"I Like Food, Food Tastes Good"

I Like Food, Food Taste Good is a collection of recipes from bands that features an entire chapter on vegetarian main courses.

In fact, from glancing at the table of contents, it looks like meatless recipes make up about a 1/4 of the book.

The Night Before Mac-and-Cheese, Tofu Pot Pie, Semi Raw Everyday Pasta, The Karate Kid and Uncle Kyle’s Avocado Tacos all sound tasty with an interesting story.

Death Cab For Cutie‘s Veggie Sausage with Peanut Butter sandwich is included in the mix.

Vegetarian music enthusiasts, this is something you’ll want to add to your collection.

Shahid Kapoor Grabs Vegetarian Sushi After “Badmaash Company”

'Badmaash Company' Press Call

What Bollywood star has only recently discovered vegetarian sushi?

None other than Shahid Kapoor.

Co-star Vir Das from his latest film, Badmaash Company, is responsible for the addiction.

While shooting for the film, the two would often go out for dinner together and the same cuisine always got suggested.

“It turned out to be a big hit with Shahid and every night they all went out to a new sushi place,” said a source.

“I don’t think Shahid had eaten sushi before. I took everybody to one of the best sushi places in Bangkok that had a wide vegetarian selection,” Vir said. “I love sushi. It’s healthy, it’s fast and tasty too.”

When making vegetarian sushi at home, don’t forget to peruse Mark Bittman’s tips for doing so.

Update–Starbucks Soy Strawberries And Crème Frappuccino

A Starbucks drink is seen on a table in New York's Times Square

An update on that vegan Frappuccino you’re thinking of purchasing at the Starbucks down the street.

Or across the street.

Or inside the Target you buy toilet paper from.

You know, they’re not hard to find.

Anyway, Starbucks is now offering various Frappuccinos and some are vegan.

The Soy Strawberries and Crème sounds milky, but a careful request to leave some things off will give you a completely vegan drink.

This Dish Is Vegetarian contacted the company and found this out:

“We contacted Starbucks yesterday and found out the crème base is a sugar syrup – – non dairy. (Calling it crème was a bit confusing to us so we had to ask!) Starbucks also verified that the whipped cream is dairy based. Additionally the caramel drizzle (on the Extra Coffee Caramel Frappuccino) is made with butter. So leave off the whipped cream and the caramel and the Frapps are vegan.”

Ah, much less confusion!

Premiere Of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid

Robert Capron may star in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but he’s tough as nails because he knows the cool thing to do is adopt a pet from a shelter versus buying from a store.

He and his family adopted a dog who was severely underweight and had experienced hair loss due to mange.

Capron said Sam, the dog, is happy as can be now, despite that fact he’s “been through so much.”

If you’re clueless as to where to find your next pet, just enter your zip code to be directed to the nearest animal shelter in your area.
