Mary McCartney has published a vegetarian cookbook filled with recipes inspired by her mother’s cooking and tales of food memories she formed in the famous McCartney household.

“Growing up in a vegetarian family and having Mum at the helm in the kitchen, encouraging us all to muck in, was the best education I could have asked for,” writes Mary at Food and Drink. “Over the years I have continued to cook as my mum did, experimenting with ingredients, flavours and textures.”

One of the recipes in Food is for a hummus sandwich with chilli jam.

Vegan chef Bryant Terry is out to entice those looking to make diet changes that are better for human, planet and animal health with his newly released cookbook, The Inspired Vegan.

Terry is best known for his genius of transforming traditional southern African-American cuisine rich with meat, butter and cream into dishes that lack the animal products but not the taste.

The Inspired Vegan continues that tradition, but also explores plant-based Asian entrees, such as the “Two-Rice Congee with Steamed Spinach and Other Accompaniments.”

Country music favorite Trisha Yearwood‘s new six episode Food Network series debuted this weekend.

She’s promised to use Trisha’s Southern Kitchen to show fans how easy it can be to make home-cooked comfort meals without animal ingredients, like this recipe for her Chickenless Pot Pie.

It’s also a source of protein, calcium and fiber.

This is one of several chia pudding recipes from his latest book, Thrive Foods: 200 Plant Based Recipes for Peak Health and Brendan Brazier says they are a favorite.

Of all the things Paula Deen is known for, vegetarian cooking is definitely not one of them.

But the Queen of cholesterol has managed to put together a refreshing pasta salad that doesn’t contain ham chunks and isn’t tossed with lard dressing.

Deen tosses in a plethora of vegetables in this bow-tie pasta salad–a trio of different peppers, onions and artichoke hearts.
