Vegetarian Star

Mezzetta brand of specialty foods is holding a contest to create the best sandwich using Mezzetta’s signature peppers, olives and other products. Interested sandwich masters can enter their recipe online, making sure to indicate which Mezzetta product is used in it, for a grand prize of $25,000.

Several celebrity chefs are entering their sandwiches too, which you may vote on, to raise money for their favorite charities. There are several deliciously sounding vegetarian options included. For example, you may remember Lisa Adams, who created the vegetarian meal to honor Lisa Simpson on Top Chef Masters. She’s concocted a sesame eggplant in pita with peppers, walnuts and feta.

"Top Chef Masters" Jody Adams

Top Chef Masters Lisa Adams wasn’t just competing when she made a vegetarian dish to honor The Simpsons’ Lisa Simpson during a recent challenge on the show.

This chef would actually eat what she made–and encourages others to do the same.

“I had just a small glance of Lisa’s personality and I knew she was a vegetarian,” Adams told Reality Wanted. “I loved cooking a dish that I would love to cook for myself. A mentor chef of mine once said to “cook for yourself first, then cook for your customer and lastly, cook for the press.” That is the key to authentic cooking.”

Adams and her husband are collecting vegetable based recipes for a cookbook or a website with a focus more on plant based diets.

“It is better for the planet, for the animals, and for our health,” she said.

In addition, she’s planning a trip to Washington, D.C. to talk to the Environmental Protection Agency about food.

“The word is getting out to the public that we need to eat differently, and communities are seeing the issues they face with eating,” Adams said, adding that vegetables need to be made “sexy” again.
