At My Table: Vegetarian Feasts for Family and Friends

On the coattails of her first book, Food, Mary McCartney brings a round of some 75 new vegetarian recipes to the table. The recipes figure into special categories--Celebration Brunch, Bonfire Party and I Heart Mexican Food, to name a few--that celebrate the connection between a passion for cooking and the joy one finds in sharing dishes with family and friends. They range from the relatively simple (scrambled eggs with chives, mixed peppers, sweet potato oven fries, wilted spinach) to the complex (herb and cheese soufflé, chocolate almond tortes, moussaka). They also feature fresh and healthy ingredients. Many of the dishes are gluten- and dairy-free, or can be adapted to accommodate these dietary restrictions. McCartney's photography brings the book to life, making it a delight to look at as well as cook from. For those searching for ready-made vegetarian menus for a variety of family-oriented events, At My Table will fit the bill. --Lee E. Cart, freelance writer and book reviewer
