CHRISTMAS

A Joyful Vegan Christmas Dinner
from Vegetarians in Paradise

Christmas is that time year that allows us to express joy in so many ways--joy in sharing the holiday with friends and family, joy in giving and receiving gifts, joy in seeing our homes dressed with festive decorations, and joy in feasting on foods that bring us pleasure without guilt. The menu we've planned for this joyous occasion is from the plant kingdom, elegant and hearty vegan fare for a regal holiday table.

We begin by raising our cup of rich Yuletide Soy Nog and toasting the holiday with friends and family in a ritual that begins the festivities with a joyful clink of glasses.

Gathering at the table for Christmas dinner we share our joy with a lovingly prepared, delectable soup as the starter. In keeping with the colors of Christmas, our Winter Rhapsody Soup creates a dazzling display with its brilliant hues of intense magenta. The featured ingredients, beets and potatoes, happily join hands, their flavors heightened with a splash of lemon and dill.

Our Apple Accent Salad features the deep greens of romaine and arrugula sweetly punctuated with chunks of bright red apples. Accents of purple, yellow, and orange from a variety of fresh vegetables are complemented with the addition of crunchy toasted pecans. Highlighting the salad is the Oil-Free Cranberry Salad Dressing quickly made in the blender from fresh cranberries.

The hearty entrée is a delectable medley of rainbow colors with Curried Christmas Timbales, Cranberry Salsa, Steamed Brussels Sprouts, Symphony in Squash, and Buckwheat with Savory Mushroom Sauce. Abundant and satisfying, each dish is sparked with a richness of robust flavors. There's no doubt this is elegant vegan dining.

Perhaps dessert, the best part of the meal, according to dessert aficionados, is served by the fireside, ending the festive evening by the warmth of a crackling fire. Sweet, spicy, and crunchy, Sugar Plum Nuts, prepared several days ahead, are the perfect nut nibbles.

But the grand finale, a stunning, aromatic, spicy indulgence is Quince Mince Cobbler,
