Vegetarian Star

The lone and lovely female judge of America’s Next Great Restaurant, Lorena Garcia, is making vegetarians who fly from the Miami International Airport a little happier and less hungrier.

Garcia, a former lawyer now turned celebrity chef, opened a restaurant in the Concourse D area of the airport that serves a variety of vegetarian-friendly options, including a veggie burger that’s doing great.

Garcia spoke to NBC Miami about her new venture, Cocina, which features mouth watering dishes like the Roasted Portabello, a sliced portobello with caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and pesto sauce on ciabatta bread.

Ellen DeGeneres recently featured authors Kathy Freston and Tal Ronnen on her show for a vegan segment.

Freston helps one family make the gradual transition of adding more vegan meals into its diet to combat some health problems like high cholesterol.

This is a family that professes to eat meat every day and they’re completely open to the idea with one caveat: dad hopes his beer doesn’t get taken away.

The tragedy of good vegetarian girl gone bad came to its lowest point when Lakshmi did a food porn commercial for Hardee’s Thickburger.

“I think it’s a cliche that you are just stuck with it. I use tofu when it’s appropriate or in its traditional use form–in little pieces. In India, it’s lentils; South America, it’s quinoa; and in Asia, it’s soy. There are really great ways of getting protein and how the rest of the world gets protein.”

–vegan chef and author of The Conscious Cook Tal Ronnen, on the stereotype that everything vegetarian is made from tofu.  The next time someone sings to you, How Do You Get Your Protein?, answer them with this list of vegan sources.

Martha Stewart has never shied away from vegetarian and vegan cooking in her kitchen. Because she raised a daughter who became vegetarian as a teen, she never had the choice.

But Alexis is an adult now, and Martha’s still giving veg some genuine attention. She recently requested vegans to sit in the audience for an upcoming show about veganism. And she’s included at least one vegan recipe in her new cookbook, Martha Stewart’s Pies & Tarts.

Despite being “kicked out of school,” Jamie Oliver has successfully completed filming season 2 of his Food Revolution show. After the Los Angeles Unified School District refused to let him into any of their cafeterias, Oliver, being the feather ruffling genius that he is, continued his mission of revamping diets of some of the poorest families in the city with his mobile food truck and other antics.

Will it work? It probably won’t be easy.

As one woman in the preview mentions, “It is easier to get a gun, crack, or a prostitute in a lot of areas in Los Angeles before you can get a tomato.”

“Relationships are complex things and to hinge them on just one aspect doesn’t make them any easier. In this world there are perfectly wonderful people who eat meat and then there are some unpleasant people who are vegan. What is most important if you’re a vegan dating an omnivore is that this person is respectful of your lifestyle choices. And if they’re millionaires and gorgeous, more power to you.”

—Terry Hope Romero, vegan Latin food queen and author of several vegan cookbooks, including Viva Vegan!, Vegan Cupcakes Invade Your Cookie Jar and Veganomicon.

No, not not every vegan is opposed to loving a meat eater. Some even recommend it, as there’s opportunity to share the food in your world with someone who normally wouldn’t be exposed to it.

Still not comfortable making the pizza half veggie and half meat with your lover? There are numerous vegetarian and vegan dating sites online.
