Vegetarian Star

Much talk has taken place about Heather Mills starting her own vegan food line. It was rumored she wanted the headquarters in Chicago. Then, she insisted on keeping the name of her food line top secret, until October. C’mon Heather, it’s the middle of the month. Don’t leave us hangin’!

Now at least we’re hearing more about what she wants to put in it. Like Emily Deschanel, Heather likes the idea of using Gardein as a meat substitute, and would like to partner with the company to produce entrees completely free of meat and dairy.

She may also give us everyday folk some secrets to making meals from scratch, according to a source for The Daily Mail.

We’re wondering how good of a cook Heather makes. Don’t know if she’s had any formal experience as a chef (although many celebrity chefs don’t). Would you guys buy her cookbook?

And what sorts of meals do you think she should include in her line? No one on staff has had any experience with Gardein meat. Any opinions?

Davey Havok and the rest of AFI got down on their knees to thank her backstage at a concert. Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst can’t do without his peanut butter mousse dessert. Jason Schwartzman and Emily Deschanel dig them, and Gwyneth Paltrow requested the sweet goodies for her daughter Apple’s birthday party.

So who is this woman who caters to the stars and what eats does she create that brings grown men to their knees? Danielle Konya, owner of Vegan Treats Bakery in Bethlehem, PA, has earned the devotion of many celebrity fans from vegan desserts she’s spent years crafting in her home kitchen.

With a combination of great taste, word of mouth, not too mention some articles about her business in well known publications such as Rolling Stone, the Washington Post, and The Onion, she’s been extremely successful at selling pies, cupcakes, sticky rolls, cookies, and even wedding cakes that are free of dairy.

If you want to eat vegan sweets like a star, you can view the list of restaurants in the East Coast area (New York, D.C., Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia) that serve her creations on her Myspace page.

We hope we’re not giving Nellie a hard time or a bad image. But look at it this way: She’s good proof that vegans enjoy crap food like everyone else. And if it makes some of us like everyone else, hey, we won’t look so bad to the carnivores, huh?

McKay has jokingly called herself a “junkatarian,” in the past because she loves to chow down on french fries. In this Sprig.com video, she explains that although veganism can be hard, there’s still plenty of “vegan fun,” which she names as “potato chips, beer, and spaghetti.”

Woohoo! Go Nellie! Besides, spaghetti is full of protein and good carbs. She’s not so junkatarian as she’d like to believe. Hear her say how being vegan is the “primo” title of the eight she holds, in addition to singer, songwriter, and ukulele player.

Anne Hathaway recently appeared on the David Letterman show and said she had quit smoking, gone back to her vegetarian ways, and called herself “vaguely vegan.”

A source says she is really into the organic health line Karen & Sisters and loves the “Tokyo soba noodles, dumplings and veggie turkey.”

We searched and searched and for some reason couldn’t find a Karen & Sisters homepage, but we were able to find some nutritional info on other pages. Tofu nuggets, veggie chicken, and BBQ tofu are also items in the repertoire.

With a delicious lineup like that, who needs dairy? Anne may find her vegan vagueness becoming less and less muddled.

There must be something about being a vegetarian and a star that makes you want to try weird food combinations. Or maybe it’s just being vegetarian and a music star.

First, there’s RZA and his veggie burger patty on waffles. Then there’s Chris Walla promoting his veggie sausage with peanut butter. Could it get any worse? Our latest meatless recipe comes from Jason Mraz, who turned to a raw food diet earlier in the spring of this year, which also helped his bandmate, Toca Rivera, shown on the right in the photo, eliminate his symptoms of diabetes.

“Chocomole,” is exactly what it sounds like: Guacamole-like avocado whip with chocolate flavoring. Now it could be that we are just sheltered little blogggers whose food palate is limited by beans and rice and Amy’s Tofu Pot Pies and chocolate guacamole is a happening thing in foodie culture. If chocolate guacamole is a huge part of culture in the region of [insert region we’ve offended] and we don’t know about it, apologies in advance.

Mraz has his own avocado farm with trees that are 25-30 years old and describes his kitchen as sometimes being plentiful of the species, with him washing, eating, and distributing to friends who stop by.

This “chocomole” contraption he describes as chocolate mousse.

“You will freak when you try this chocolate mousse,” Mraz said.

Freak indeed, but hopefully in a good way.

Hop over here for the recipe which includes raw cacao, avocado, and agave nector, to name a few ingredients.

“Linda McCartney sausages were my favourite. They’re much better than eating real sausages and you don’t have to contemplate half way through exactly what’s inside them… You can have them, a bit of fried bread, tinned tomatoes. Delicious.”

—–Simon Cowell, American Idol Judge, after he went on a vegetarian diet for a week. The King of Mean does have nice things to say every once in awhile. While Paula may have smiled and said it was their best performance, Randy would definitely have said, “Aw…those veggie sausages were alright, dawg!”

So Andy Hurley gave Rolling Stone the secrets to a great vegetarian protein shake. But it still might be kind of hard to steal this recipe as he’s kind of vague about the formula:

“About this much vanilla soy milk, up to here with chocolate soy milk, then a scoop of peanut butter, some liquid amino acids to complete the protein.”

Maybe hard to follow, but sure sounds like a winner!

Woody Harrelson has always been supportive of eco-friendly initiatives. He once climbed the Golden Gate bridge to protest forest destruction and drives around in a VW Beetle that runs on biodiesel.

Although he is a vegan and raw foodist, he’s not the only one into a healthy lifestyle. His wife, Laura Louie, is his former assistant and a co-founder of Yoganics, an organic food delivery service.

They live in a neighborhood with their three children where everybody does it solar style. “Everybody in the neighbourhood is on solar power,” he said in an interview. “People get the concept that it’s like a commune, but this was a neighbourhood that’s been there long before I got there, and they just never wanted power lines.”
