Celebrity Chef Cat Cora, unlike Gordon Ramsay, doesn’t feel vegetarians are a pain at all.

In fact, sometimes The Food Network Iron Chef star and her family even, gasp, joins them!

From afterellen.com:

My wife is a vegetarian, so I have to ask: Do you find it annoying to cook for vegetarians or do you approach it as an invigorating challenge?
CC: I find it a fun challenge. In the Cora family, there are nights when we go all veggie, it is cleansing. So, I appreciate where vegetarians are coming from.

Cat’s no stranger to vegetarian cooking.

If you remember, Cat joined forces with Morningstar Farms to teach families to prepare delicious, quick, and healthier meals into the diets.

She said of the partnership:

“Morningstar Farms and I have come up with some easy ways to make eating well more manageable for the home cook. I want families to understand that good food doesn’t require hours in the kitchen.”

Cat also catered the vegan dinner served during Nigel Barker‘s screening of A Sealed Fate.

So cool that Cat practices what she preaches!

Brigitte Bardot Wants Obama’s Seal Of Approval

Bridgitte Bardot Travels to Romania to Save Street Dogs

Brigitte Bardot, longtime vegetarian and animal activist and actress, is asking for U.S. President Barack Obama’s help in preventing the death of seals every season during Canada’s annual seal hunt.

Bardot said she has “immense hope” in Obama, “even if I know that he is in demand from all directions and he already has a lot to do in his own country.”

The timing of her letter writing coincided with Obama’s recent visit to Canada.

Several other celebrities have spoken in opposition to the hunt, such as Canadian natives Pamela Anderson and Bryan Adams, and most recently Nigel Barker documenting the lives of the animals before they are clubbed, in his film, A Sealed Fate.

Last year, the quota for clubbed seals was 275,000. After being killed, the seals are skinned for their pelts, which are later sold. 

The United States has banned all Canadian seal products since 1972 and the European Union is considering a similar ban.
