Vegetarian Star

What will it be for breakfast next time? Tofu scramble? Vegan french toast? How about tofu french toast.

Sounds a little strange, but Goldfinger singer John Feldmann has a recipe combining the sweet taste of soy milk and sugar on french bread with the protein kick of tofu.

The masterpiece, taken from PETA’s 2002 book, The PETA celebrity cookbook, will probably give you the same feeling you got when you first tried tofu in dessert–from pudding to pie filling, it sounded so wrong, but tasted so darn good.

Amanda Cohen of Dirt Candy

Amanda Cohen, chef and owner of  vegetarian restaurant Dirt Candy in New York city, has received PETA’s prize of $10,000 for creating the best tasting vegetarian dish to taste like real foie gras.

Cohen beat out 37 other chefs for the top prize for a substitute where geese aren’t painfully force fed through tubes until their livers swell several times the normal size.

Cohen’s vegan version of foie gras is a mushroom mousse, made with portobellos, soy milk, vegan margarine, and onions, and has been on Dirty Candy’s menu for awhile.

It’s a safe bet humans will voluntarily stuff themselves with this appetizer until their bellies expand in size.

The Terminator is helping to terminate hen cruelty in California.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has just signed a law that will require all whole (shell) eggs sold in California to come from hens that were able to, “stand up, lie down, turn around, and fully extend their limbs without touching one another or the sides of an enclosure,” according to the Humane Society blog.

That means California will essentially be a cage-free state.

Ok, so the men aren’t totally naked. But close enough.

Betty White can be found soaking up the good life in a new calendar that will benefit the Morris Animal Foundation, an organization she has supported and worked with for almost 50 years that conducts research related to animal well being, such as helping more dogs get adopted by developing quick, efficient behavioral test that predicts compatibility with a home.

The 2011 Betty White Calendar contains archive photos, as well as current ones of White posing with animals–both two and four legged.

The calendar is $12.99 and goes on sale in September.

Weird Al Yankovic recently had the chance to sample vegetarian cuisine from The Mustard Seed, a natural foods store and deli located in Watertown, New York, a city close to the Canadian Border and Thousand Islands.

To fuel Weird Al before and after his concert performance, stage crew manager J.P. Voytko said he had to think a moment before catering for Al, since most other performers are satisfied with standard road kill entrees.

The Food Network is red hot with vegetarian friendly features on its shows!

Besides two vegan friendly cupcake bakers who squared off against their egg and dairy counterparts in “Cupcake Wars,” (not to mention the vegan chef who took home the grand $10,000 prize), more vegetarian chefs are set to compete in a new reality competition where aspiring restaurateurs must design all the works of a restaurant–from food, decor and concept. The winner walks away from start up money to pursue the dream!

On Wednesday, August 18th at 10PM E/P, 24 Hour Restaurant Battle will put a couple of friends with an idea for a vegetarian friendly menu against a father and son team.

There’s a good chance Eubanks will stick to his roots and prepare plant based meals on the show because according to a source, the pilot idea came from Eubank’s experiences cooking meals for his friends in his own Los Angeles kitchen.

“I’ve been a life-long vegetarian, and sometimes people say, “Aren’t you curious to have a steak?” The answer is that since I’ve literally never looked at meat as potential food, a piece of chicken looks about as mouth-watering as a cardboard box.”

–Instrumentalist and composer Franz Nicolay, to Large Hearted Boy.
