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.

“Look for things that are on special. Look for vegetables you can buy in bulk. Go to ethnic stores. Ethnic stores are a great source of fruits and vegetables. I buy all my avocados at a Spanish market. So look around — there’s a lot of sources of good food in places you wouldn’t necessarily be shopping.”

—Martha Stewart, to the Houston Chronicle, on finding affordable ways to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet.

Stewart’s latest cookbook, Meatless, is a great way to start practicing the art of add more bargain veggies to every meal.

After it’s premiere last week, it appears that The Taste is treating vegans like many other reality cooking shows–avoiding them like vegetarians avoid the vegetable soup with chicken broth.

LA Weekly discussed whether or not veganism will have a strong place in this season’s episodes.

The judges may have their reservations, but the show’s producer is hopeful.

Here are a few quotes made on the influence of the vegan chefs:

After being served a dish from one contestant:
Anthony Bourdain: “I suspect vegetarianism.”
Ludo Lefebvre: “Oh uh oh.”
Brian Malarkey: “I need meat cooked on my team.”
Nigella Lawson: “I’m confused.”
