Vegan/Vegetarian Thread (discussion, recipes, laughs)

I was reading blogs today with a fantasy dinner party theme. I came up with a great list, but maybe half the list is probably vegan and some are gluten free. Has anyone seen a site with really beautiful vegan dinner party food? I can see the deserts from some already posted here but the main courses? I'm just curious, no need for recipes just ideas.

Veggie Lovers...decided to post this documentary in this thread as well so more folks can view it. I first posted this on my Food Documentary thread.

This answers Sachita several of your questions from your post on the Food Discussion thread about why people find it difficult to stop eating processed foods. It is comprehensive and informative.

"What has happened to us? Despite the most advanced medical technology in the world, we are sicker than ever by nearly every measure.

Two out of every three of us are overweight. Cases of diabetes are exploding, especially amongst our younger population. About half of us are taking at least one prescription drug. Major medical operations have become routine, helping to drive health care costs to astronomical levels. Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the country's three leading causes of death, even though billions are spent each year to "battle" these very conditions. Millions suffer from a host of other degenerative diseases.

Could it be there's a single solution to all of these problems? A solution so comprehensive but so utterly straightforward, that it's mind-boggling that more of us haven't taken it seriously?

FORKS OVER KNIVES examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the so-called "diseases of affluence" that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn." Virgil Films on Youtube
