Vegetarian Star

The Tom’s of Maine Wicked Fresh! Live Chat series went a little different than expected. While we were hoping “Top Chef All Stars” Carla Hall would do some cooking, she actually spent the hour answering questions from Facebook on food.

Which is still great, because Carla answered a question from Vegetarian Star about her favorite vegetarian or vegan dish and gave our site some love in the process!

Carla said right now she is really into root vegetables, so she loves to take rutabagas, turnips, carrots and parsnips and roast them in garlic and olive oil, throwing in some onions and simmering it all in vegetable broth. Then, toss in some tofu cubes. She also loves butternut squash soup and gave some great advice for a non-dairy substitute for cream.

It’s been a great season for herbivores on Top Chef.

Zooey Deschanel made a guest appearance that challenged the judges to not only cook meat free, but also without gluten and soy.

Then came along Natalie Portman, who dropped the V word on the cheftestants and ended up with a mouthful of shallots and garlic.

Last night’s episode featured the chefs making two dishes-one vegetarian and one featuring a local protein (which could have also been vegetarian…hmpf!) for a party of 150 people.

In the end, Jen put way more salt on her veggie dish than the judges preferred and she was sent packing while the brothers Voltaggio and Gillespie remain standing.

Watch the clip above to hear Jen’s thoughts on her exit.
