"My idea is simple," says Anna Thomas. "Start with the food everyone eats, design a meal or a dish around that." Demonstrating how to do this in a way that is creative and nutritious, Thomas provides 150 recipes with variations for your guests' diets, including Charcoal-Grilled Marinated Chicken, Rosemary Flatbread with Truffle Honey, Winter Quinoa Salad with Smoked Cheese and Walnuts, Lemon Risotto, Black Bean Chili, Lime and Coconut Sorbet, and Dark Chocolate Almond Bark. Thomas's comprehensive cookbook is organized by type of food (including sauces and other condiments) and by its course in the meal. Also included here are full-page color photos throughout, and a section on holiday entertaining, from Thanksgiving to Easter brunch.
