Michael Natkin is a vegetarian food blogger at Herbivoracious who stops by the highly trafficked SeriousEats.com website to share a meatless recipe for the Serious Meatless section.

Tahina goes great as a veggie dip, sandwich spread or drizzled over falafel, but don’t confuse it with hummus, as Natkin says many people do. Hummus is created from chickpeas while tahina is crafted from sesame seeds.

Hannah Kaminsky is a vegan chef genius, having already published a dessert cookbook and several ebooks while maintaining a popular vegan blog, Bittersweetblog.

Kaminsky is still in college, and plans to continue her career as a chef and recipe developer, which includes taking her own pictures for her books and blog.

Kaminsky has an interview with Vegetarian Times where she gives some advice for fellow food photographers on how to best capture the essence of the egg substitute.

1. Keep it clean. A few errant crumbs can be nice, since you don’t want the scene unrealistically immaculate, but you don’t want splatters and splashes all over the place. Wipe the rim of plates and bowls with a towel, and make sure silverware glistens. And don’t clutter up the set with tons of odds and ends.

Heather Mills has temporarily closed her vegan cafe in Hove, East Sussex, V Bites, with sources saying the staff has been placed on winter break and will return to operations in the spring.

According to the Daily Mail, a sign on the door of the restaurant reads, “VBites is ­having its end-of-summer ­holiday from Saturday, ­September 11. We’ve been working hard and it’s been our pleasure to serve you over the summer. We’d like to thank all our ­customers and friends and look forward to seeing you again soon when we re-open.”

Does this mean Heather’s business isn’t doing as well as she predicted?

It depends on who you speak with.

Bob Harper has teamed up with Quaker Oats to give three people an opportunity for some one on one advice from him as well as a pantry stocked full of breakfast food.

From now until October 8, people may visit www.Facebook.com/Quaker or Quakeroats.com to enter the Quaker Amazing Mornings Contest. Three winners will receive a visit from Harper who will counsel on their exercise activities, a two month’s supply of Quaker oatmeal products, plus four weekly visits from a registered dietitian.

“It’s time for Americans to re-prioritize their mornings – and eating a healthy breakfast should be a top priority for both children and adults,” said Harper. “We all know breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day, which is why I’m so excited to work with Quaker to help more Americans jumpstart their morning routines.”

KT Tunstall is the latest celebrity to comment on the Lady-Gaga-Meat-Dress-Saga. Yes, amazingly enough, that is still considered news.

Tunstall says that while she understands why vegetarians and vegans are so upset, Gaga’s dress worn for the cover of Vogue Japan isn’t much different from people wearing leather.

“As soon as I saw it, I thought, what is the difference between that and leather? Animals die needlessly for leather all the time.”

“I haven’t heard a legitimate reason why anyone would be offended by her wearing meat, except for vegans angry about animals being killed, which is fair enough.”

Tunstall, a pescatarian, recently took her own hit of controversy with vegetarians when she ate black pudding, a dish made of congealed pig’s blood.

A little steak on the hips. Pig’s blood to the lips. Can we all agree to aim to stop using animals for human purposes period and call it a day?
