Kim O’Donnel knows meat eaters. In fact, she is one. As a voice for the Meatless Monday campaign, she’s been cooking up delicious you-won’t-miss-the-meat fare for the vegetarian-curious-but-vegan’s-too-crazy crowd. With a focus on holidays (or any celebration), O’Donnel’s versatile recipes ensure that eaters of all dietary stripes will leave the table satisfied. Cast aside those fears of cardboard tofurkey and gray starches. Instead, revel in dishes that inspire, surprise, and are so tasty, “meatless” is an afterthought (with allergy- and animal- free options, to boot).

“I can’t think of amore cordial or welcoming tone with which to invite possibly skeptical meat eaters into the world of delicious, accessible plant-based cooking.”—Mollie Katzen, author of Moosewood Cookbook

are folks in the rice cooker camp and those, like yours truly, who swear by the boiled water/stovetop method. My friend Fuzzy has a trick that involves toasting the grains in one pot, boiling water in another, and mixing the two. The lesson learned: Do what works for you. Here’s how it’s done in our kitchen. HERE’S WHAT YOU DO: Bring the rice and the water to a boil in a medium-size saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender to the bite. The

You will have two mango “cheeks.” Cut each “cheek” into smaller slices, about 1-inch thick. Slice off each of the smaller sides and slice into small pieces if needed. Using a salt grinder or mortar and pestle, lightly grind the salt. Transfer to a small bowl, and stir in the lime zest, followed by the cayenne. Taste and add more if needed. Divide the salt
