The microwave has come a long way. It’s hard to imagine anyone not using one.

But Robert Pattinson has a fairly new relationship with the microwave and the passion between the two is more steamy than removing the plastic film from the frozen dinner tray after it’s cooked.

Pattinson recently mentioned in an interview with GQ that he’s never owned a microwave until he moved to LA. Now that he’s got one, his desires are in overdrive and he’s always looking for new things to nuke.

PETA caught wind of this and are sending him their very own cookbook,  PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook: 275 Easy, Cheap, and Delicious Recipes to Keep You Vegan at School

The cookbook doesn’t officially come out until May. But here’s a lovely infomercial that’ll have you whipping out your credit card at 3:00 AM after watching the one for the Time Life 80s collection.

Now, Rob should have no problem finding something to pop in the box every night. With recipes like Fake Blondes, Pimp My Ramen Noodles, Butt Ugly Sticky Blonds, and Campus Streaker Sausage Dip, we expect Rob and the microwave to be going strong for a while.

Chrissie Hynde’s gotten a lot of publicity for opening a vegan Italian restaurant in her hometown of Akron, Ohio, but her Executive Chef, Scot Jones, may have been hiding in her shadow.

Not anymore.

Jones has authored a few chapters in an upcoming vegan cookbook and while he wasn’t in The Vegiterranean kitchen perfecting spaghetti with “rawmesan,” he developed recipes for Oprah’s famous 21 Day vegan cleanse.

The book’s working title, The Conscious Vegan, is written by chef Tal Ronnen, founder of Veg Advantage, a non-profit organization that helps restaurants put vegetarian items on their menus.

When Jones met Ronnen to consult on the menu for The Vegiterranean, the two hit it off well and Jones was asked to assist in providing recipes for Oprah Winfrey’s 21 day vegan cleanse.

”He used 21 of my recipes and 21 of his recipes to do Oprah’s 21 Day Cleanse in Hawaii last summer,” Jones said.

The book is scheduled to be released this fall and will feature a couple of chapters and recipes from Jones, like SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH TEMPEH BACON AND CHIPOTLE CREAM.

Jones isn’t a vegetarian yet, but he’s added more vegan foods into his diet.
