“I think it’s a cliche that you are just stuck with it. I use tofu when it’s appropriate or in its traditional use form–in little pieces. In India, it’s lentils; South America, it’s quinoa; and in Asia, it’s soy. There are really great ways of getting protein and how the rest of the world gets protein.”

–vegan chef and author of The Conscious Cook Tal Ronnen, on the stereotype that everything vegetarian is made from tofu.  The next time someone sings to you, How Do You Get Your Protein?, answer them with this list of vegan sources.

"The Conscious Cook" Tal Ronnen

The 25th annual Genesis Awards is the Humane Society’s way of rewarding celebrities or other well-known people for their contributions to animal welfare.

Besides trophies, a great way to reward these stars is with great vegan food!

Tal Ronnen, vegan chef and author of The Conscious Cook, is in charge of preparing the menu for the event that takes place on March 19 in Los Angeles and Ok! Magazine received the word on what the stars will be munching on, including the vegan desserts.

Tal Ronnen was born to a New Yorker mother and an Australian father, so he had plenty of exposure to diverse, good food growing up. In fact, he says he keeps a jar of Vegemite in his pantry to make those sandwiches both he and his father love.

Describing his childhood experiences with food as one which had him holding chopsticks in his hand as a toddler, Ronnen recently gave the Broward Palm Beach New Times a glimpse into his vegan passion that led him to write “The Conscious Cook” and contribute to the development of Gardein faux meats.

“I love beets, and I look forward to using both red and golden varieties every winter. Once the beets are cooked, I like to slice them paper-thin with a mandoline and stuff them [like a pocket] with cashew cheese. Or I roll them up with a tofu ricotta, which I batter for vegan tempura. Diced beets also make a nice addition to a composed salad.”

—The Conscious Cook author and celebrity chef Tal Ronnen, from the February 2010 issue of Vegetarian Times.

Do you share Ronnen’s passion for the purple vegetable?
