Veganopolis Cafeteria was a vegan restaurant in Portland, Oregan until street crime forced its closure. But many of the recipes survive in The Veganopolis Cookbook. I particularly like the range of recipes in this cookbook, from basic to classic to veganized to unusual. There's a little something for everyone.
Meals with a mixed group of vegetarians and non-vegetarians can require a lot of extra effort from the cook. However, you can save a lot of work by making similar dishes for both groups - a vegetarian version and a meat version. Here are some adaptable vegetarian recipes that lend themselves easily to meat additions.
Being a vegetarian or vegan doesn't mean you can never again make any recipes that call for things like beef broth, eggs, or gelatin. Most animal products can be replaced with vegetarian- and vegan-friendly ingredients.
