Vegetarian Star

Alicia Silverstone recently showed Oprah Winfrey‘s audience what she might pick up during a trip to the grocery store.

As expected, Alicia included plenty of vegan substitutes for dairy products like Earth Balance Vegan butter, Follow Your Heart Soy Cheese and Vegenaise.

For meat substitutes, Alicia chose Gardein Chick’n Scallopini, Field Roast Sausages and Tempeh Bacon.

Alicia’s got a healthy appetite for vegan sweets as well…yum!

Visit Oprah’s website to view Alicia’s entire shopping list.

Erin McKenna is featured in a series of interviews highlighting women who’ve impacted vegetarian cooking at lunchboxbunch.com, Veggie Girl Power: The Interview Series.

Erin is famous for starting up BabyCakes bakery in New York city, which features vegan sweets that cater to those with food sensitivities to ingredients like gluten and sugar.

The cool thing about Erin is that although she’s not a vegetarian, she’s been successful at creating a product that’s praised by vegetarians and meat eaters alike, plus she has no problem partaking in veggie food when the time is right.

“My favorite thing ever is Vegenaise by Follow Your Heart,” Erin said. “It makes everything taste better!”

If you’ve been hiding in cholesterol laden eggy mayonnaise, it’s time to give vegan mayonnaise a try!

Vegenaise comes in five varieties: Original, Grapeseed Oil, Organic, High Omega 3, and Reduced Fat.

Start following your heart-and your tastebuds today.

The Kind Diet

Alicia Silverstone will have her own session at the New York City Wine and Food Festival this weekend and she’ll be demonstrating cooking vegan recipes from her upcoming vegan diet book, The Kind Diet.

If baketivism is the way to people’s hearts, then Alicia should bring along some of the desserts from her cookbook, like the ones she described for expressnightout.com.

“The peanut butter cups and chocolate fudge brownies are insane,” Silverstone said. “Vegan food doesn’t have to compromise on taste. I challenge cheese to a duel! I think any of my amazing dishes are better than a cheese plate any day.”

Alicia’s is offering her guarantee.

“Even just replacing your butter with Earth Balance spread or mayonnaise with Vegenaise will make a difference. I promise they taste exactly the same. Mail it to me if you don’t think so! OK, don’t really mail it to me, but it’s just as good, and so much better for you.”

The current recipe entry in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop newsletter features a vegan B.L.T., or BLAT (Bacon Lettuce Avocado and Tomato) complete with her favorite mayonnaise substitute, Vegenaise.

Gwyneth says it best in the introduction to the recipe:

“This MAKE is for my no-dairy, no-meat, no-white flour (if you omit the croutons) loving friends who are looking for a quick, casual summer lunch. Proof that vegan food rocks!”

Yes, girlfriend, this sandwich does rock, and there’s a beautiful food porn picture of the stacked vegan goodness at Goop.com.

Gwyneth compliments that BLAT entry with un-Caesar salad-Caesar salad minus egg yolks and anchovies-and homemade rosemary and thyme croutons.

It’s all washed down with agave sweetened lemonade.

The best thing about veggie bacon is that it’s missing all the fatty sections that regular bacon has in it, so you get more “meat” in your bite. A good brand to check out is Lightlife Smart Bacon.

Friends and family of Gwyneth Paltrow, including Coldplay hubby Chris Martin, have become concerned over Gwyneth’s new strenuous health regime.

“She is obsessive about everything associated with her body,” a source said.

“Even Madonna is concerned. Gwyneth has been studying body-cleansing in earnest. She’s read a hundred books and talked to lots of doctors and experts.”

Part of her “obsessive” routine is blogging on her website Goop about “exotic meat substitutes” like Vegenaise, the UK Daily Mail had reported.

First, Vegenaise isn’t an exotic meat substitute, it’s a vegan mayonnaise substitute. Second, what’s so darn exotic about it?

After checking out the website, our favorite, the Grapeseed oil variety, contains the following: Grapeseed Oil, filtered water, apple cider vinegar, brown rice syrup, soy protein, sea salt, lemon juice concentrate, and mustard flour.

Sounds pretty simple. No eggs. No dairy. No nine syllable preservatives you can’t pronounce. Not to mention gluten-free, kosher, and no GMOs. And zero of that cholesterol junk regular mayonnaise contains.

Soooo not that exotic. But still so good.

If we had a dollar for every time we made fun of Gwyneth Paltrow for her pretending to be a real vegetarian then sneaking the turkey legs under her kitchen table, we’d make more money than what she’s made over the past decade.

We have learned that a recent entry to her online newsletter Poop Goop features a brief interview with her friend Tamra Davis, a film producer and director who, like Gywneth, talks of being “mostly vegetarian.”

Writes Gwyneth:

“We are both mothers of two small children, in the film business, are passionate amateur cooks, have an obsession with Vegenaise, are married to musicians and have a similar food ethos.”

Mmm…At least Gwynnie’s got good taste for vegan mayonnaise. Even if she does baste her Thanksgiving turkey with it.

This could be one of your few chances to snag a recipe featured on Goop that’s actually vegetarian, as Gwyneth is currently featuring Seitan with Lemon Caper Sauce, aka “Dinosaur Meat”.

Hop on over to Goop and check it out!

Andy Hurley recently showed off his home on MTV Cribs and opened his fridge to show the world a plethora of vegan goodies, what he described as, “Everything a real American needs to eat.”

Wow. Vegan and patriotic. 

So what does this real American Fall Out Boy eat? Silk soy yogurt, Tofutti Cutie Ice Cream Snacks, Amy’s Frozen meals, Earth Balance Vegan Butter, Health is Wealth Vegan Chicken Nuggets, and Vegenaise were just a few of the items the camera caught.

Other veg stars have opened their kitchen to MTV Cribs, including Russell Simmons.

Watch the video and play a “Where’s Waldo” kind of game to count how many vegan items the camera caught in Andy’s fridge. Then tell us how many you found!
