. Easy fish soup begins as a robust vegetable soup but fish can be added five minutes before serving. For dessert, have vegan gingerbread and add vanilla ice cream. With recipes and menus inspired by the vibrant produce of farmers' markets, Anna welcomes all eaters to her table--where hospitality is universal.
Author Notes
Anna Thomas wrote The Vegetarian Epicure in 1973, which transformed the landscape of American cooking. She is also the author of the James Beard Award-winning cookbook Love Soup, and, most recently, Vegan, Vegetarian, Omnivore. She lives in Los Angeles and Ojai, California.

Library Journal Review
Thomas (The Vegetarian Epicure), an accomplished vegetarian cook since the 1970s, is no stranger to dietary restrictions at the dinner table. Here she shows how to efficiently prepare holiday and everyday meals that will satisfy a wide range of eaters. She builds multicourse menus (e.g., My Christmas Eve, Taco Night at Home, A Salad for Supper for the Heat Wave) around showstopping vegetable or grain-based dishes that anyone can enjoy, complete with easy dairy, meat, or seafood options. Most of her recipes invite variation; a vegan fresh corn polenta, for example, can be dressed up with crumbled feta cheese or sauteed Italian sausage. Similarly, winter kale salad with Asian pears and celery root, satisfying on its own, can be paired with sliced smoked chicken breast. VERDICT Armed with nearly 200 of Thomas's versatile recipes, hosts can feel confident cooking one menu for all their guests. © Copyright 2015.
