Description
"Is there a blocked vegetarian in your life? If you are someone who has adopted vegetarianism or veganism, you know that living with and eating with meat eaters can present a myriad of difficult issues. Summer barbecues, meals out, Thanksgiving dinner, or even a simple business lunch can be cause for discussions questioning your lifestyle choice, leading at best to awkward situations, and at worst to anger and defensiveness. Beyond these often tense encounters, simple day-to-day tasks like show more grocery shopping and preparing the evening meal can be tough, especially when your husband, wife, partner, or child doesn't share your commitment to living as a vegetarian or vegan. In this bold and original book, Carol J. Adams offers real-life advice that vegetarians can use to defuse any situation where their dietary choices may be under attack and suggests viewing meat eaters as blocked vegetarians. Always insightful, this practical guide is full of self-tests, strategies, meditations on vegetarianism, and tips for dining out and entertaining at home when meat eaters are on the invite list. As well as being a source of support and information, Living Among Meat Eaters contains more than fifty of Carol Adams's favorite vegetarian recipes, including appertizers and beverages, breakfasts and quick lunches, main dishes, soups and sauces, side dishes, and baked goods and desserts."-- show lessTags

This work is mis-labeled as a cookbook; it really isn't, although there are a few recipes at the end. It's much more a strident and very defensive argument for vegetarianism as a way of life.
As an omnivore who loves vegetarian food, I couldn't appreciate it, and was really quite disappointed by it.
