Vegetarian Star

Single digit temperatures and snowy days make winter one of the best seasons to stay inside and try new recipes.

The Daily Green is featuring creations by several celebrity chefs, including vegan chefs Tal Ronnen and Bryant Terry and local food advocate Alice Waters.

The best treats, however, are vegetarian recipes by non vegetarian chefs like Jamie Oliver.

Although a target of animal rights activists for serving meat in his restaurants, Oliver has been outspoken about knowing the source of your food and improving the quality of food in school lunches in the UK.

His Vegetable Jalfrezi makes for a nice dish to enjoy at home, or to include in the children’s lunchbox.

Spices of ginger, garlic and cilantro liven up garbanzo beans and combine with vegetables such as cabbage and tomatoes to serve over rice and top with yogurt.

“I think the challenge to all of us is that we have to be better. Vegetarian chefs are like the Ginger Rogers to the omnivore chef’s Fred Astaire: Our job is harder because we have to do everything they do, only backwards and in high heels. We have to work twice as hard for half the respect. Despite this, we desperately need to engage with the mainstream food world, because it’s not enough to preach to the choir anymore. Chefs and owners, myself included, need to step up our game. We need to become the 4.0 GPA overachievers of food.”

—-Amanda Cohen, owner and chef at Dirt Candy, an award winning vegetarian restaurant in New York City.
