Vegetarian Star

Dan Hedaya showed up to give his onscreen fatherly support to onscreen daughter Alicia Silverstone during the launch of her new book, The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet at Candle 79 restaurant in New York City.

Hedaya played Mel Horowitz, Alicia’s character Cher‘s father in the 1995 film Clueless.

Has Hedaya’s onscreen daughter influenced dear ‘ol dad’s off screen diet?

The Kind Diet is set for release October 13.

Giada De Laurentiis made an appearance at Alicia Silverstone‘s launch party for her book The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet held at Candle 79 vegan restaurant.

Does the Food Network‘s Italian cooking diva have a thing for vegan meals?

If so, we’d love to see Giada feature a cheeseless lasagna dish, similar to her recipe we found for vegetarian Individual Vegetable Lasagnas.

The Kind Diet is set for release October 13.

Singer and songwriter Diane Warren loves her veggies so much, it may take her awhile to make up her mind deciding which ones to eat.

Warren was spotted at the Veggie Grill in Irvine, California ordering her food while another customer in line waited patiently.

“In line behind Diane Warren at Veggie Grill in WeHo. She’s taking a really long time to order.”

Veggie Grill then suggested why Diane was taking so long.

“…Probably composing new song”

Hilarious!

The food at Veggie Grill would make for great inspiration, like Chinese Chikin’ or our favorite title from the menu, “All Hail The Kale,” containing marinated kale and red cabbage, roasted corn salsa, agave-roasted walnuts with a ginger-papaya vinaigrette.

Yum.

Amanda Cohen

Amanda Cohen, founder and owner of Dirt Candy, has been named “Chef of the Month” at the Veg Cooking Blog.

Dirt Candy is an all vegetarian restaurant in New York City and Cohen was received prestige for her work at the restaurant.

Veg Cooking sat down with Cohen to discuss all things veggie and here are some of Amanda’s thoughts:

Lube it up:
Splurge on good oils. Truffle oil, almond oil, hazelnut oil, or pistachio oil are all really nice ways to finish off a dish. You can drizzle them over just about anything, cooked or raw, and they add an extra, savory dimension.

On Favorite Veg Ingredients:
Right now, what I’m really into are potatoes. And even though beet season is wrapping up, I’ll probably stay obsessed with them until the year’s last beet is pulled up out of the dirt.

On Vegan Cooking:
Everything at Dirt Candy comes in a vegan and a non-vegan version, and I really like skipping back and forth between vegan and vegetarian cooking. Vegan cooking is challenging in a way that’s a lot of fun. It wakes your brain up. And I actually think that the Orange Tofu we serve is better vegan (we use coconut milk in the sauce instead of butter).

On Producing Great Vegetarian Dishes
Vegetarian food should be about what you can eat, not what you can’t. Aping the “protein, sauce, side of veg” format of the standard meat dish just reminds omnivorous diners of what they’re not eating, and it doesn’t do justice to vegetables, fruits, grains, and all the other fun stuff we get to play with. To me, breaking the “meat replacement” mold is the most important element in cooking great vegetarian food.

Mayim Bialik had said she needed a vegan, kosher, organic chef in the neighborhood, but from the looks of this recipe, sounds like Chef Mayim’s got it all under control.

These Double Chocolate Brownies can be made vegan or not, depending on your preference and have the unique addition of adding sweet potatoes to the batch.

Get the recipe for Mayim’s Double Chocolate Brownies after the jump… (more…)

Christian Serratos appreciates it when a traditional fast food giant remembers to put a little veg love on the menu.

On a recent Tweet, Christian wrote:

“Thank you Burger King for having veggie burgers. Yummmmmyyy”

The next time you’re in an otherwise meat-laden, grease fest food establishment and you’re able to consume something from the menu, follow Christian’s lead.

Because if they never know we want it, we’ll never get it!
