Martha Stewart Says A Vegetarian Meal Is Worth Making
Written by Vegetarian Star on February 20th, 2013 in Chefs, Food & Drink.
Martha Stewart‘s first vegetarian cookbook, Meatless is the latest chatter on the Internet through veggie blogs and forums.
The ideal that one of the biggest household names in celebrity chef and home decor has devoted over 200 recipes to a plant-based diet says a lot about how mainstream the diet has gone.
Stewart spoke with Miami New Times about the trend she thinks will make more chefs realize a vegetarian meal is worth creating.
Here are a few highlights:
New Times: Your demo at this year’s Grand Tasting Village will feature a vegetarian dish from your new book, Meatless. Some chefs say a meatless meal is not worth cooking — or eating. Do you agree?
Martha Stewart: I disagree with chefs who say you can’t have a full vegetarian meal, because there are so many recipes that offer a balanced dish despite the fact that there’s no meat. I’m not 100 percent vegetarian, but there are many, many days I don’t eat meat. I have a vegetarian daughter and there’s no meat at all in her household of five. They’re all thriving. I have many friends who are vegetarian; some are vegan. I’m very happy with eating sushi one night a week and eating a lot of vegetables. I usually eat fish rather than meat.
Do you think that the average American would benefit from cutting back on meat intake and eating a few vegetarian meals per week?
I really think it has to do with the environment, having a more sustainable lifestyle, a longer life. It has to do with what we shouldn’t be eating as much as what we do.
