This is the guide to help meat eaters become more veg-savvy. It includes 52 menus for a year of Meatless Mondays, with various adaptations and spin-offs (with vegan options, too). ''The Meat Lover's Meatless Cookbook'' speaks directly to life-long meat lovers who know it's time for dietary change but need an accessible, tasty, nurturing and non-threatening guide to open the door, wave them into the kitchen and help them get started. Don't mistake ''The Meat Lover's Meatless Cookbook'' for yet another diet book or one of those vegetarian cookbooks written for full-time, committed vegetarians and vegans - books that are not suited to the average meat eater's lifestyle and palate. This is a meatless field guide that inspires meat lovers to diversify their diets and do some good for their bodies and the environment. The strategy is measured and manageable: 52 meatless menus-one per week-mirroring the do-able, incremental approach recommended by the environmental and medical communities and reflecting the way more and more of us eat today.
