Vegetarian Star

Zooey Deschanel has already revealed her multiple food allergies made attempting to be vegetarian and vegan a nightmare.

Soy, wheat, dairy and eggs are all no-nos. At the end of the day that leaves little left in terms of vegetable protein (rice, legumes) so Zooey gave in and welcomed meat into her life.

So if you tuned into Top Chef Masters this week, you know chef Michael Chiarello won the heart and belly of Zooey Deschanel, as well as the week’s winning dish.

Zooey appeared as a guest who had a lot of dietary restrictions-vegan, gluten-free, and no soy.

Chiarello whipped up a Quinoa Spaghetti with Salsa Verde, Gremolata and Tomatoes.

Here’s a video of Chef Chiarello doing his thing.

If you’re interested in making the pasta dish yourself at home, here’s the recipe.

Tis the season for vegan on Top Chef.

Although that dreadful Hardee’s Thickburger commercial star Padma Lakshmi still hangs around cheering for steak, more vegan moments are occurring on the Bravo Network Reality TV series.

We already know vegan actress Natalie Portman will be popping in sometime.

And next week, actress and singer Zooey Deschanel will make an appearance.

The chef contestants will have the challenge of preparing a meal for Zooey and her friends.

Not only must the chefs make a vegan meal, it needs to fit Zooey’s dietary restrictions of gluten-intolerance and no soy.

Watch Zooey send a special message to the chefs, prepping them for the competition.
