Vegetarian Star

A report has been released by researchers who follow celebrities, though not necessarily because they admire them.

Scientists at York University examined recipes from several chefs from 2007 to 2012 and found Nigella Lawson, as well as popular chefs like Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, using less than sustainable species in their dishes.

Nigella Lawson was a recent guest on NPR’s Morning Edition.

The program has launched “Cook Your Cupboard,” a segment that explores what to do with the random items in your refrigerator you bought eons ago and need to find a use for.

Lawson took one listener’s collection of items and suggested several vegetarian dishes of chili, almond milk pancakes and cauliflower soup with almond milk.

After it’s premiere last week, it appears that The Taste is treating vegans like many other reality cooking shows–avoiding them like vegetarians avoid the vegetable soup with chicken broth.

LA Weekly discussed whether or not veganism will have a strong place in this season’s episodes.

The judges may have their reservations, but the show’s producer is hopeful.

Here are a few quotes made on the influence of the vegan chefs:

After being served a dish from one contestant:
Anthony Bourdain: “I suspect vegetarianism.”
Ludo Lefebvre: “Oh uh oh.”
Brian Malarkey: “I need meat cooked on my team.”
Nigella Lawson: “I’m confused.”

ABC’s The Taste has the pleasure of showcasing not one but two vegan chefs this season.

Nigella Lawson has a vegetarian pasta dish from her cookbook, Nigella Kitchen, that you may want to break out your 80s collection CDs to prepare it to.

Marmite, also known as Vegimite, isn’t just popular among Men at Work. It’s been a popular meatless alternative since the late 19th and early 20th century.

Mary McCartney has published a vegetarian cookbook filled with recipes inspired by her mother’s cooking and tales of food memories she formed in the famous McCartney household.

“Growing up in a vegetarian family and having Mum at the helm in the kitchen, encouraging us all to muck in, was the best education I could have asked for,” writes Mary at Food and Drink. “Over the years I have continued to cook as my mum did, experimenting with ingredients, flavours and textures.”

One of the recipes in Food is for a hummus sandwich with chilli jam.

Nigella Lawson gave an interview with NPR to discuss all things involving love and food.

Lawson makes two suggestions for V-day dinner, one of which is vegetarian.

Interestingly enough, this dinner can be viewed as a labor of love for your sweetie, or forced labor on him/her if you make them help you chop the tomatoes, the task she considers to be the hardest.

“This would also be a lovely recipe to do if you don’t want to serve up something as if you were working in the restaurant, but wanted to have your partner with you and chatting. He or she could be chopping some tomatoes as well,” Lawson said.

British 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.
