Vegetarian Star

Amanda Cohen has a brand new cookbook out with more than just recipes. There are also illustrations, comics and musings about the restaurant industry.

According to the owner and chef at NYC’s vegetable restaurant Dirt Candy, such a diverse selection of material is needed to make a cookbook more valuable these days as the Internet has given them some competition.

“For me, the internet has changed the whole recipe delivery system,” Cohen told Blisstree. “When I’m looking for versions of a recipe I go online first, not to my bookshelf. A cookbook can’t just list a bunch of recipes and have that be enough anymore. Maybe as an artifact, but it’s not a useful book.”

Roberto Martin, Ellen DeGeneres‘ personal chef and the man that’s enticed viewers of her show with tasty meatless dishes like Thanksgiving Seitan Roast, Spring Rolls and Vegan Tacos, has published a cookbook with a title that suggests he’s out to convert a few hamburger lovers.

Vegan Cooking for Carnivores promises “125 recipes so tasty you won’t miss the meat,” but offers much more than lists of ingredients.

Not even pizza delivery guys can promise a quick meal at your doorstep anymore, but Robin Wright would at least like a vegan dinner that doesn’t take all day to cook.

Woody Harrelson is known for impressing his co-stars on film sets with vegan food, but when he tried to convince his Rampart co-star to eat what his personal chef cooked, she complained the food took too long to make.

“Relationships are complex things and to hinge them on just one aspect doesn’t make them any easier. In this world there are perfectly wonderful people who eat meat and then there are some unpleasant people who are vegan. What is most important if you’re a vegan dating an omnivore is that this person is respectful of your lifestyle choices. And if they’re millionaires and gorgeous, more power to you.”

—Terry Hope Romero, vegan Latin food queen and author of several vegan cookbooks, including Viva Vegan!, Vegan Cupcakes Invade Your Cookie Jar and Veganomicon.

No, not not every vegan is opposed to loving a meat eater. Some even recommend it, as there’s opportunity to share the food in your world with someone who normally wouldn’t be exposed to it.

Still not comfortable making the pizza half veggie and half meat with your lover? There are numerous vegetarian and vegan dating sites online.

If there was one resolution cookbook author Christina Pirello wanted to keep, it was to refrain from getting angry.

Unfortunately, an article she read in a magazine which touted “heart-healthy” meals containing meat was enough to make her renege before the end of January.

“I get to the article–there’s about 7 dishes. Not one dish is based in veggies. Oh, they might have some zucchini thrown in or a little broccoli stirred in, but that’s it…If it didn’t have processed grain, it had animal food. Very likely both. Not one was vegetable-based.”

Not to worry, though. Pirello has picked up where the article left off and unveiled her “Healthy Cookbooks To Start The New Year.”

Moby has been a vegan for 20 years, but is bashful about proclaiming himself as a great vegan chef.

He told the Milwaukee Wisconsin Sentinel Journal, “I’m a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.”

Sounds like vegan men aren’t any different from meat eaters after all when it comes to the kitchen.

Could it be the only decent meal Moby can make is his vegan blueberry pancakes?

Thankfully, if you’re not a great cook either, there are dozens of ready made vegetarian and vegan meals that require the simple skill of manipulating the microwave buttons.

A visit to the frozen aisle of the grocery store can stock your freezer with simple vegetarian meals like burritos or old fashioned macaroni and cheese to ethnic dishes containing samosas and dahl to fake meat and potatoes.

Those ramen noodles you used to make with chicken during the after school hours?

They now come flavored with miso.

Of course, when you’re ready to become Julia Child (who at one point couldn’t understand why anyone would want to be vegetarian) these lists for the top 10 vegetarian and top 10 vegan cookbooks will help get you started.
