Vegetarian Star

Daphne Oz

One of Daphne Oz‘s tips in her book, Dorm Room Diet, is to make breakfast the largest meal of the day.

In other words, eat like a Roman Gladiator would.

Scientists who’ve examined the skeletons of the soldiers discovered they were large beefcakes, but rarely ate animal proteins. Based on the levels of zinc and strontium in cells, experts are able to determine the diet of the deceased warriors. Because the Gladiators had higher levels of strontium and little zinc, it was determined they ate mainly vegetarian.

Yet, these guys were HUGE with strong bone density so it’s a safe bet they’re breakfasts consisted of high protein, good carbs and a decent amount of good fat like Oz’s super starter of the day meal, Gladiator Oatmeal.

"Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook"

If cutting back on desserts is one of your New Year’s resolutions, you may want to put it on hold until you’ve gobbled up Kim Barnouin‘s Vegan Apple Pie.

A treat that Barnouin’s mother has made for 40 years, Jack’s Grandma’s Apple Pie has undergone a few transformations to suit the Skinny Bitch author’s egg and dairy-free dietary preferences.

Earth Balance vegan butter and Spectrum vegetable shortening are Kim’s preferred switches for the pie, but she was nice enough to give other vegan baking suggestions during her interview with EcoStiletto.

Olivia Wilde "Women'sHealth Magazine"

Tomorrow Olivia Wilde‘s Women’s Health cover hits the stands, and as much as men everywhere are excited about what’s on the outside, we’re bomb-diggitied about the recipe Wilde shares inside.

Wilde joked to a Flaunt photograher that she’d never be super skinny because of all the pasta she eats regularly with her Italian husband, and her Bomb-Diggity “Bolognese” shared with Women’s Health featuring tempeh for the “meat” might be what she dreams of getting fat off, which could still be hard given pasta is full of good carbs that give you energy and not love handles.

ESPN’s Rick Reilly had the pleasure of spending a day with Ron Artest. During the 16 hours of being studied, Artest obviously got a little hungry and revealed to Reilly he eats an 80% vegan diet.

“11:42 a.m. — Ron Ron is carrying a large bag of food for his lunch — all vegan. But Ron Ron is not entirely vegan. “About 80 percent,” he says. “I like pork chops.””

The first episode in a web-based series featuring Robin Quivers and a vegan chef through various culinary adventures has been posted to YouTube.

“Vegucating Robin” is Quivers’ way of introducing herself to new vegan dishes since experiencing food monotony after being vegan for five years.

Quivers and Chef Gavan make “Cannellini Bean Concerto,” a vegan dish that requires only eight ingredients, which is a nice change from recipes found in many cookbooks, magazines and elsewhere that sometimes require you spend twice as much on groceries in order to purchase the ingredients for one new dish.

In this episode, Quivers helps name the dish, describing it as something that “brings all the flavors together,” making it a “concerto.”

The recipe for Cannellini Bean Concerto can be found at GavanMurphy.com/vegucating-robin. Hopefully, all future recipes from the episodes will also be available to print.

Stay tuned for December 8th’s show titled, “It’s not pesto without pine nuts!”

Boy George knows a little bit about corruption.

While serving a few months in prison for assault and false imprisonment of a male escort, George gave back to the world in more ways than one. In several interviews, he’s discussed how he got in the kitchen and made vegetarian meals for fellow inmates.

The only thing better than an Ellen DeGeneres vegan Thanksgiving is an Ellen DeGeneres vegan Thanksgiving catered by her personal chef Roberto Martin.

Like she’s done in the past, the daytime talk show host welcomed Martin to her show recently to demonstrate some vegan recipes for the holidays. Martin made a roast from seitan, vegan mushroom gravy, mashed yams, cranberry sauce and vegan pumpkin cheesecake.

The recipes for the roast, yams, and cheesecake are available from Ellen’s website.

Martin says the pumpkin can easily be substituted for berries for those that don’t find the orange fruit tasty in the cheesecake recipe.

Watch Martin roll and slice a perfectly shaped loaf made with wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, breadcrumbs and several spices in the video below.

Art Smith and Tal Ronnen

Today is the last Meatless Monday recipe before Thanksgiving and what better way to celebrate a holiday tradition than with a traditional meal of fried NOT-chicken!

Guaranteed to put KFC to shame, this vegan fried chicken doesn’t involve birds being scalded in hot water or their throats slit (a nice image to accompany while eating real chicken, though), but it does involve Gardein faux chicken fillets, Chick’n Scallopini, available from natural and veg-friendly stores like Whole Foods. This recipe if so perfectly put together, you could probably even substitute another vegetarian chicken if Gardein is no where to be found.
