Vegetarian Star

Chloe Coscarelli set the example when she won the Food Network‘s cupcake baking competition, Cupcake Wars last year. Coscarelli impressed the judges with dairy-free and egg-free versions of Ginger Nutmeg Spice with Date Caramel Drizzle, Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake, Crème-filled Chocolate Orange with Candied Orange Peel and Raspberry Tiramisu.

Recently, Cupcake Wars featured a vegan-on-vegan competition, where Doron Petersan from D.C.’s Sticky Fingers Bakery and Kim Garr of L.A.’s C’est La V Bakeshop squared off.

In the end, Petersan took home the $10,000 grand prize, but when two vegan bakers are featured on such a popular national food show, is there really a loser?

We don’t think so!

Vegnews had the opportunity to chat with both owners to learn what it’s like behind the scenes with all the lights, cameras, hot ovens and muffin tins.

Bobby Flay is the host of a new reality TV cooking series that pits aspiring restaurant owners against one another in search for America’s Next Great Restaurant.

All the great chefs of today know there’s an increasing number of people who are looking to add plant-based meals into their lives, even if they’re not full time vegetarians.

Which is why we think it’s kind of silly for MSNBC to bash one contestant on the show for thinking vegetarian dining is the future of America.

Barr has said nuts are better than beef, because of their protein content, good fats and environmentally friendly production methods.

Man, is Sarah Palin a great inspiration to vegetarians. No, really.

In a post written at vegetarian.about.com, readers were invited to reveal the moment that made them go veg.
