“Top Chef Just Desserts” Gail Simmons Treats Self To Vegetarian
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 11th, 2012 in Chefs, Flexitarian, Food & Drink.
Top Chef Just Desserts’ Gail Simmons won’t call herself a full-time vegetarian, but if there are no carnivores to wait on, she often turns plant-based meals to satisfy her hunger.
“When I’m cooking for myself, I find that I eat almost completely vegetarian, although I’m not vegetarian,” Simmons told the LA Times.
“So I make a lot of vegetable soups and stews, and a lot of whole grains like barley, quinoa and brown rice. I also make a lot of salads. A salad could be a million things — I try to use lots of different vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains and seeds.”
Simmons prepares for the big vegetarian indulgence by roasting a “ton of vegetables” at the beginning of each week so she can have plenty to cook with for later meals.
She avoids processed food, but admits to having a weakness for ice cream, butterscotch and dark chocolate.
