Join our flexitarian cooking class and learn 7 recipes from the previous and new "Flex Appeal" cookbooks from author Nettie Cronish.

It's all about balancing our ethics with our tastebuds, and our vegetarian friends with our meat-eating ones. Choosing to reduce your meat intake, and to buy organic vegetables, free-range chickens and animals raised humanely and without drugs on small, mixed-crop farms are all ethical alternatives to a strict vegan diet. Flex Appeal shows you how to make these choices for your family, and to ease even the staunchest meat-and-potatoes eater into healthier and more sustainable eating—without asking them to give up meat.
