Cara Mangini has heard the question before: If I eat this vegetarian meal, will I end up still hungry?

The question would sometimes come up when she’d serve an entirely plant-based menu for catered corporate events. Some attendees would invariably be worried; unlike at a restaurant, they wouldn’t have a choice. But Mangini’s answer, told definitively through her Little Eater catering company and her cookbooks, is a resounding no.
