“We usually think of kindness in terms of how we treat others, but in order to be a kind mama, you need to start by being kind to yourself — both physically (from the foods you eat and how you take care of your body) and emotionally (to your way of thinking and your intentions for motherhood).”

—Alicia Silverstone, in an email interview with NJ.com on her new book about weaving veganism into pregnancy and motherhood, The Kind Mama.

Christina Pirello has written a new cookbook, Wellness 1000: Simple, Plant-Based Recipes and Sound Advice to Cook Your Way to Vibrant Health. The ebook edition of Wellness 1000 was released today, and the vegan chef and host of PBS’ Christina Cooks! gave an exclusive interview to Vegetarian Star to give readers a preview of what to expect on their electronic readers.

1. During your PBS cooking show, Christina Cooks!, the audience usually leaves with lots of laughter in addition to culinary tips. Can readers expect to find the same humor in Wellness 1000?
It’s hard to translate humor to the written page but luckily we were able to insert 32 videos into the Wellness 1000 so I can say with confidence that people will get a generous taste of my humor, since that is my hallmark. People say that I write like I talk, that they can ‘hear’ me in the pages of my books, so I think we might be all set in the humor department.

And did you hear the one about…?

2. You’ve talked about your Italian roots and growing up enjoying Italian cuisine, both on your site and your show. Italian food can be rich in cheese, cream and other dairy and meat products. Can you talk about some of the vegan alternatives and are there any recipe examples in Wellness 1000?
My Italian heritage is all over Wellness 1000! While I subscribe to a macrobiotic lifestyle, I have adapted it to embrace my Italian-ness and bring out the best of that simple yet elegantly delicious cuisine. Since freshness is the hallmark of Italian cooking, it’s not a big leap from traditional to plant-based. Wellness 1000 is rich in Italian style recipes.

Scott Adams, the creator behind the popular comic strip Dilbert, has written a book about his success, How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big.

Adams gives a few bits of advice for making it, but he doesn’t necessarily recommend you follow it, as Lesson#5 states: Don’t take career advice from a cartoonist. (or health advice or finance advice for that matter).

Good health is a must for any success and Adams lists this as one of the keys to getting what you want in life.

Staying Fit is Lesson #3, and he also advises to, “learn as much as you can about what food choices are better for you…People who know the most about nutrition almost always eat better.”

Sara Gilbert, actress and vegan now known for her role as one of the hosts on The Talk, has published a book on living eco-friendly.

The Imperfect Environmentalist is Gilbert’s guide to anyone interested in making simple changes in their life to help the environment.

The mother gives examples of how to live cleaner in many area of living, including the cosmetic cabinet, cleaning, fitness, gardening and recycling.

It’s much easier to motivate people to save the Earth if they aren’t being lectured too hard or are at least having fun with it.

Gilbert used these principles when writing the different sections of The Imperfect Environmentalist, making it a priority to humor her readers as much as she educates them.
