Tastes of the Tropics: Dinner to Please Everyone

The whole extended family’s coming to your house for dinner – Aunt Kim and Uncle Fred (old and lovable); Nina the college freshman, a committed vegan since she turned 13; Rob the meat-and-potatoes guy, and the rest of the gang, foodies and non-foodies alike. What to serve?

Anna Thomas comes to the rescue with her new cookbook, Vegan Vegetarian Omnivore, Dinner for Everyone at the Table. Cristina Favretto and Gretchen Schmidt got together with Thomas at the Miami Book Fair to talk about flavorful dishes for every eater.

Buy the book from your favorite local bookseller. One of ours is Books and Books.
