Vegetarian Star

Roger Ebert has written a cookbook dedicated to rice cookers, The Pot and How to Use It. The Mystery and Romance of the Rice Cooker, which is scheduled for release in September.

Anna Thomas, author of vegetarian cookbooks like “The Vegetarian Epicure,” and “Love Soup,” has written an introduction to the book.

Inside, The Pot, is promised to be filled with Ebert’s favorite recipes, which sound as if they can at least be made vegetarian, for chili, risotto and Ebert’s favorite–oatmeal. The longtime film critic has named the rice cooker as one of his favorite kitchen appliances and he told the AP one could eat for week using it to cook several meals a day.

"Feed Your Pet Right" Marion Nestle

Marion Nestle, author of Feed Your Pet Right, wrote the book to bring pet owners a summary of what goes on in the industry that produces savory sauces for four legged connoisseurs. Nestle examines various pet food diets from dry, canned, wet, semi-most, premium, all-natural, and yes, the vegetarian and vegan.

Nestle sat down with Time Magazine to discuss the book, where she gave her take on veggie dogs and cats.

“Cats are carnivorous, but there’s plenty of research that shows they’re perfectly capable of digesting grains, as long as they also get the amino acids, vitamins and minerals they need. Dogs are fine with grains too. In fact, most complete and balanced pet-food products contain grains.”

The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook

Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM), along with Robyn Webb, has co-authored a cookbook filled with recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts without any animal products whatsoever.

Blog Critics reports Dr. Barnard and Webb use of a lot of curry, an Indian spice, in the 125 recipes that are not heavy on manufactured protein like texturized vegetable protein. Nor will you find mundane ideas for a meal like granola. Try green chile and oyster mushroom crepes for breakfast instead.

The PCRM recommends a vegetarian diet for good health. May the Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook get on every patient’s prescription list, as a vegetarian diet is one of the best ways to fight diseases like diabetes and heart disease that dominate, complicate and burden health care.

Cook To Bang

A new cookbook has provided recipes for men and women to feed their date that are supposed to almost guarantee a good night–and a good morning.

Cook to Bang: The Lay Cook’s Guide to Getting Laid is a humorous cookbook by Spencer Walker who maintains a website with the same name. Featuring recipe titles such as “Tap That Ass-paragus Soup,” Cook To Bang is pretty much self-explanatory in what a potential chef’s goals are from picking up a copy of the book. Better yet, from the reviews of the cookbook, Cook To Bang may be a handy guide for the vegetarian and vegan players.

“I felt inclined to comment on how COOK TO BANG helped a girl out. I am in a relationship with a great guy, but I never knew how to get some serious morning action. Thanks to Sex Crazy Mofo Tofu Scramble, my boyfriend went all sex crazy after breakfast… Cook to Bang works for girls too.” –MADELINE IN LOS ANGELES

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

Meat Is For Pussies by punk rocker John Joseph has already gained the attention of several notables in the vegetarian community. Serving as no-nonsense advice for getting healthy and removing the junk from your body, Joseph’s book emphasizes that the only wimpy men out there are the ones still grabbing a double-double for dinner. Here’s what others have to say:

Rory Freedman, co-author of Skinny Bitch:
“Meat is for Pussies will completely transform your mind, body, and life. It’ll also score you major ass with hot vegan chicks.”

Moby:
“I’m really glad that John Joseph is finally showing that vegans are some of the strongest, healthiest, and toughest people on the planet. I mean, everyone wants to be thin and healthy and live long lives, but people still eat meat? That’s insane.”

"Good Housekeeping Family Vegetarian Cooking"

One of the oldest magazines featuring articles related to diet, recipes and health, Good Housekeeping, has released another vegetarian cookbook, Good Housekeeping Family Vegetarian Cooking: 225 Recipes Everyone Will Love.

Good Housekeeping’s latest is said to feature a variety of meatless recipes from wraps, sandwiches, soups and casseroles and includes a chapter designed for families with only one vegetarian so the meals can incorporate meat.

Kinda silly to do for a vegetarian cookbook and you would think the lone veggie in the family chapter would be an opportunity to introduce a variety of meat substitutes or plant based substitutes like seitan.

At any rate, you may purchase the collection for around $25 retail and MSNBC has included two sample recipes on their site for what you might find inside.

"The Omnivore's Dilemma" Michael Pollan

The National Association of Scholars has compiled a report titled “What Do Colleges Want Students to Read Outside Class?” that accuses colleges of designing summer reading programs for incoming freshman that include books aimed to “either explicitly promote a liberal political agenda or advance a liberal interpretation of events.”

Michael Pollan‘s “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” is on the association’s list and is said to be “promoting environmentalism and animal rights.” Yes, a real waste of reading, that’s for sure.
