Title : Vegan Dinner Parties
Author : Linda Majzlik
Publisher : Jon Carpenter Publishing; Illustrate edition
Year : February 1, 1999
ISBN : 1897766467
(Amazon.com)

 
     
 

About the Book : If no one has yet told you that vegan food is varied, healthy and scrumptious, this is just the book for you. The author's choice of genuinely cruelty-free ingredients varies from the more exotic to the reassuringly homely, but they all stimulate the taste buds and they're all available on the high street. Vegan food is much in demand as more people are advised to avoid dairy products for health reasons. It is also a logical next choice after becoming a vegetarian, since meat is not the only animal product dependent on cruelty and abuse. So these recipes avoid the use of milk, butter, cream, honey and eggs, as well as meat and its by-products. All the recipes are tried and tested. Although they are organized into monthly menus, you can of course pick and choose to make up menus and dishes for any occasion.
