Roger Ebert is proving no disability will stop his passion for critique and advice. Although complications from oral cancer robbed him of the ability to speak, he’s turned this hardship into a motivator. After writing a cookbook on rice cookers, The Pot and How To Use It, Ebert continues to guide people’s decisions in the kitchen through a recent New York Times column where he answers questions readers have left for him about cooking and life in general.

One reader was looking to replace boxed Zatarain’s beans and rice with a slow cooked, homemade version, but was unsure of what goes best in The Pot.

“I love a rice cooker meal of Zatarain’s rice with vermicelli, black beans and frozen vegetables (and turmeric)! I have unsuccessfully tried to duplicate the texture of the rice mix with rice and broken vermicelli. I am wondering if you have experimented with this. I am considering using orzo.Thanks Roger!”

Ebert’s recommended a mix of legumes, grains and seeds called Soo Foo.

Page Six reports that the former president of the United States was spotted eating a veggie burger at Babette’s in East Hampton, New York. And let’s hear it for Hillary, who chose the falafel instead of meat as well.

“He was sitting in a corner banquette, eating a veggie burger and a mountain of vegetables. He was with Hillary, who had a falafel plate, and her mother, Dorothy Rodham, who ate French toast.

In case you haven’t heard, New York vegetarian restaurant owner Amanda Cohen did broccoli well on an episode of Iron Chef America that aired this weekend. The secret ingredient could be found paired with a crispy, orange tofu, which one judge said tasted, “nothing at all like the tofu I made when I was a teenager, when I was a strict vegetarian.”

Ironically, another judge liked the tofu and everything else but the secret ingredient. “I’m not so found of the broccoli.”

Sigh…You can’t please everyone.
