Vegetarian Star

Country music favorite Trisha Yearwood‘s new six episode Food Network series debuted this weekend.

Southern food is traditionally known for the Paula Deen food groups of butter, cream, meat and butter, but Yearwood started experimenting in the kitchen with vegan dishes when her mother became ill and today she continues to enjoy plant-based meals with her family. She’s promised to use Trisha’s Southern Kitchen to show fans how easy it can be to make home-cooked comfort meals without animal ingredients, like this recipe for her Chickenless Pot Pie.

Home Cooking by Trisha Yearwood

Trisha Yearwood and her husband Garth Brooks may have a string of number one country hits but the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine places their cookbook anywhere but near the top when it comes to heart-healthy eating.

The group of doctors who recommend a plant-based diet has named the top worst cookbooks of 2010 which include titles by Yearwood, Gordon Ramsay, a Top Chef Collection and more.

Here’s just a little of what PCRM had to say about Yearwood’s Home Cooking, which includes a breakfast recipe for almost a dozen eggs!

“The Georgia native presents her recipes with family stories and tips, but unfortunately, the book does not take into account the state of Southerners’ health. States in the Southeast have the highest rates of obesity in the nation, but Yearwood’s recipes are loaded with fat and cholesterol. Garth’s Breakfast Bowl, for example, includes eight large eggs, a pound each of bacon and sausage, cheese tortellini, cheddar cheese, tater tots, and butter.”
