Kim O'Donnel presents 'The Meat Lover's Meatless Cookbook'

In the Coffeehouse at 7 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 28:

Kim O'Donnel will read from her latest book, The Meat Lover’s Meatless Cookbook: Vegetarian Recipes Carnivores Will Devour. Kim will also bring several dishes to taste, based on recipes from the cookbook.

Meatless Monday was launched in 2003 to help Americans reduce saturated fat intake. Now viewed as not only a healthy, but eco-friendly choice, becoming a once-a-week vegetarian is sweeping the nation as a way of life, with restaurants, businesses, and schools providing menus sans meat 52 days a year.

In The Meat Lover’s Meatless Cookbook: Vegetarian Recipes Carnivores will Devour, author Kim O’Donnel provides over 95 mouthwatering meatless recipes for once-a-week and full time vegetarians. With dishes ranging from gluten-free to vegan and dairy-optional fare, dishes are not only healthy, but tasty, filling, and easy to make.

Chefs looking to give Meatless Mondays a shot will find menus grouped by season, with each section containing 12 meals—one for every Monday. Established vegetarians will enjoy sections like “Kitchen Tricks,” full of helpful tips and techniques, “Wild Card,” which has meals for every season, and “Make it a Meal,” a list of favorite sides with mix-and-match versatility to jazz up meals that are already part of their everyday fare.

Kim O’Donnel is a trained chef, nationally recognized online food personality, and online journalist. A graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education, she is a regular contributor to True/Slant.com and Culinate.com. She has also written for the Washington Post, Real Simple, and Huffington Post. Born and raised in Philadelphia, she now lives in Seattle with her husband.

PLEASE NOTE: From 6-9 pm, tables and chairs will be rearranged in the Coffeehouse for the event, and the wi-fi will be turned off. Thanks for your understanding.
