Update: A reader named Leslie was able to locate the recipe. Click on link here or see comment on post. Thanks Leslie!

Nigella Lawson gave an interview with NPR to discuss all things involving love and food.

Lawson makes two suggestions for V-day dinner, one of which is vegetarian.

Interestingly enough, this dinner can be viewed as a labor of love for your sweetie, or forced labor on him/her if you make them help you chop the tomatoes, the task she considers to be the hardest.

“This would also be a lovely recipe to do if you don’t want to serve up something as if you were working in the restaurant, but wanted to have your partner with you and chatting. He or she could be chopping some tomatoes as well,” Lawson said.

Guy Fieri

Guy Fieri grew up in a vegetarian, macrobiotic home that drove him nuts.

He told People his parents cooked, “vegetarian, nondairy, whole grains, no red meat. I started cooking when I was 10 because I just couldn’t eat that stuff.”

Luckily, he’s not so turned off by vegetarian food he can still whip up something meatless and delicious. At least for his own family.

Guy said the Morgan’s Vegetarian Patty Sliders are, “named after my sister Morgan, who is a vegetarian. I created them for her.”

Tal Ronnen, vegan chef and author of “The Conscious Cook,” who’s just signed up to expose Vegas fans to the vegan cuisine, as he’ll be creating dishes for the Wynn Las Vegas hotel menu.

Wynn Las Vegas

The already vegan-friendly Wynn Las Vegas will be getting a veggie face-lift, as Steve Wynn has invited vegan chef Tal Ronnen to join the hotel’s culinary team.

After going vegan, the casino mogul put several vegan items on the menus at each of his restaurants. He also distributed a DVD copy of the film that inspired him to do so, Eating, to all of his employees. In addition, Wynn’s will was modified to include the Humane Society as a beneficiary.

“It’s an honor and pleasure to work with Steve Wynn, who recently became vegan, and his incredible team of chefs,” Ronnen said, according to VegNews.

Two former executives from McDonald’s have joined forces with celebrity chefs Art Smith and Tal Ronnen to create a menu for a new chain of healthy restaurants that will be very vegan-friendly, Lyfe Kitchen. The first Lyfe restaurant will open in Palo Alto, California this summer and the two hope to expand to 250 restaurants serving made to order cuisine like Panera Bread or Chipotle.

Faster food is the only vestige former McDonald’s President and Chief Operating Officer Mike Roberts and former communications boss Mike Donahue are bringing from their old establishment. Besides vegetarian and vegan options, there will be no fried food and every menu item will contain less than 600 calories.

No McHigh Fructose Corn Syrup, McButter or McCream is allowed either.

Gino D' Acampo

Chef Gino D’ Acampo promised ITV’s “This Morning” that if they won an award, he’d cook naked on television.

Some promises are okay if broken. Really.

But D’Acampo kept his, and made gammon in the buff, the NSFW video below also revealing his special “sock” he took off, along with his apron, to really stay true to his word.

A naked Gino isn’t so bad, but he might have been hotter whipping up a plant-based Italian meal instead. We know factory farming is unhealthy for the environment, animals and people, and a film titled Pig Business examining the state of the pork industry in the UK illustrates this.

Jamie Oliver

The Los Angeles school systems aren’t letting Jamie Oliver into their kitchens like he was able to do during his last filming of Jamie Oliver’s Revolution, a show where he tried to improve the eating habits of people in a small West Virginia town.

But that isn’t stopping him from using educational props to make a production about the quality of beverages available to students.
