Amanda Cohen, owner of New York-based vegetable restaurant Dirt Candy, is one of the star chefs on the 2012 Celebrity Chef Tour, where connoisseurs can experience both food and wine prepared by some of the nation’s most talented cuisine specialists.

“It’s kind of like a buffet that comes to you, you get a little bit of everything from different restaurants,” Cohen said of the event. “Instead of having to go to five different restaurants, you get to go to one.”

Cohen was the guest chef at Denver’s Linger restaurant where she shared her expertise on veggies.

Joanna Lumley

Joanna Lumley supports a campaign that would establish better standards for dairy cows all across Europe.

The European Citizens’ Initiative seeks to, “inspire and mobilise European citizens to call for a specific directive that guarantees improved animal welfare for dairy cows” and targets legislation dealing with four key areas of cow welfare: housing, health, feeding and behavior.

“It’s our chance to say we don’t want to see our cows forced indoors, unable to graze in the summer fields, and to ask the EU to give them the protection they deserve,” Lumley said.

Ted Deutch

A congressman celebrated his 46th birthday in style.

Ted Deutch, D-Boca Raton, hosted a dinner party in honor of growing older at Florida’s Sublime restaurant, a completely vegetarian eatery.

Sources say the politician and friends dined on Sicilian grilled vegetables, veggie burgers, Thai pizza, enchiladas, ravioli, quiche and chocolate nirvana cake.

The Sun-Sentinel said wrote, “It’s a good thing he’s in a safely liberal, Democratic district in Broward and Palm Beach counties. If he had more tea party constituents, they’d probably prefer he celebrate by eating red meat.”

Or, he’d, like a former Republican Montana  governor did, celebrate with veggies and then deny ever contemplating such a sin.

Mennel spoke with Vegetarian Times for its July/August 2012 issue and shared what she might have Theroux push other people to get for her during a hungry moment.

“I’ve always been in love with East Indian cooking. I took an East Indian cooking class, andwe made a parsnip-and-eggplant biryani with almond cream sauce to die for.”

Zoe Soul

Reed Between the Lines star Zoe Soul went vegetarian at 15 and it only took a few days after that for her to go vegan.

She recorded a pro-veggie ad for PETA where she discusses her feelings that animals aren’t “souless” creatures. She says they have distinct personalities but, without a voice, need humans to protect them.

One way to do that is by going vegetarian like Zoe. And she assures it’s not as difficult as it sounds.

Eat & Run Scott Jurek

We’ve been told too many times by mom and everyone else that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But do we ever get any good advice for meal ideas besides the same old vegan pancakes or tofu scramble? (Not that those aren’t  tasty. It’s just that after three months of either breakfast, you might crave a change.)

Long distance running champion Scott Jurek has a favorite porridge recipe he makes using quinoa.

A spin-off of traditional oatmeal, quinoa replaces oats and is stewed in non-dairy almond milk and garnished with both fresh and dried fruit.
