One holiday meal. Everyone at the table.
When one person at your table doesn't eat meat, the holidays get hard. The stuffing has sausage in it, the gravy comes from the turkey pan, and the green beans have bacon. Too often the vegetarian ends up with a dinner roll and a scoop of potatoes while everyone else has a feast.
One Table Holidays fixes that without asking anyone to give up the turkey or cook two separate dinners. Using the Base and Branch method, you build each dish from one shared base and split it into a meat version and a vegetarian version at just the right moment.
Inside you'll find:
- A step-by-step holiday countdown, from three weeks out to dinnertime
- Paired centerpieces, including turkey breast with stuffed acorn squash and two wellingtons from one mushroom filling
- One roux, two gravies, plus a make-ahead freezer gravy to bring to someone else's house
- Southern sides that split, from two-pan stuffing to collard greens
- A guide to where meat hides in holiday food: stock, gelatin, lard, Worcestershire and more
- Menus for Christmas, New Year's, Easter, the Fourth of July and game day
- A whole chapter of day-after leftovers
- Sample menus, a shopping list, a day-of schedule and fill-in planning worksheets
Written by a dad who learned all of this the hard way when his youngest went vegetarian at 12, One Table Holidays helps mixed households sit down to the same holiday meal, together.
