Robin Quivers Linda Long Candle 79

Robin Quivers was a guest at Candle 79 during a film with Linda Long, food photographer and author of Great Chefs Cook Vegan.

Howard Stern’s co-host lost 70 pounds by going on a vegan diet that she’s stuck with long after the pounds were gone.

Candle 79 is a vegan restaurant in New York City’s upper east side that features gourmet meals like seitan over pasta, black bean burgers with polenta fries and dairy-free, egg free chocolate desserts. A chef is on hand to explain how nut cheese is made, by soaking macademia or cashews in water for several hours and then blending to a cream consistency.

Quivers’ favorite dishes at Candle 79 are the steamed dumplings and seitan picatta. Quivers can’t enough of healthy, plant and fruit drinks as opposed to soda and discusses a recent study she’s heard about that found two sodas a day increased the risk of pancreatic cancer.
