Vegetarian Star

Mary McCartney has published a vegetarian cookbook filled with recipes inspired by her mother’s cooking and tales of food memories she formed in the famous McCartney household.

“Growing up in a vegetarian family and having Mum at the helm in the kitchen, encouraging us all to muck in, was the best education I could have asked for,” writes Mary at Food and Drink. “Over the years I have continued to cook as my mum did, experimenting with ingredients, flavours and textures.”

One of the recipes in Food is for a hummus sandwich with chilli jam.

Alicia Silverstone makes a debut on ABC’s Suburgatory tonight that seems a little type-casted.

But what vegan wouldn’t mind the honor of being, as Seattle Pi writes, the “farm-raised lass from Montana who instantly has George eating the crunchy, non-processed granola out of the palm of her hand.”

Silverstone’s character Eden meets George at the local Farmer’s Market and things get so steamy we don’t want to know what they do with those fruits and vegetables.

Eva Longoria was spotted at the series finale of Desperate Housewives carrying a vegan Jill Milan Art Deco Clutch.

The clutch, available in both gold and silver, is one of many items in the luxury collection by Jill Milan that creates high end fashion without the use of leather.

In an interview with FashionSalade, co-founder Jill Fraser discussed how the cruelty-free handbag line was created and how pleased even their non-vegan customers are with the materials.

“People often remark they are shocked our bags are not leather,” Fraser said. “It is because our faux leather is actually more expensive and has a higher quality than most real leather.”

Underwood prefers home-cooked meals to catered ones because she knows what’s in the food.

How do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend?

If your ideas include purchasing cheap tortilla chips from the gas station and buying some cheap, off-brand guacamole spread you think is vegan, but actually contains milk, it’s time to take some advice from one of the biggest names in home cooking, Betty Crocker.

The company has unveiled “Feed Your Fiesta: 5 Tacos. 5 Margaritas. 5 de Mayo,” five tacos paired with five margaritas based on today’s trends in food. As it has in the past, Betty Crocker recognizes vegetarianism as being one of those hottest trends and has included a vegan taco that also happens to be gluten-free, paired with Frozen Mango COCOritas.

Some of us can credit a specific person in our lives that brought us closer to vegetarianism and animal rights.

Actress Jorja Fox recalls the day her grandmother warned her that animals’ natural environments were being threatened.

“She had this amazingly progressive philosophy regarding animals,” Fox told Vegetarian Times. “I remember watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom as a little kid, and they’re talking about habitat issues and she’s saying to me, “We have to do something about this.”

Fox recently recorded a PSA for Animals Defenders International to educated the public on the treatment of circus animals. The clip shows beautiful images of elephants walking across the Earth outdoors. The peaceful imagery is a sharp contrast to the elephants that are then shown in a circus environment.

Watch the clip below.
