Quantcast Vegetarian StarVegucating Robin

Robin Quivers has successfully complete season one of her web-based vegan cooking show, Vegucating Robin.

Health foodies will tell you nature’s fruits are the best dessert, but Quivers and her co-host Gavan Murphy prove even mother nature can be improved upon as they demonstrate making Prosecco-poached pears.

Sweet fruit is bathed in orange juice, wine and garnished with cinnamon, chocolate and fresh mint.

These desserts are as visually beautiful as they are sweet. The pear’s shape, including the stem, is held intact for an astounding presentation.

Robin Quivers Weighs In On Oprah Going Vegan

Robin Quivers took a break from filming her web-based cooking show, Vegucating Robin, to blog at the Huffington Post on Oprah‘s most recent vegan stint.

Quivers’ post highlights how the several hundred Harpo staffers that went vegan with Oprah may have alleviated some of the most common medical problems caused by diets, if only for the short duration they stuck to the diet. She reminds readers that even the United States government is now telling people eating a more plant-based diet may go a long way to maintaining good health.

It’s not known how many of Oprah’s staffers continued the diet after the challenge was met. But Quivers hopes many at home who watched the episode will continue the course, seeing how taking control of one’s own health through the food he or she eats may do more than any discovery in the medical or biotech lab.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 28th, 2011 in Food & Drink, Recipes, Videos.

The portabello mushroom is the vegetarian man’s (and woman’s meat). Even a carnivore can’t resist a thick cap grilled to perfection and topped with onions, tomatoes, peppers and other veggies while simultaneously wedged between a warm loaf like focaccia.

Robin Quivers from “The Howard Stern Show” continues her journey in learning to cook new vegan dishes on her web-based show, “Vegucating Robin,” by stuffing portabello with herbed quinoa.

Yum!

She and co-host Gavan Murphy have nicknamed this the vegan meat of vegans.

Robin Quivers Makes Superbowl Snacks On Vegucating Robin (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 7th, 2011 in Food & Drink, Radio Hosts, Videos.

The Superbowl is about a month away and for those who enjoy the countdown, the National Football League has provided a nice stopwatch on its website.

What the NFL isn’t providing, however, is a recipe for healthy, vegetable chips to replace the salty ones in the bag you enjoy dipping while gulping down the vegan beer.

Robin Quivers and chef Gavan suggest making these from carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes and rutabagas–all fantastic tuber vegetables–as a great TV watching snack on Quivers’ web based series on vegan cooking, Vegucating Robin.

Plus, cool tips like right way to peel a vegetable and how to use a mandolin are included.

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!”

Robin Quivers “Vegucating Robin” Cooking Show Trailer (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, November 22nd, 2010 in Film & TV, Food & Drink, Radio Hosts, Videos.

After five years of eating vegan, Robin Quivers faced what many face after putting another bean burrito in the microwave and scarfing it down with tomato soup. Bored with her usual food routine, Quivers hired a chef, a handsome man named Gavan who is reported to be able to “cook anything,” including some new dishes to spark Quivers’ palate.

This new television show, Vegucating Robin, will feature Gavan teaching Quivers how to blend, boil, bake, blanch and blacken tofu, pasta, legumes, vegetables and all these meat, egg, and dairy-free.

For those of us itching for a vegan or vegetarian cooking show, we may have just gotten our wish. Quivers, the co-host to shock jock Howard Stern, has the both the look, personality and celebrity status to make veg mainstream–daytime or prime-time.
