The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine has named Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin‘s Skinny Bitch In The Kitch one of five best cookbooks of the decade.

From a press release:

“Skinny Bitch in the Kitch provides healthy vegan recipes that actually taste good, from Bitchtastic Brownies to dairy-less Fettuccini Alfredo.”

It’s those Bitchtastic Brownies that made Bitch in the Kitch a New York Times Bestseller.

As expected Alicia Silverstone‘s The Kind Diet made the cut, as well as The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen, The Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn and Cooking the Whole Foods Way by Christina Pirello.

Heather Mills “Dancing On Ice” Vegan Chocolate Cake Rewards

Heather Mills Launches V-Bites Restaurant

Hard work calls for celebration.

The Mirror reported the contestants on Dancing on Ice were given chocolate skate shaped cakes for their efforts, but not every competitor was delighted.

“Only vegan Heather Mills moaned about them,” said a source.

Heather probably moaned from disappointment rather the discontent, as she knows there are plenty of good vegan cakes in the world to reward yourself for a good day on the ice.

Like the homemade vegan cakes (some of which are gluten-free) in her own restaurant, V Bites.

Heather probably keeps a few slices in her locker, next to that extra pair of blade covers.

Bethenny Frankel "The Skinnygirl Dish"

Skinny girl dishes or Big Oranges…

Two celebrity chefs have recognized the power of cooking with plants, and it’s time to give them some love!

Bethenny Frankel has always included the veggies in her culinary work, founding the now defunct Bethenny Bakes, which specialized in dairy, egg-free and gluten free goodies.

Besides giving veggie burgers and vegan mayonnaise the shout out, Bethenny has included tips for turning the recipes in her latest book, The Skinnygirl Dish, vegetarian.

Rachael Ray finally got on board a year ago and included an entire chapter of vegetarian recipes in her Big Orange Book cookbook and featured a dessert with vegan marshmallows on her website.

She still runs in the opposite direction when approached by a vegan, though.

Between the two chefs who sometimes put a sprinkle of herbivore happiness in their otherwise meat based cuisines, who would you rather…

Tal Ronnen “The Conscious Cook” Le Cordon Bleu Cooking Lessons

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 in Chefs, Food & Drink.

The Conscious Cook author Tal Ronnen visited Chicago recently to chat with Oprah and demonstrate vegetarian cooking to students at Le Cordon Bleu culinary school.

If any chef who came out of Tal’s class claims to be clueless about vegetarian food, you know they were playing hooky!

Ronnen lead the group through making three recipes: tortellini with an artichoke-“ricotta” filling and saffron cream sauce; celery root soup with Granny Smith apples; and Gardein “chicken” scaloppini with shiitake-sake sauce.

He touted the goodness of faux meat products by Gardein, which he says have the texture of the muscle fibers of real meat.  Ronnen also explained how to make your own cashew milk.

And in case you didn’t already know, all the important names in Cali eat veg.

“Every celebrity under the sun is a vegetarian,” he said of LA.

Sweet.

Now every ordinary person in Minnesota, Louisiana and that town with only 30 people and four streets can learn to cook like a star.

Does Alicia even bother to attend the Environmental Media Awards?
