Vegetarian Star

Yotam Ottolenghi gave vegetarians and vegans “plenty” of reasons to dislike him when he decided to redefine vegetarian, saying it was okay to eat fish and there were “no hard core boundaries anymore.”

His latest cookbook, Plenty, doesn’t appear to be competing with Webster’s by changing the definition of vegetarian, and is filled with 120 recipes organized by vegetable.

For four years, Yotam Ottolenghi wrote a strict vegetarian column in The Guardian called “The New Vegetarian.”

He also gave contestants on BBC’s Masterchef cooking show lessons in preparing vegetarian food. Now, Yotam may have redefined what vegetarian eating is.

Vegans and strict vegetarians may not be happy with what they’re about to read.

The contestants on BBC’s television cooking show Masterchef got a lesson in meatless cooking when famed chef Yotam Ottolenghi stepped into the kitchens on the set during an episode where all meat products were banned.

Ottolenghi studied Philosophy before going on to learn cooking at London’s Cordon Bleu, then became a pastry chef for several London restaurants. For four years his weekly food column in The Guardian‘s weekend Saturday magazine was called “The New Vegetarian.”

During a previous episode of the New Zealand version of Masterchef, the show’s lone vegetarian chef was sent packing. So having an all-vegetarian challenge on the UK series was the perfect revenge for perhaps what may have be a veg-unfriendly environment on Masterchef.

Was it a good Meatless Monday? Or Meatless Madness?
