Barack Obama David Cameron

Jamie Oliver has had some trouble convincing the Los Angeles Unified School District to let him snoop in its cafeterias, but a recent decision by the board to overhaul the food system, along with a statement from LAUSD officials praising Oliver’s efforts, shows the district at least has the sense to listen to what the British celebrity chef has to say.

Approving a 5-year contract this week, LAUSD officials gave the boot to flavored milk and other processed foods and added soy milk and other vegetarian options to the menus.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 15th, 2011 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Restaurants.

Yotam Ottolenghi (that guy who annoyed everybody by saying even fish eaters can call themselves vegetarian) will be cooking a true vegetarian meal at the most ironic of restaurants in July.

Ottolenghi will offer an evening of himself, an optional wine pairing and his recipes from his latest cookbook, Plenty, at Animal restaurant in Los Angeles.

These instructions are included with menu no-nos, which include “pubic hair,” and punishments for not following instructions, which including receiving a wedgie.
