Vegetarian Star

“The whole idea is baby steps. Try one dish a week. If it’s a big hit, throw it in the rotation, and then do another dish on Monday so then Monday is meatless, but Thursday is red beans and rice. What I love hearing is “My husband is a card-carrying carnivore, but I made him this dish from your book and he loved it so much he took leftovers to work.” When I hear that a dish is going to become someone’s staple, that’s just the coolest thing.”

—Roberto Martin, author of Vegan Cooking for Carnivores and personal chef to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

Chace Crawford plays a butcher named Cole in a film about an uptight, conservative lawyer Diane (Catherine Keener) who pays a visit to her hippie mother (Jane Fonda) she hasn’t seen in two decades.

Diane has a daughter Zoe (Elizabeth Olsen) who apparently takes after grandma, as she’s vegetarian, but still falls for Cole.

Unfortunately vegetarian ladies, although Crawford doesn’t butcher in real life, you’d have to be a Zoe to fall for him because he does eat meat. But the film did make him explore the idea of where it comes from.

Kim Barnouin, co-author of the highly popular and best-selling Skinny Bitch vegan diet book series, has signed a deal with Karen Kosztolnyik at Simon & Schuster’s Gallery imprint to write a novel with a similar title and vegan theme.

Skinny Bitch in Love is about a vegan chef who loses her job and her significant other simultaneously. Things get interesting and possibly steamier than a wok of tofu and veggies when she launches her own cooking school and falls in love with a meat-eating man.

Besides the Skinny Bitch series she co-wrote with Rory Freedman, Barnouin has published another book solo, Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook.

Victoria Moran‘s latest book, Main Street Vegan is, from what the title hints at, all about making veganism a more mainstream movement.

Growing up in the midwest, Moran says “people confused yoga and yogurt, and both were just odd.”

Today, she hopes not only to help them distinguish between the exercise and dairy product, but teach the basic principles of incorporating the rights foods into a well-balanced animal-free diet for better health.

Besides defining “yoga” and “yogurt,” Moran has also taken the time to define what a Main Street Vegan is.

Michelle Pfeifer was a guest on Piers Morgan Tonight where she discussed her motivation for adopting a vegan diet.

According to some sources, Pfeiffer once tried vegetarianism, then abandoned it.

Learning about Bill Clinton‘s health transformation after he gave up animal products inspired her.

“OK, Bill Clinton loves food, so there must be something to [veganism] that’s making him stick to it. And also, he’s smart, so he’s not going to do something unless he really thinks there’s some science behind it,” Pfeiffer said.
