Vegetarian Star

Lisa Bonet and daughter Zoe Kravitz were recently spotted snacking at a vegan restaurant in NY. Bonet will be joining the cast of ABC’s Life on Mars on October 9th.

We expect she’s been pretty busy lately, which is why she took a break from acting not so long ago. The latest addition to the family, Lola Iolani Momoa, is only 13 months old!

Those of us who grew up watching T.V. in the 80s remember Bonet playing Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show, as well as A Different World.

Pamela Anderson is quite the vocal vegan, but when she’s not calling a particular carnivore b$%ch or wh#$e, she can be found giving more positive reinforcement, such as letting everyone know where the best vegan food establishments are in L.A.

“Los Angeles is the easiest place in the world to eat vegan,” she told the LA Times.  A lot of people know about the great meatless entrees at Real Food Daily and Newsroom Cafe, but there are some other places that have very unique menus.”

So if you’re in L.A. with some non veg friends and need to munch at a place that’s not as well known for tempeh, Anderson has been kind enough to point you in the right direction.

Pure Luck:

Fried pickles, vegan sloppy joes and BBQ sandwiches. And they cook with jack fruit, which is an amazing fruit they use to make the mock meat tangy.

Astro Burger

If you are a fast food junkie you can always count on the Astro Burger on Melrose near Paramount Studios for veggie chili dogs and soy chicken fajitas.

If you read the rest of Pamela’s list, you can actually vote on whether or not you think she knows what she’s talking about, at least when it comes to good vegan food.

It’s about time the cast of a medical drama realize an apple a day really can keep the doctor away. Grey’s Anatomy’s actress Sandra Oh took a bunch of members of the crew and cast to Truly Vegan, a vegan restaurant in Hollywood, to sample dozens of vegan delights, according to Star magazine.

According to sources, the (TV) doctors are convinced vegan food is good medicine. Here’s more of the scoop: Patrick Dempsey really enjoyed the vegan chocolate cake. Ellen Pompeo has gone back several times since the August 1st outing to enjoy many more McDreamy vegan goodies and McSteamy Veggies.

Truly Vegan is reported to be one of Oh’s favorite vegan restaurants.

It’s not too late to vote for your favorite veg celebrity for the 2008 Veggie Awards hosted by Veg News magazine. And while you’re at it, you can, cough, cough, make us a write in candidate for best veg blog. No really. We’re not listed, but there’s a beautiful empty box that will allow you to enter your favorite vegetarian blog. Just a suggestion for your veg politics, of course. We’re not radical or anything. But you may think of our write in victory as the Ralph Nador that’s not going to get away.

You could win lunch with Dan Piraro. We heard if you’re really nice, he’ll show his chicken breasts to you.

Some celebs in the running include Alicia Silvertone, Benjamin Zephaniah, and Emily Deschanel for best vegan celebrity. For vegan musicians, Moby, Chrissie Hynde, and Russell Simmons are vying for the title. And Mac Danzig, who thinks PETA is sooo junior high is competing for best vegan athlete.

But there are many other benefits to making us a write-in candidate, such as you winning fake leather bags, and vegan bakery goodies such as chocolate and veg marshmallows in the prize pool.

So take a net trip over there before the end of August, vote for your favorite (subliminal: Vegetarian Star, Vegetarian Star, Vegetarian Star) vegetarian blog, and best of luck in the drawings!

Gwyneth Paltrow teamed up with Italian designer Tod’s and has been modeling fox fur and fur lined boots in advertisements. Obviously, PETA is not too pleased:

“We’ve written to her many times, and sent her videos showing how animals suffer for fur, but have never received a response,” said a spokesperson for the group.

“Apparently her beauty really is only skin deep. Gwyneth Paltrow won’t be the apple of her daughter’s eye if she continues to flaunt fur. It’s a terrible example to set for a young child.”

But the story is even better, as she is the wife of Coldplay’s Chris Martin, a vegetarian.

Sources say she may be jeopardizing her friendship with vegetarians and animal lovers, such as Stella McCartney. And we already know how she feels about the whole fur thing.

Emily Deschanel, star of the crime solving TV series, Bones, was on Craig Ferguson discussing her vegan diet, including her love for vegan cheese. Craig mentions that he doesn’t want to drink soy milk because he’s afraid of “growing boobs.” Deschanel explains there are lots of other non-dairy options, such as rice and cashew milk. To which Craig responds, “How do you milk a cashew?”

Some of her favorite “junk” vegan food on the show include french fries and vegan milkshakes.

The interview is spread over 2 videos. The vegan talk starts later in the first one, about minute 7 or so and continues immediately on video 2.

A couple of days ago, we introduced you to Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos. Turns out, after examining that website more closely, there are several other celebrity favorite recipes that also looked tasty. So we decided to bring them all to you in case you were too hungry to bother clicking more to go to the site. Enjoy!

Emily Deschanel’s Seitan Piccata from The Millennium Cookbook – Extraordinary Vegetarian Cuisine,by Eric Tucker and John Westerdahl, Dessert Recipes by Sascha Weiss.

Serves 6

HERB CRUST:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
1/3 cup polenta
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 
1 cup soy milk
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
6 servings (1 1/2 pounds) marinated seitan, cut into medallions
1/4 cup canola oil

PICCATA SAUCE:
2 teaspoons minced garlic
6 paper-thin lemon slices
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cups dry white wine (you can use non-alcoholic wine)
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot, dissolved in 3 tablespoons cold water
Thin lemon slices and minced fresh parsley or chives for garnish

DIRECTIONS:
In a shallow bowl, combine all the ingredients for the herb crust. In another shallow bowl, combine the soy milk and mustard. Dredge the seitan with the crust mixture, dip in the soy milk mixture, then dredge again in the crust mixture. Cook the seitan in a dry nonstick pan over medium-high heat until lightly brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Keep warm in low oven.

To make the sauce: Wipe out the pan and place it over medium heat. Add the garlic and toast until lightly browned. Add the lemon slices, the remaining sauce ingredients. Boil until the volume is reduced by almost half. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened. Serve the hot sauce over seitan. Garnish with more lemon slices and parsley.

When she’s not eating Raw Balls, Alicia Silverstone likes Peanut Butter Crispy Rice Treats as well.

A couple of days ago, we introduced you to Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos. Turns out, after examining that website more closely, there are several other celebrity favorite recipes that also looked tasty. So we decided to bring them all to you in case you were too hungry to bother clicking more to go to the site. Enjoy!

Alicia Silverstone actually has 2 more recipes over there, but since celebs have big egos anyway, we don’t want to make them even more grandiose, thus we’re only featuring 1 for each.

Peanut Butter Crispy Rice Treats
1 3/4 cups brown rice syrup
1 pinch sea salt
3/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter (all natural)
1 box brown rice crisps cereal
1/2 cup grain-sweetened chocolate chips (optional)

Heat rice syrup with a pinch of salt in a saucepan over low heat. When rice syrup liquefies, add peanut butter and stir until well combined and heated through.

Pour entire box of cereal into a large bowl. Pour rice syrup mixture on top. Use your hands to incorporate everything together (mix in grain-sweetened chocolate chips at this point, if using).

Press down into an 8″×8″ or 9″×13″ baking dish. Wet your fingers as your press down to keep them from sticking. Let cool for 1 hour before cutting into squares.
