White House Chefs Taught Chelsea Clinton To Cook Vegan

Chelsea Clinton Campaigns For Her Mother In North Carolina

Most college students leave home with knowledge of how to boil ramen noodles, bake frozen pizzas, and maybe stack high their favorite sandwich. But most college students aren’t daughters of the President.

Before Chelsea Clinton went off to Standford, Hillary asked the White House Cooking Staff to teach her daughter how to prepare delicious vegan meals. Chelsea has been keeping pork off her fork since childhood. But this was more than just a weekend of “helpful hints.” Chelsea spent an entire 6 weeks learning the craft and upon completion, she received a Walter Scheib cooking school certificate.

Masslive.com has lots of juicy details given by Walter Scheib, who served as executive chef for the White House during both Clinton and Bush presidencies, including how Hillary Clinton was really into fennel and Laura Bush was “adamant about organic.”

Howard Stern And Beth Ostrosky Wedding

Relax and leave the food voyeurism to us. Thanks to NYMag, we were able to tell you what millionaire blogger Peter Rojas ate for an entire week and the fact that he screwed up a tofu curry scramble with too much lime.

Once again, we bring you all the details of vegan celebrity food life. Robin Quivers, Howard Stern’s sidekick,  lost 70 pounds following a vegan diet. You should check out her before and after pictures–wow. She gave a sampling of her weekly munching to NYMag. Here are just a few bites:

Saturday, April 5:
Grilled vegetables, among other things.”Sometimes, I may be out to dinner and have a little pasta with vegetables or a risotto. I’ve gotten chefs to make me a risotto with olive oil instead of butter and cheese and then putting in some vegetables.”

Sunday, April 6:
Fruit smoothies with berries and coconut water. “I have a Magic Bullet [blender] in my office, and I put in these nutritional powders containing wheat grass and alfalfa in my juices.”

Monday, April 7:
“I try to stay away from white flour, but every once in a while I’ll indulge myself. I love soft pretzels — especially Aunt Annie’s.”

Tuesday, April 8:
“I had them make a vegetarian gordita without the sour cream and cheese.”

For a bigger bite of what Robin ate, you’ll have to go to NYMag and read for yourself.
