Comments Off on Hannah Kaminsky “My Sweet Vegan” Gives Food Photography Tips
Hannah Kaminsky
Hannah Kaminsky is a vegan chef genius, having already published a dessert cookbook and several ebooks while maintaining a popular vegan blog, Bittersweetblog.
Kaminsky is still in college, and plans to continue her career as a chef and recipe developer, which includes taking her own pictures for her books and blog.
Kaminsky has an interview with Vegetarian Times where she gives some advice for fellow food photographers on how to best capture the essence of the egg substitute.
1. Keep it clean. A few errant crumbs can be nice, since you don’t want the scene unrealistically immaculate, but you don’t want splatters and splashes all over the place. Wipe the rim of plates and bowls with a towel, and make sure silverware glistens. And don’t clutter up the set with tons of odds and ends.

Comments Off on Rod Stewart Wife Penny Lancaster Pregnancy Threatened By High Mercury Fish
Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster are happily expecting a baby in March of 2011, but the couple’s happiness could have been threatened by fish.
Lancaster is a lover of seafood and had to be counseled by her doctor about the dangers of consuming mercury-laden fish, especially during pregnancy.
“I love fish and I thought that it was healthy without understanding the high mercury levels that fish like tuna, swordfish and halibut can contain,” Lancaster, 39, told Hello! in its latest issue, according to People.
“My doctor said it was unhealthy to have so much mercury in my body, and also for conceiving babies.”
Pescatarian is better than a red meat eater, but mercury levels found in fish can affect brain and nervous system development and the FDA has issued guidelines for groups at-risk for being affected the most–pregnant women, women trying to get pregnant and children.

Comments Off on Tree Hugger Rats Visit Prince Charles’ Garden. Humane Ways To Evict Them.
Prince Charles has opened his home to the London public to host a sustainable living fair, A Garden Party To Make A Difference. But quite a few rodents are into the organic fruits and vegetables he’s grown and are the source of annoyance to the staff at his residence.
According to MSNBC, a source told The Sun the eco-friendly loving rats are having a hard time practicing the art of not over-consuming. “The rats have become more of a problem. There seem to be more — and they are getting bigger. We’ve lost strawberries and our tomatoes got nibbled overnight. It’s all down to the rats.”
No animal lover wants to kill rats with poisonous material or painful traps, but no one wants their yard to be a farmers market for rodents either. What is a humane, eco-friendly way to evict these creatures from your property? Peanut Butter!

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful–Tal Ronnen Challenges Le Cordon Bleu Chefs To Creative Vegetarian Cooking
“It would be great for me to end up at your restaurant and not be served portobello mushrooms with penne pasta.”
—Tal Ronnen, encouraging chefs to get creative with plant based dishes. For some vegetarian patrons, portobello mushrooms and penne pasta is much more creative than the standard “house salad” or veggie burger that you can buy frozen in the grocery store option.

According to the Daily Mail, a sign on the door of the restaurant reads, “VBites is having its end-of-summer holiday from Saturday, September 11. We’ve been working hard and it’s been our pleasure to serve you over the summer. We’d like to thank all our customers and friends and look forward to seeing you again soon when we re-open.”
Does this mean Heather’s business isn’t doing as well as she predicted?

Bob Harper has teamed up with Quaker Oats to give three people an opportunity for some one on one advice from him as well as a pantry stocked full of breakfast food.
From now until October 8, people may visit www.Facebook.com/Quaker or Quakeroats.com to enter the Quaker Amazing Mornings Contest. Three winners will receive a visit from Harper who will counsel on their exercise activities, a two month’s supply of Quaker oatmeal products, plus four weekly visits from a registered dietitian.
“It’s time for Americans to re-prioritize their mornings – and eating a healthy breakfast should be a top priority for both children and adults,” said Harper. “We all know breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day, which is why I’m so excited to work with Quaker to help more Americans jumpstart their morning routines.”

Comments Off on KT Tunstall–Lady Gaga Dress No Different From Wearing Leather
KT Tunstall is the latest celebrity to comment on the Lady-Gaga-Meat-Dress-Saga. Yes, amazingly enough, that is still considered news.
Tunstall says that while she understands why vegetarians and vegans are so upset, Gaga’s dress worn for the cover of Vogue Japan isn’t much different from people wearing leather.
“As soon as I saw it, I thought, what is the difference between that and leather? Animals die needlessly for leather all the time.”
“I haven’t heard a legitimate reason why anyone would be offended by her wearing meat, except for vegans angry about animals being killed, which is fair enough.”
Tunstall, a pescatarian, recently took her own hit of controversy with vegetarians when she ate black pudding, a dish made of congealed pig’s blood.
A little steak on the hips. Pig’s blood to the lips. Can we all agree to aim to stop using animals for human purposes period and call it a day?

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if one of the most popular former presidents of the United States was a spokesperson for the vegetarian and vegan diet? Well, he practically is.
As reported earlier, Bill Clinton has been sticking to a mainly vegetarian diet (he says once in awhile he’ll eat fish, but not very often) since discovering it worked so well for his weight loss before Chelsea’s wedding. In an interview for Yahoo News and the Huffington Post, Clinton brings up a study he read that showed people who followed a vegan diet and put no added cholesterol into their bodies from animal products had some pretty good health outcomes.
“Since 1986, several hundred people who have tried essentially a plant based diet–not ingesting cholesterol from any source–have seen their bodies start to heal themselves,” Bill said.
