Vegetarian Star

Alicia Silverstone recently showed Oprah Winfrey‘s audience what she might pick up during a trip to the grocery store.

As expected, Alicia included plenty of vegan substitutes for dairy products like Earth Balance Vegan butter, Follow Your Heart Soy Cheese and Vegenaise.

For meat substitutes, Alicia chose Gardein Chick’n Scallopini, Field Roast Sausages and Tempeh Bacon.

Alicia’s got a healthy appetite for vegan sweets as well…yum!

Visit Oprah’s website to view Alicia’s entire shopping list.

Alicia Silverstone visited the ladies of The View and brought some of her vegan chocolate peanut butter cups from her cookbook, The Kind Diet.

While Alicia was sharing her memories of her late Clueless co-star Britney Murphy, Sherri Shepherd sank her teeth into one.

“Is this vegetarian?” Shepherd asked?

Well, duh Sherri.

You’re talking to the greatest vegan celebrity cookbook author ever!

Oprah Winfrey‘s show on Wednesday January 27 will feature Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual.

Oprah aims to let her audience know where their food comes from.

During the segment, Oprah asks Pollan, “What do you eat?”

Although it’s already known Pollan’s not a full time vegetarian, he does advocate eating less meat.

Watch the clip for a preview of the show and be sure to catch Alicia Silverstone‘s appearance towards the end of the video.

She’s mentioned before she wants to see Oprah naked, but chatting with her via satellite is almost as good.

Alicia Silverstone will have a segment on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday January 27.

Silverstone has briefly blogged on her website, TheKindLife, what you should expect.

“I was so excited and overwhelmed, it was such a blur! I think she asked me about poop… Needless to say, we laughed a lot!”

Silverstone says she’ll be demonstrating several recipes from her cookbook, The Kind Diet–the Cheesy, Oozy Guacamole Bean Dip, Artichoke, Mushroom, and Leek Crostini with Pesto, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.

If you haven’t bought The Kind Diet, watching this segment will have you running, biking or driving your hybrid to the bookstore in 24 hours!

What motivates you to stay veg?

Pure dislike of meat? Animal welfare? The Environment?

Alicia Silverstone gives plenty of reasons for staying the vegan course.

“I have three dogs. One day I realized if I wouldn’t eat my dogs, why eat any animals, any meat? Why’s a baby cow different from a dog? They have the same joys, same pain.”

Of course, there were great benefits for her health and beauty, too.

“At the time I was using an asthma inhaler, suffering with acne, getting allergy shots, on antibiotics.”

For those that choose the vegan path or with intolerance/sensitivity to dairy products, Alicia Silverstone recommends a cow-free butter on her Kind Life website to substitute on baked potatoes, cookies and more.

“Whenever I find a recipe that calls for a butter substitute, I always use Earth Balance! I’ve experimented with a lot of brands, and this one is my hands-down favorite! You can get it in tubs or sticks… just like real butter. It’s so versatile and you can get it at most supermarkets and health food stores.”

The guys (and gals) at Earth Balance really know their butters.

Besides tubs, Earth Balance vegan butters come in sticks as well and feature several blended varieties such as those with or without soy and olive oil.

Peanut and almond butters are also available.

Skinny Bitch In the Kitch

The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine has named Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin‘s Skinny Bitch In The Kitch one of five best cookbooks of the decade.

From a press release:

“Skinny Bitch in the Kitch provides healthy vegan recipes that actually taste good, from Bitchtastic Brownies to dairy-less Fettuccini Alfredo.”

It’s those Bitchtastic Brownies that made Bitch in the Kitch a New York Times Bestseller.

As expected Alicia Silverstone‘s The Kind Diet made the cut, as well as The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen, The Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn and Cooking the Whole Foods Way by Christina Pirello.
