Vegetarian Star

Jessica Chastain and several other celebrities have shared their holiday plans with E Online.

Vegan Jenna Dewan-Tatum and husband Channing Tatum are skipping the big vacation trip this year and plan staying close to home while expecting their first child. Miranda Cosgrove would like to add a new four-legged friend to her family.

And Chastain is looking forward to preparing one of her favorite Christmas dishes–poached pears and sweet potato ice cream.

“It’s delish,” the Thirty Dark Zero star said. “You poach the pears for three hours. I’m a fan of the slow roasting poaching process. I love it when it’s in the oven for hours and hours and the house smells like it.”

The vegetarian actress will probably be enjoying a faux meat alternative to Christmas dinner roast this year–or at least something else meatless.

“I don’t want to torture anything,” she said. “It’s about trying to live a life where I’m not contributing to the cruelty in the world. While I am on this planet, I want everyone I meet to know that I am grateful they are here.”
