Synopsis

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.
