Vegetarian Star

Thu Tran "Food Party"

Thu Tran is the host of the Independent Film Channel’s Food Party, a cooking show filmed on a cardboard set featuring gourmet meals and puppet guests that arrive to eat them.

Different.

Interesting.

A little freaky.

Anyway, we’d totally show up to eat with the puppets if Thu was cooking corn the way she likes it.

Although admitting to Zap2it she does like meat, Thu loves taking frozen corn and adding several spices to it.

“Sometimes I snack on that cold, but I used to really like to microwave it with three pats of butter and then add cayenne pepper and garlic powder and sugar, and eat that. It’s really good.”

That sounds incredibly delicious, and even the vegans can whip out their Earth Balance and have a good time with this.

The season 2 premiere of Food Party airs tonight at 10PM on the Independent Film Channel.

Take a look at a clip from last year’s show, featuring “Yolk-Oh O No!” having egg issues.

Teany

Teany, the tea and vegan cafe created and previously owned by vegan rocker Moby, is rumored to be opening this week.

Village Voice stopped by to find cakes in the display cases and chairs scattered throughout the New York City restaurant.

Teany was damaged by an electrical fire last year.

Moby once remarked that Teany was so great because both meat eaters and vegans were just as excited about the offerings.

Did you frequent Teany and do you agree?

Jillian Michaels "The Master Your Metabolism Cookbook"

Jillian Michael‘s new cookbook, the follow up to last year’s diet and health book, Master Your Metabolism, has just been released.

The Master Your Metabolism Cookbook is filled with 125 recipes and The Biggest Loser coach’s pumpkin cranberry muffins are vegan.

The muffins are sweetened with maple syrup and use coconut and olive oils in place of butter.

Because of its higher saturated fat content, coconut oil was once thought of as the black sheep of vegetable oils.

While partially hydrogenated or processed coconut oil should be avoided, unprocessed varieties in moderate amounts are beneficial, as they’ve been shown to both treat hypothyrodism and boost the immune system.

Alan Cumming might take his leftover vegetarian lasagna with soy cheese to work on the set of the CBS drama The Good Wife, where he plays political campaign manager Eli Gold.

Whatever soy cheese he’s using, Cumming says it melts like the real thing.

“I’m a vegetarian,” Cumming told Wall Street Journal, “though I do eat eggs and cheese sometimes. But I make a good vegan lasagna with soy cheese. Soy cheese melts really well.”

Besides the examples of soy cheese we’ve given before, there’s a new kid on the block that is getting talked about a lot in vegetarian forums.

Unlike many other vegan cheeses, Daiya Cheese is soy free.

According to Look to the Stars, John Salley is the executive producer of Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days.

Simply Raw follows the lives of six Americans with diabetes as they switch from a life of junk food to a raw, vegan one and alleviate their diabetic symptoms without medication.

Several notables in the health and food industry make appearances, including Super Size Me‘s Morgan Spurlock, raw food activists Tony Robbins and Woody Harrelson and Eat to Live author Joel Fuhrman.

Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine, an organization that promotes a vegetarian diet for health and strict ethics in animal research, has written a book describing a similar program based on studies that a vegetarian diet can prevent, control and reverse the symptoms of diabetes.

The trailer for Simply Raw can be viewed below

There was a rumor going around not long ago that Glee star Chris Colfer put bacon bits in vegan co-star Lea Michele‘s salad.

Rest assured, they’re completely false.

Colfer told PR.com:

“No, I didn’t. I should have though. No, I was kidding. A tabloid actually posted an article about Lea, about how [she] eats nothing but pork and ribs and hamburgers and all that. She couldn’t have been more mortified because [she’s] a hardcore vegetarian. So I just wanted to post a Tweet at her expense. As funny as it does sound, I couldn’t. She probably would have gotten sick. But it is pretty funny to think about.”

Frontier, a manufacturer of organic spices, has a vegetarian bacon bit product available, Bac’ Uns, made from soy flour and other vegan spices.

The price is similar to what you’d pay for Frontiers other organic spices and reviews at an online vegan product store, Vegan Essentials are mostly positive.

Xavier Rudd has just released a new album, Koonyum Sun, which probably means he’ll be living off almonds for a few days on tour to promote it.

The vegetarian admits it’s hard to find food in some cities in the U.S., despite a decade of practice.

“I’ve had 10 years of it now so I’ve done my research. I know where to go,” Rudd told Sydney Alive. “But sometimes it still is hard to find things to eat. Especially in Mid-West USA. I’ve gone for days there living off almonds.”

When there are other options besides almonds, Rudd also likes to dabble in rice and dahl.

Even if you aren’t forced to consume almonds for lack of anything better, you may want to check out tamari almonds.

A soy sauced up version of the nut is coated with flavor, with the perfect combination of salt and savory.

You can buy them already made or prepare them yourself.

Bethenny Frankel demonstrates making one of her favorite foods, Brown Rice Breakfast.

Bethenny says she prefers to use soy milk in place of dairy.

“You could use skim milk. I use soy milk. I think it’s a little bit healthier. I don’t like to eat too much dairy,” Bethenny says.

Rock on Bethenny!

This must be what the pregnant Real Housewives of New York City star is eating in place of sausage links in the morning to reduce her bloating problems.

The ingredients are simple: brown rice, almonds, raisins, soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cinnamon.

Watch the clip to have Bethenny show you how to put them together.
