More and more people are choosing to eat less meat. It is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of the population of the United States and Canada is flexitarian. But what is a flexitarian? Is it a vegetarian who occasionally eats meat, or is it a mindful meat eater who occasionally seeks out vegetarian meals? The answer is they're both flexitarians. So, how do you cook for one? 
 And then there are those households that include unwavering meat lovers and committed vegetarians: your son has decided to become vegetarian, and you're learning to cook for the whole family. Or perhaps you're entertaining both meat-eating and vegetarian dinner guests and you don't want to make two completely separate meals. Or you've been thinking about reducing your meat intake, but never at the expense of a delicious, satisfying meal. 
 With Everyday Flexitarian, Nettie and Pat will give you recipes that can be easily adjusted to please every person at your table. The main dishes can be tailored for both the vegetarian and meat eater, with instructions on when to separate the vegetarian portions, when to add the meat or fish, or what to add instead of meat to retain healthy protein levels. This is the perfect guide for creating a tolerant kitchen and embracing responsible consumption. 
 Recipes include (with the optional meat in italics): Wild and Brown Rice Soup with Three Kinds of Mushroom and Braised Cod Buddha Dragon Bowl with Lemongrass and Bacon-Broiled Scallops Penne with Chicken, Chickpeas, Spinach, and Roasted Asparagus and plenty of recipes for beverages, desserts, marinades, and sauces too!

Flex Appeal is all about balancing our ethics with our tastebuds, and our vegetarian friends with our meat-eating ones. Choosing to reduce your meat intake, and to buy organic vegetables, free-range chickens and animals raised humanely and without drugs on small, mixed-crop farms are all ethical alternatives to a strict vegan diet. Flex Appeal shows you how to make these choices for your family, and to ease even the staunchest meat-and-potatoes eater into healthier and more sustainable eating -- without asking them to give up meat. 
 Flex Appeal is part vegetarian cookbook and part meat mastery. Most of the meals in the book have a "flex appeal" option -- they're a delicious vegetarian base with a suggested meat to add to the dish or on the side. 
 Pat and Nettie have gone through their recipe Rolodex to supply over 100 new and fresh ideas, most of which can be prepared in less than an hour. With many helpful tips -- including tips on roasting chicken, fish and beef -- this is a necessary book for anyone cooking for a family that has multiple tastes and needs. With Flex Appeal, dinner for four is now a snap.

Flex Appeal: A Vegetarian Cookbook for Families with Meat-Eaters

Eating healthily and well isn't about a pinch of calcium here and dose of Vitamin C there, it's about eating whole foods that are rich in nutrients, and no type of food has more readily accessible nourishment than whole, unprocessed foods that are close to nature. 
 Nutritious, inexpensive, tasty and underutilized, legumes like beans, lentils, nuts and seeds are more flexible than their reputation suggests. Vegetarians have been in on the secret for a long time, but everyone should benefit from the nutritional impact of these small wonders. Legumes can be incorporated seamlessly into familiar foods like granola and chili, your morning oatmeal, and the crust on tuna or lamb chops. 
 Include more legumes in your diet with recipes like: Apricot Ginger Granola Beets with Spicy Goat Cheese and Pumpkin Seed Pralines Tortilla and Tomatillo Soup with Lime-Chia Yogurt Maple Glazed Lamb Chops with Brussels Sprout-Apple Slaw 
 You do not need to follow a different eating plan for weight control, heart health, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes or many other health concerns. The very same eating plan -- more whole foods, less processed foods, and more home cooking -- is recommended for anyone who wants to be healthy. This book provides dozens of delicious, approachable recipes made with wholesome beans, nuts, seeds and lentils.

New from the author of the acclaimed Everyday Flexitarian! 
We live in an age when consumers are more informed than ever about what they buy, eat and use. Local producers and chefs educate their customers to understand exactly where the food they consume comes from and how it was grown or raised. People are eager to educate themselves, and to spend money on products and ingredients that benefit their bodies, environment and communities. That is why buying fair trade ingredients has a tremendous social impact. 
With The Fair Trade Ingredient Cookbook, Nettie Cronish gives consumers an understanding of the process -- explaining how an ingredient qualifies for fair trade certification and how that product reaches a supermarket shelf. Each chapter will include an interview with a fair trade producer and provide background along with the benefits of fair trade ingredients. 
From the cocoa farmers in Belize, the campesina coffee growers of Chiapas, the banana farmers and workers of Ecuador, to the Palestinian olive growers of the West Bank, this book is the story of farmers and workers sharing the desire for a better world. 
The Fair Trade Ingredient Cookbook is filled with many diverse recipes using fair trade ingredients that would charm many a palate, including: Chai Rice Pudding using fair trade coconut milk Garlic Braised Swiss Chard using fair trade olive oil Guinness Cocoa Cake using fair trade cocoa Organic Meringues using fair trade sugar Quinoa Falafel Balls using fair trade quinoa Espresso Glazed Coffee Cake using fair trade coffee Curried Banana Cream Pie using fair trade bananas.
