Vegetarian Star

Michelle Obama‘s gardening adventures in the White House backyard started a trend of local eating, sustainable practices and a return to the basics of cooking among ladies worldwide.

Will Tobey Maguire be the one to lead the men to get their fingers dirty?

The vegetarian actor is helping launch The Teaching Garden, a initiative that, according to iVillage, will, “promote ecologically sound food and lifestyle choices.”

The organization was founded by Tobey’s wife’s stepmother and inspired by the First Lady’s move to reduce obesity in children.

Maguire, along with pro volleyball player Gabrielle Reece, L.A. Laker Derek Fisher and Iron Chef America’s Cat Cora will cook with elementary school children in California and plant a vegetable garden at a kickoff event next week.

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!

The vegan dinner provided at the screening of Nigel Barker’s A Sealed Fate was catered by none other than Iron Chef Cat Cora, according to HollyScoop.

Months ago, Cat teamed up with Morningstar Farms, a vegetarian Frozen food brand, to teach her fans how to incorporate healthier, quick meals into their diets.

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

Looks like Cat can do more with vegetarian than just toss a soy sausage into the oven to bake. We’re sure the big vegan dinner took more than 15 minutes to create.

Knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Just when we are feeling love for the celebrity chefs, such as Rachael Ray and Cat Cora, one had to come along and ruin the warm and fuzzy feelings. Thanks Paula Deen.

The queen of southern cuisine went to Washington, D.C. and with the help of Smithfield Foods, donated 25,000 Lbs. of ham to the Capitol Area Food Bank. 25,000 Lbs. of meat! Yuuuuuuuuuck!

Deen said that when people think of her, they think of food. “So it’s only appropriate that when I come visiting, I bring food,” she said. “That’s what southerners do.”

Not to sound like stalkers or anything, but we look at what regions our fans are coming from (through stat counter and IP addresses) and we know we have plenty of southern folk out there who read our site. It is time for y’all to speak!

Don’t southerners like veg food too? Yes, we know fried chicken is thought to be the national bird for some folks who cook southern, but she could have at least thrown some brown rice, whole grain cereal, and whole wheat pasta in there.

This is a stark contrast to our darling Heather Mills’ donation of over a million dollars of soy meat to a food bank in the Bronx. And it brings up a good point that we’ve touched on before: Can those in poverty access healthy veg food like everyone else? If you can’t get healthy, meatless items at the food bank, what’s a financially struggling person to do?

Cat Cora Cooks…give us 3-4 more words for this sentence, then say it fast. This Celebrity Chef is doing goodness that will offset Gordon Ramsay’s bad vegetarian karma.

One of Food Network’s most popular Celebrity Chefs and known for her role as an Iron Chef on “Iron Chef America” and her cookbook Cat Cora’s Kitchen, Cat Cora is teaming up with Morningstar Farms to show America how healthy cooking meatless can be.

“As a working mom, I understand how hard it can be to put a healthy homemade meal on the table,” she said.  “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.”

On September 10th, at 7:30PM, you can have the chance to chat live with Cat about veggies, soy patties, and more. For more information on this awesome Celebrity Chef, visit her website.
