Vegetarian Star

Jessica Simpson‘s Tweets about veganism appear to be more than just a passing phase.

The actress and singer not only likes Earth Balance vegan butter and tofu, she’s gone all the way with a new vegan diet.

“Shocked my system with a vegan diet, special Pu-erh tea from China, and cupping since friday! Who am I right now? This might be too clean!”

Simpson wouldn’t be the first celebrity to try out the veggie lifestyle, for diet or health reasons. And there are more than enough Hollywood starlets who go veg, quit, and bad mouth the experience.

Crossing our fingers Jessica stays in love with an animal-free diet longer than she did with Nick Lachey.

Chloe Coscarelli won a competition on the Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars” for baking vegan desserts like Crème-filled Chocolate Orange with Candied Orange Peel. After winning the grand prize of $10,000 and the opportunity to bake vegan for a celebrity party, it’s obvious this gal can cook sweets, but did you know she can do dinner do?

Seen here is Chloe demonstrating how to make her avocado pesto pasta, proving there is life after guacamole for green fruit lovers. A box of linguine gets covered in green sauce created with avocado, basil leaves and pine nuts to yield a dish unlike any spaghetti you’ve thrown together after work.

Watch Chloe demonstrate the avocado pesto pasta and visit her blog for the recipe.

“Why not become vegetarian? That’s the question. I’ve been vegetarian for more than 20 years and it was the best decision I ever made. A couple of weeks into it, I felt better. My head felt clearer.

—Patrick McDonnell, creator of the comic strip Mutts, which details the daily life of a house cat named Mooch and a dog named Earl. McDonnell has an interview in the July/August 2010 issue of Vegetarian Times, available at your nearest Whole Foods stand now.

Self Magazine July 2010

Self Magazine searched for the healthiest packaged foods. Packaged is normally associated with health “no-nos” like partially hydrogenated oils, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup and a load of preservatives. But Self was able to find several items that escaped these horrors, and many on the list are vegetarian.

The Boca Savory Mushroom Mozzarella veggie burger came in first place for best veggie burger and it can easily be paired with the also featured Kettle Baked Slow Cooked Chips.

Bryant Terry

Food justice champion and eco-chef Bryant Terry doesn’t use any animal products in his recipes, but the author of Vegan Soul Kitchen would prefer to keep the “V” word out of conversation.

He told Oregon Live why:

“One of the things people associate with vegan cuisine are all those processed “meat” products, like textured vegetable proteins, which I avoid entirely. I just like cooking with real food. I want people to really understand that when they’re eating plant-based, real foods it’s flavorful, delicious and healthy. That’s why I originally didn’t want my book labeled “vegan.” It’s a good way to encapsulate what I’m doing, but it’s also limiting because it’s bigger than veganism. It’s about this rich history and tradition of African Americans, and people in the South eating good, local, seasonal food. I think people need to understand that since the perceptions of African American and Southern cooking are so negative.”
