Post Punk Kitchen

We already know Isa Chandra Moskowitz makes badass vegan desserts.

With cookbooks like Vegan With A Vengeance and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World, and not to mention that Post Punk Kitchen show, Isa has taken over the vegan world with her delicious recipes and sassy attitude.

Now we know Isa is a badass environmentalist as well.

Grist.org lists her among the top, “badass greens,” saying, “This vegan-punk chef is taking over the world—one decadent, dairy-free delicacy at a time. As an author and co-founder of the cooking show Post Punk Kitchen, Moskowitz is bringing mainstream audiences two flavors of badassery for the price of one. But will punk officially be dead when The Man starts baking vegan cupcakes?”

Hey, when The Man starts baking vegan cupcakes, we will have eventually got the man down, so that’s cool.

Moby was on his way to the dentist recently when he started a much intellectual discussion with himself about whether zombies would find vegans tasty.

Please note that he hadn’t been to the dentist yet, so there was no Novocaine or other mind altering painkiller involved.

“see, i know the zombies won’t want to eat the vegans, as vegans tend to be all skinny and stringy and we’re generally kind of speedy. they’re going to make a b-line for vegas and eat the people standing in the buffet line. cull the herd, zombies.”

Why the concern about zombies, you ask? After experiencing his first earthquake a few days ago, Moby also experienced his first zombie escape. You can view a pic of the zombie escaping the trunk of a car on his journal.

Of course, Moby never thought to ask if zombies themselves were vegan. That fugitive zombie could just have a mean craving for sweet and sour tofu.

Even though it took her almost forever to finally get her vegan restaurant off the ground, we’re learning more and more about Heather Mills‘ plans for her diner, V-Bites.

Chef Heather will be making guest appearances every Sunday cooking her favorites for customers. Now that’s ownership!

“I’ll be coming in on Sundays, making my speciality of all the roast potatoes, parsnips, all the veg and gravy,” Heather revealed.

Mmmm…Who doesn’t like vegan gravy? Yum!

If you can’t make it to Heather’s place every Sunday, there’s tons of vegan gravy recipes on the good ol’ net, like Brown Gravy, Chickenless Gravy, and Roasted Garlic Gravy over at vegcooking.com. 

Vegan gravy goes great over seitan, biscuits, tofu, and veggies. There’s no need to wait until the Holidays to make it!

Diane Keaton recently gave an interview with DesMoinesregister.com while eating a “Chinese chicken salad without the chicken.”

When you take the meat off salads with “meaty” names, you’re usually left with rabbit leaves-no dried fruit, nuts, beans or any other delicious additions a veggie salad would include.

Sounds pretty bland, but ’cause Diane’s veg, she had to get her salad sin pollo.

Wonder if she knows she can have her Chinese Chicken flavor and (fake) meat it too?

Famous veg Doc Dr. John McDougall has a line of soups out and one of his low sodium delights is Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup. A description from Rightfoods.com says, “Tasty sesame, ginger and green onions give this vegetarian Chinese Noodle Soup a delicious Asian flair. Only 1 g fat, 140 calories and 360 mg sodium.”

Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup, as well as every McDougall soup, is vegan and available on the shelves at your local grocery. You can also order online.

Poor Diane. Someone’s gotta tell her to ditch the rabbit leaves and go for the faux real Chinese Chicken next time.

Method Man and Redman have recorded a new album, Blackout! Vol. 2, and their latest rhymes have some veggie rhythms to them.

We would never promote the use of drugs, but feel it’s necessary to emphasize that although Method raps about following Amy Winehouse’s lead and rejecting rehab, at least his Method Woman is off meat.

From track 12, Dis Iz 4 All My Smokers:

They tried to make me go to rehab, no
Tell my P.O. that I ain’t trying to let the weed bag go
You can catch me in the whip pushing the seats back slow, my chick’s a vegan, that mean she off the meat rack, though.

If you’re interested in reading more about Blackout! Vol. 2, you’ll have to do so here on this mobile phone. Either we are late in the game learning about this type of blogging or someone at Vibe’s really creative.

Method Man is a member of the veg group Wu-Tang Clan.

We’ve covered so much veggie athlete news lately, we’re on a roll and should head to Vegas!

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Pat Neshek recently spoke with the Minneapolis Star Tribune where he revealed he’s “willing to take the heat” for his veganism.

“I get that all the time,” Neshek said. “Like Gardy [manager Ron Gardenhire], he’ll make fun of me and stick a hot dog in my face and say, “You want to eat this?” A lot of guys are curious. Most of the time, there’s a lot of guys that make fun of you.”

No problem for Neshek, as he knows he’s putting the good stuff down that ultimately will make his game better.

Besides, who cares about the guys? He’s got a woman at home to answer to.

When he first met his wife, he was heading for a McDonald’s and the future Mrs. Neshek said, “I can’t believe you eat that stuff!” This comment, along with reading The China Study, which links a meat based diet to diseases, prompted Neshek to work on his steakouts as much as his strikeouts.

Five years later, the Mrs. Neshek is still helping Pat with his veg game.

“My wife, she’s an excellent cook, so that’s the main reason I can pull this off,” he said.

Visit startribune.com to learn what Pat’s typical breakfast consists of and read the entire interview.

Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie Sioux & The Banshees has two darling kitties she loves dearly, but can’t stand making homemade cat food for them because she has to handle chicken.

“One of them got ill and now he won’t eat cat food,” she told the Times Online.

“I’m a vegetarian and now I have to go to Waitrose and get corn-fed free-range chicken for the little f***er. That’s all he’ll eat. I’m just waiting for the day when he decides he’s off the chicken and it’s got to be duck!”

Siouxsie Sioux, whose real name is Susan Janet Ballion, says she’s trying to teach her cats to use the toilet via Litter Kwitter. Good luck with that one!

While it’s been traditionally thought that cats need meat to get essential nutrients in their diets, some vegan cat food products have hit the market, including those sold at Vegancats.com.

The key is that these foods contain taurine, which is vital to a cat’s health.

Of course any changes to an animal’s diet should be discussed with your vet.

We all remember that pivotal point in our lives when we turned vegetarian or vegan. Whether it was one last Thanksgiving meal or getting sick from a bad cheesy dish or watching a documentary on animal cruelty, the decision to go veg is often as memorable as first jobs or wedding dates.

Big Love and He’s Just Not That Into You actress Ginnifer Goodwin explained to W magazine’s editor what her defining moment for veganism was.

“We were filming the road trip episode of this season’s Big Love and we were staying in a hotel. I was doing a lot–and I mean a lot—of yoga at the time, and I’ve heard it’s not uncommon for something like this to happen when you are in a stage like that. Anyway, I was having my morning coffee, and I was pouring milk into it, and all I can say is that I suddenly realized what it was that I was pouring into my coffee. I was so disgusted, because I had never actually stopped to think about what milk is. And dairy had always been my favorite food group! I thought, ‘Surely this feeling will pass,’ but at lunchtime I was still disgusted. Over the next few days, I started really thinking about what I was eating.”

Can you remember the exact event that served as the catalyst for you go to go veg?
