“You can find this just about anywhere,” Ellen said. “And it tastes just like beef.”

Alicia Silverstone, Ellen DeGeneres Make Whole Foods Popular

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, January 10th, 2010 in Food & Drink.

Alicia Silverstone The Kind Diet Book Launch Party

There are numerous reasons why people are including more unprocessed foods in their diets, including the fact these foods are a cheaper, healthier and more gentle on the environment and animals.

But could Alicia Silverstone‘s cookbook The Kind Diet, Ellen Degeneres offering her recipe for vegan tacos and Alanis Morissette talking about kale have an effect on how the grocery budget is spent in the next few years?

Says a statement from prweb:

“Celebrities and sports figures are defining the trend. Well-known stars and musicians, including Ellen DeGeneres, Alicia Silverstone, Alanis Morissette, and Moby share their plant-based dietary choices. Athletes on a whole foods diet have a performance edge without steroids. A sampling of athletes sticking to a diet based on whole foods includes Brendan Brazier, ultra marathon champion, Ruth Heidrich, triathlete with over 900 wins, Pat Neshek, Minnesota Twins pitcher, and Salim Stoudamire, Atlanta Hawk’s shooting guard.”

Has a famous veggie influenced the way you cook at home?

Or is learning the Prince Fielder bats like a vegan news to you?

Ellen DeGeneres Tim Gunn–Who Would You

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 30th, 2009 in Fashion, Polls/Surveys, TV Hosts, Who Would You.

Ellen DeGeneres was named Woman of the Year by PETA for her contributions to promoting vegetarianism and animal welfare.

And who was voted as her male counterpart for the title?

None other than fur hating fashion guru Tim Gunn.

Both Ellen and Tim let their cruelty-free fashion sense do the accessorizing.

Fur is banned from Project Runway and Ellen’s given away vegan handbags to her audience.

You’d love to have both a faux fur coat and a leather-free bag, but if you had to choose between Tim or Ellen, who would you rather do…

Ellen DeGeneres PETA Woman Of The Year

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 30th, 2009 in TV Hosts.

23rd Annual Genesis Awards - Press Room

2009 must be the year for vegan Ellen DeGeneres because she’s already nabbed 2 Best of Veggie Awards and it’s not even New Year’s Eve yet.

Her recent commitment to veganism pushed her into the Top 10 Veg Stories of the Decade by VegNews.

Now, Ellen has been named Woman of the Year by PETA.

“She made vegan pizza with Chef Wolfgang Puck, spoke with Dr. Neal Barnard about the health benefits of a vegan diet, and just in time for Thanksgiving, “talked turkey” about the everyday abuse of animals on factory farms with Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Eating Animals. Ellen also created pages on her Web site that feature insight, info, and tips about cruelty-free living. Visitors can find recipes, read about why Ellen went vegan, learn where to shop, and more.”

Let’s not forgot she shared her personal chef, Roberto Martin, on national television as he taught her fans to cook vegan pot pie and roast, hosted fellow veg Pamela Anderson to discuss the launch of her eco friendly perfume and received an award from the Humane Society of the United States.

What’s on Ellen’s goals for 2010 and the next decade?

Hopefully, getting Simon Cowell and the other American Idol judges to eat vegan tacos every week.

Ellen DeGeneres Portia de Rossi Chef Roberto Martin

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Videos.

Ever wonder what the story is behind the man who makes Ellen DeGeneres‘ vegan tacos, roast and pot pie?

Roberto Martin is the kind of man every woman wants–because he knows how to cook a good veg meal!

Martin, the youngest of 15 children, originally wanted to dice the Obamas and Gores of the world instead of onions.

He studied political science at Cal State Fullerton.

He later studied at the Culinary Institute of America and found himself cooking for celebrities shortly thereafter.

Cooking for a family with a diabetic child was Martin’s motivation to switch to plant based cooking.

“Now that I cook exclusively vegan meals for Ellen and Portia, I’ve learned that the variety of experiences in my life has helped me along the way,” Martin says on Ellen’s website. “I know what it’s like to change your habits, to remove animal protein from your diet, and I plan on sharing my experience with you. Even if you start with just one meal a week, you can learn to cook healthy and delicious vegan meals without having to make a big change.”

In case you’ve forgotten how good Martin does his thing, watch the clip showing him demonstrating a vegan pot pie.
