Vegetarian Star

Celebrity vegan chef Tal Ronnen is shattering the myths that vegan food is nothing but plain tofu and oatmeal in this video from Extra.

The chef who helped Oprah go vegan for almost a month and Chrissie Hynde develop the menu for her restaurant, The Vegiterranean, discusses three commons misbeliefs: bad taste, hunger and cost.

“If you take a look at your grocery bill, usually the most expensive items are the meat,” Ronnen says.

Watch the clip to hear Ronnen explain how many of the recipes in his cookbook, The Conscious Cook prevent you from going hungry two hours later.
