The thing is, it still seem to scare people. It is hard to fathom exactly why, because eating only vegetables should be the most natural thing in the world.
If you are confirmed carnivore, but have a vegan coming for dinner this year, don’t feel daunted. My advice is to just cook the same vegan meal for everyone and if you do it well then no one will even notice, let alone feel aggrieved.
I have often done this in the past and find that if you have fantastic ingredients such as asparagus, woodland mushrooms and artichokes and serve them very simply, then there’s no need for much else.
