Vegetarian Star

Single digit temperatures and snowy days make winter one of the best seasons to stay inside and try new recipes.

The Daily Green is featuring creations by several celebrity chefs, including vegan chefs Tal Ronnen and Bryant Terry and local food advocate Alice Waters.

The best treats, however, are vegetarian recipes by non vegetarian chefs like Jamie Oliver.

Although a target of animal rights activists for serving meat in his restaurants, Oliver has been outspoken about knowing the source of your food and improving the quality of food in school lunches in the UK.

His Vegetable Jalfrezi makes for a nice dish to enjoy at home, or to include in the children’s lunchbox.

Spices of ginger, garlic and cilantro liven up garbanzo beans and combine with vegetables such as cabbage and tomatoes to serve over rice and top with yogurt.

Banned In Hollywood has compiled its list of 6 celebrities who pose to save the environment.

Pose could mean they’re serious about their recycling and eating less meat or that they’re just looking for a Sigg ad to complete their resume.

But when it comes to vegetarian celebrities like Paul McCartney and singer Pink, you know they’re serious about promoting their beliefs.

Paul McCartney launched his meat-free Monday campaign in hopes of having everyone skip beef, pork and poultry for just one day a week.

And singer Pink puts compassion behind her argument against the environmentally unfriendly fur industry, never hesitating to trash another celebrity for being cruel enough to purchase animal hide.

Shiri Appleby plays Cate on The CW series Life Unexpected, about a teenage girl named Lux (Britt Robertson), finding her biological parents.

Robertson says she and her screen mother are completely opposites and it sounds as if Robertson could use a little advice in the nutrition category.

According to Robertson, Appleby works out for 2 hours a day and is a vegan, which probably means she won’t be sharing Robertson’s breakfast on the set unless someone buys her egg-free and milk-free donuts.

“I eat like no other,” Robertson said. “It drives everyone crazy. I eat donuts three times a day and I probably go through four Mountain Dews a day. I’m on like a sugar high at all times, pretty much.”

“When she sees me with my Mountain Dew, eating chips and a donut at 4 in the morning, she’s like, ‘Wow. Wait until you’re 30.’”

Could Appleby’s influence produce some unexpected diet changes in Roberston this season?

Once upon a time, many steaks ago, Kate Moss was rumored to be a vegetarian.

Now she hosts parties with fur rugs on the floor, but she might try to please one of her best vegetarian friends, Stella McCartney by going vegetarian again for one day a week.

The Sun reported a source said, “Kate has spent time catching up with Stella during Paris Fashion Week and finally agreed to support her friend by going without meat for a day each week.”

Kate’s been snacking on raw and other vegetarian food lately and is thinking of dining once of week with Stella to keep the Meat-Free Monday vow.

The buddy system is a great way to achieve goals like maintaining a regular exercise routine or quitting smoking.

Is a meat-free sponsor what everybody needs to take the plunge to help themselves, the animals and the environment?

Anthony Bourdain, celebrity chef, foe of vegetarians and overall smart-ass commented that he’ll eat just about anything except pets.

“I have strong convictions about what’s fluffy and what’s food,” Bourdain said, in the Cape Cod Times.

So Fido, Pixie and Max are off the menu.

And according to Bourdain, vegetarian food should be too if you don’t want to offend your meat eating guests.

“It’s just not polite to be a vegetarian when you travel,” the No Reservations star added.

Since Anthony travels across continents for his culinary adventures, one has to wonder if his rule of etiquette applies to domestic adventures too.

Does he expect vegetarians to shut up and eat the turkey after coming all the way from over the river and through the woods to grandma’s house?

If so, better hope the reindeer takes care of her before you’re halfway there.

Not that you don’t love your grandma.

Anthony describes his worst food experience as eating the “poop chute of a wart hog” while in Kalahari.

Guess he figures sometimes it’s better to be anal.
