Nigella Lawson Veg Benefits: Weightloss, Hubby Actually Eats Food

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, May 18th, 2009 in Chefs.

Nigella Lawson signing autographsBritish celebrity chef Nigella Lawson is just as known for her curves as she is for her cream pies.

But lately some have become concerned she’s been downing one pie too many and are afraid she’ll go from pleasantly plump to piggishly porky.

Lawson’s been a good sport, though, reportedly going to a personal trainer. Her fans are hoping she won’t go overboard. Or start eating like her vegetarian husband. From watoday.com.au:

“I hope she doesn’t turn into a size zero waif,” wrote a certain Mise, from Limerick, Ireland. “Nigella’s curves are what make her.” Another hoped she wouldn’t become “old and haggard” like husband Charles Saatchi, who turned vegetarian, swore off his wife’s food and lost 25 kilograms in the process.

What??!! Nigella’s man won’t eat her Anglo-Asian lamb salad, pancakes with wafer bacon and maple syrup, or Bulgar wheat salad with pink seared lamb (what’s up with all these baby animals, anyway?)?

If Nigella would go veg,  she sure would make things easier at home (honey, just take the lamb out of the Bulgar wheat), she’d shed those few unwanted pounds, plus have a better chance of living a long, healthier life with cabbage lovin’ Charles.

Not to mention a hot, one on one, cooking show she could team up with Heather Mills and do. Or maybe even a three-way. Pamela Anderson has expressed interest in a bikinis on the beach veggie TV series.

Gordon Ramsay Going Vegetarian For Great Escape To India

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, May 10th, 2009 in Chefs.

2009 White House Correspondents Association DinnerWe joked around on April Fool’s day when we announced the Hell’s Kitchen star Gordon Ramsay had went vegetarian after accidentally electrocuting himself. But this time, it’s for real, if only temporary.

Ramsay has signed up for a vegetarian tour of India and his experiences will be shown as a reality TV show, Gordon’s Great Escape, on UK Channel 4.

From Uknetguide.co.uk:

“Since coming to prominence in the TV guides, the chef has never shied away from criticising vegetarianism, with non meat-eaters having borne the brunt of his sharp tongue on more than one occasion.”

“As such, it’s hardly a surprise that producers have decided it would be a good idea to see how the committed carnivore gets on when deprived of his regular meaty fixes, with the forthcoming show ‘Gordon’s Great Escape’ set to follow Ramsay as he embarks on a vegetarian exploration of India.”

How will Gordon get along without his “meaty” fix? Will it make him even more aggressive and hostile towards vegetarians upon his return? Or will he gain an appreciation of diet, after experiencing the spices and flavors that can be combined to create a palatable, meat-free dish?

The show could only get more entertaining if vegan hating Anthony Bourdain tagged along.
