I was looking for information on this same topic, so I thought I resurrect an old thread...

I received a book as a present a few years ago called "Party Food for Vegetarians". The book has a very few seafood recipes (nice, since the only meat I do eat is seafood), but is mostly vegan or vegetarian. And I think it's one of the best veggie "party food" books out there - everything from cocktail bites, appetizers, to full course meals. In it there are lots of tiki-esque foods that work really well with mai-tais, zombies, and the like. I'd recommend buying it if you can get your hands on it for entertaining those that don't eat animals - or like me, that only eat finfish/shellfish when consuming things that have eyes (although potatoes have eyes, don't they?).
A few tiki-compatible samplings include:
-Teriyaki Almonds
-Banana, coconut & lime muffins
-Thai tuna and mango salad
-Turmeric potatoes with lemon & coconut
-Broiled stuffed peaches
-Broiled tofu & mango skewers

There are some more hearty and substantial dishes in there, but these are some of my favorites.

I'd be happy to post these recipes for anyone interested, but recommend buying the book. Good food for veggies and non-veggies alike.

I've hesitated buying the "Taboo Table" to go with my other Berry books only because I fear it's loaded with red meat and poulty recipes. Can anyone tell me definitively if it's worth buying for seafood/veggie/drink recipes alone?
