“Martha Stewart Living” Favorite Recipes Include Tofu French Fries

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, March 5th, 2013 in Food & Drink, Recipes.

Martha Stewart Living has compiled a list of favorite recipes.

Stewart’s talent for seitan is just as good if not better than her uses for steak so it’s no surprise that out of the 27 dishes put into the collection, there are several suitable for vegetarians.

There are three categories for Stewart’s favorite dishes: Chicken, Pasta and Healthy. And while most (even chicken dishes) can be made vegetarian, Stewart’s Tofu French Fries are a truly vegan dish that require no substitutions.

Bill Maher On Horse Meat Scandal (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, March 4th, 2013 in Comedians, Food & Drink, TV Hosts.

Bill Maher took on the hilarious challenge of discussing the recent horse meat appearing in the food supply controversy.

Several stores in the UK were found to have been carrying meat labeled as beef that contained horse meat and most recently, IKEA has come under fire for stocking meatballs that tested positive as well.

Maher, in his usual cynical way, used the scandal to remind everyone that given the state of food labeling today, it should be no surprise such as mixup was made. And if we’re used to eating every other animal on the planet, why are we so fussy about horses?

Maher has the answer.

VB6 Mark Bittman

“I need rules. To say “I’m just going to eat better” doesn’t work for me. I can probably follow almost any rule I think that makes sense and doesn’t rob me of all of my enjoyment of food.”

“I could’ve said “vegan weekdays, omnivore weekends,” or “three weeks out of four vegan” but this makes the most sense to me. I want my health and I want to enjoy dinner.”

Mark Bittman, to WLRN on the motivation behind his flexitarian eating plan of making both breakfast and lunch vegan. Bittman’s latest book, VB6: Eat Vegan Before 6:00 to Lose Weight and Restore Your Health…For Good, will be released in April.
