Vegetarian Star

Awhile back, we told you about the human breast milk cheese created by a New York University graduate student.

Mirium Simun conducted taste tests of the different flavors of cheese sourced from milk of several women in the New York and Wisconsin area and results were overwhelmingly positive.

Now, the cheese has been packaged and is ready for distribution and we’d like to spread the word on getting this cruelty-free cheese into the fridges of everyone by offering not one, not two, but 5 FREE PACKAGES of one breast milk cheese that most vegans consider vegan-friendly.

Parvesh Cheena plays Gupta, an employee everybody loves to avoid on NBC’s “Outsourced,” a sitcom about an Indian call center located in Mumbai for an American-based catalog ordering company.

Cheena is a pescatarian who will add more “almond milk, brown rice and stir fry” to his diet when trying to eat healthier. He’s also got a weakness for cauliflower. However, he admits he is a cheese-aholic and it’s the only thing standing between him and veganism. Or maybe one of those weird vegans who eat fish occasionally.

“My big downfall is deep-dish pizza from Chicago,” Cheena told CNN’s Eatocracy. “That is why I can’t go vegan – I can’t give up cheese. I can’t give up dairy.”

Oh, say it isn’t so!

Alicia Silverstone, vegan queen, cookbook author, blogger and activist, has admitted to occasionally cheating on her vegan diet by having cheese here and there.

At an EcoTools party, she told US Magazine, “If I was at a party and there was a tray of cheese sitting there and I had had drinks, then I might have a bite.”

“It’s human. It’s a really good reminder that sometimes you need to have what you remember is this good thing. Because then you have it, and you’re like, ‘Actually that wasn’t better than the recipes in my book.”

Giant Quinoa Tamale

Today’s Meatless Monday recipe is from Mark Bittman‘s latest cookbook released this month, the Food Matters Cookbook, which is described as a collection of “500, terrific, less meatatarian recipes.”

Bittman’s Giant Quinoa Tamale with Tomatillo Salsa is a completely no meatatarian dish from the book, which can easily be made vegan by either leaving off the Monterey Jack cheese or substituting with a vegan brand of Jack like Follow Your Heart Vegan Gourmet.

This recipe is actually 2 in 1, as the tomatillo salsa featuring the green or green-purple colored tomato can be saved for your favorite Mexican snacks later.

Reports are that Glee star Lea Michele is acting all diva and bitchy on the set.

“Lea acts like she’s better than the rest of the cast,” a source told US Magazine.

Another source said, “She’s sweet, but she has her moments,” while yet another mentioned “she has become super-strict about her diet. She is a vegan now and says she hasn’t eaten cheese in a year!”‘

Duh! Hence the reason for the bitchiness.

If you’ve been a good boy or girl and know cheese is nothing but the product of whoring out cows that live only a 1/5 of their natural lifespan, not to mention the environmental impact of those same whores passing gas on dairy farms, you might have some “moments” of your own after giving up such an addictive and admittedly tasty product.

In walks vegan cheese to soothe yourself and everyone around you.

From soy based to rice based to nut cheese, there’s a block, bag of shreds or log to fulfill you when you need it. Check out this extensive list of vegan cheeses featuring products available at both the grocery store and online.

It’s been a year. It’s time. No one should go through that kind of dry spell.

Alex Jamieson, the wife of Morgan Spurlock, filmmaker who ate nothing but McDonald’s three times a day for his documentary Super Size Me, might be caught sneaking mouthfuls of something you won’t find at the burger giant several times a day.

According to Macleans, the woman who starred as herself in Spurlocks’s 2004 film as Healthy Chef Alex called the new Daiya vegan cheese, “crack for vegans.”

The story at Macleans details the rising popularity of the vegan cheese that, although created by two Canadians, surprisingly, can’t be found in Canada and you won’t believe the reason why.

When Russell Simmons entertains company, he feeds them with the same goodness he eats.

Simmons told the New York Post he likes ordering vegan pizza from Viva Herbal Pizzeria in NYC.

“They have a veggie-based cheese,” Simmons said. “It’s not rice or soy cheese. It melts like crazy and it’s amazing. On 11th Street and Second Avenue.”

A call to Viva Herbal reveals they use the new kid on the block Daiya Cheese, which is manufactured by a company in Vancouver, and is free from many allergens you may find in other non dairy cheeses like soy, casein, gluten, egg, wheat, barley, whey and nuts.

It’s also vegan.

“It’s nice to have people come over,” Simmons added. “I’m not a big dinner kind of person. I like small stuff. We have popcorn and stuff.”

Alan Cumming might take his leftover vegetarian lasagna with soy cheese to work on the set of the CBS drama The Good Wife, where he plays political campaign manager Eli Gold.

Whatever soy cheese he’s using, Cumming says it melts like the real thing.

“I’m a vegetarian,” Cumming told Wall Street Journal, “though I do eat eggs and cheese sometimes. But I make a good vegan lasagna with soy cheese. Soy cheese melts really well.”

Besides the examples of soy cheese we’ve given before, there’s a new kid on the block that is getting talked about a lot in vegetarian forums.

Unlike many other vegan cheeses, Daiya Cheese is soy free.
