CORNELIA GUEST breaks new ground in vegan cooking with Cornelia
Guest's Simple Pleasures, and you'll find having your
friends over is a breeze with her tips on how to take the stress
out of entertaining. Cornelia's recipes raise the bar for vegan
cooking, with food so delicious that your family and friends will
not even miss the meat. The daughter of fashion icon C. Z. Guest
and polo champion Winston Guest, Cornelia learned from the best --
entertaining is in her blood, and now she's passing her secrets on
to you. Cornelia Guest's Simple Pleasures, a book as practical
as it is beautiful, will show you how to incorporate affordable,
cruelty-free eating into your daily life and to serve that
luscious, wholesome food to friends. Organized by season, each
part begins with a terrific meal -- a light spring lunch of
chilled asparagus soup and quinoa salad; an alfresco summer dinner
of veggie carpaccio and stuffed squash blossoms; a fall breakfast
buffet of pecan waffles, faux buttermilk pancakes, and raspberry
muffins; and a cozy winter's dinner of shepherd's pie with a
chocolate tart for dessert. Each seasonal section contains recipes
for beverages, soups, salads, pastas, side dishes, main courses,
and an abundance of desserts that everyone will love. Special
sections feature recipes for grains, greens, and beans. In "Notes
from My Friends," which appear throughout the opening chapters,
chefs, doctors, Cornelia's favorite veterinarian, and other health
and food experts have contributed tips, advice, and eye-opening
information. Dismissing fussy food and pretention, Cornelia believes the key
to entertaining well is simplicity. Cornelia Guest's Simple
Pleasures is filled with advice on how to set a lively and
original table, bring nature inside, and stay calm in the face of
entertaining disasters. She shows how a little thought and effort
make it a snap to create both a relaxed, warm atmosphere and
fabulous food free of animal products that will please your
friends and let you enjoy your own party. Richly illustrated with
photographs of Templeton, Cornelia's legendary home, Cornelia
Guest's Simple Pleasures captures the feeling of a
well-lived life. Cheerful, colorful, and accessible, Cornelia
Guest's Simple Pleasures will give you all you need to know
to eat in the most nutritious way possible and to serve it up with
