Vegetarian Star

Fran Drescher said she wanted to throw a few vegan-friendly episodes in her new daytime talk show, The Fran Drescher Tawk Show.

A woman who sticks to her word is worth watching!

Drescher recently hosted Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan baker who won last year’s Cupcake Wars on the Food Network.

Drescher said months ago that although she’s not a vegan, she’s “vegan-curious.” Her curiosity and taste buds were satisfied as Coscarelli explained how vegans strive to exclude all animal products, including byproducts from their diets and even ensure their clothing is free from animal products.

Fran revealed she has a cousin who’s a hardcore vegan just like Coscarelli.

During the cake demonstration, Coscarelli suggested adding vinegar to a cake mix keeps it moist, essentially replacing the egg. And since there’re no raw eggs in the batter, feel free to lick to spoon, something Coscarelli said is one of the “best things about vegan baking.”

“Ellen and Portia’s cake-Portia came in with her mom, who was visiting from Australia and showed me the ring that Ellen had had made for her which was a beautiful, but simple vine design in diamonds,” Lockhart said. “We took that simplicity and elegance and continued that vine design on the cake. It was their favorite vegan red velvet.”

During an interview with Access Hollywood, Lockhart gave some secrets to the substitutes for baking vegan and the challenges she faced with Ellen and Portia’s cake.

Could an online cooking show be the next step in guitar guru Orianthi‘s next career?

The musician who is supporting John Mayer on his Australian tour told 9 News she could incorporate unplugged tunes with vegan cookies.

“I was sort of thinking about doing some mini cooking things on YouTube – like a musical cooking thing,” Orianthi said.

“I’d cook and then as I’m waiting for it to bake in the oven I’d play a few songs and then I’ll go back and check on it.”

“(If it’s) not quite ready yet, I’d play another song.”

Music and good food usually keeps a crowd together longer, so marketing wise, she’s not too far off from a great idea.

She’ll need to have the 1-800 number frequently displayed throughout the segment, so viewers can order the already made varieties.

“I bring cookies and vegan cupcakes to rehearsals … I should probably sell my cookies at the merch (merchandise) booth.”
