Comments Off on Dr. Neal Barnard’s “Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook” A Worthy Rx
The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook
Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM), along with Robyn Webb, has co-authored a cookbook filled with recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts without any animal products whatsoever.
Blog Critics reports Dr. Barnard and Webb use of a lot of curry, an Indian spice, in the 125 recipes that are not heavy on manufactured protein like texturized vegetable protein. Nor will you find mundane ideas for a meal like granola. Try green chile and oyster mushroom crepes for breakfast instead.
The PCRM recommends a vegetarian diet for good health. May the Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook get on every patient’s prescription list, as a vegetarian diet is one of the best ways to fight diseases like diabetes and heart disease that dominate, complicate and burden health care.

Tom Colicchio has seen a lot of interesting meals pass his way during his stint as a Top Chef judge. That’s why it’s incredible he mentioned a vegetarian dish as being one of the most memorable–for a good reason.
Colicchio told TV Guide, “Michael Voltaggio made banana-asparagus risotto for the vegetarian challenge and it was really good. It’s usually the dishes I’m surprised by where I say to myself, “I don’t know how that’s going to work,” and then the chef can pull it off.”
Bananas and rice? How does one pull that off? Maybe with peppers, onions and vegan cheese, as the combination that’s called for in this Banana Risotto Recipe. The asparagus is missing, but that shouldn’t prevent you from taking a 1/2 pound or so, blanching them and throwing them in.

Rudi's Organic Buns
Good Housekeeping has named Rudi’s Organic Buns as the best choice for a whole wheat hamburger bun.
Of course, we know you’ll only be putting veggie burgers between slices of the company’s organic breads, some of which are gluten-free, most of which are also vegan, but there are a few breads–the Honey Sweet Whole Wheat, European Multigrain, Spelt Tortillas and Whole Spelt Tortillas–that contain honey.

“Many people think vegan desserts taste like cardboard, rubber, whole wheat, or nothing at all! This may have been true in old-school vegan cooking, but now the bar has been raised and there are so many great products and techniques that make vegan desserts just as moist and fluffy as those with dairy and eggs.”
—Chloe Coscarelli, vegan chef of chefchloe.com, who won first place and a grand prize of $10,000 on a recent episode of the Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars”, a competition where cupcake bakers compete for a chance to cater for a high profile client.
Coscarelli added that vegan cooking is also easier because you don’t have to worry about “creaming butter and cracking eggs.”
Laist.

The Dalai Lama has criticized the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society for using what he thinks are violent, harassing activities as an attempt to stop whalers.
According to the AFP, His Holiness said, “One time I wrote a letter…(saying) their activities should be stopping,” and added that while he supported their goals, he thinks their manners for accomplishing them should be less aggressive.
Sea Shepherd tactics may annoy, harass and hinder the whalers’ progress, but is their form of activism really considered violent?

Comments Off on Rachael Ray Vegetarian Sloppy Joes With Portobello Mushrooms
Rachael Ray featured vegetarian sloppy joes on her daytime television show, The Rachael Ray Show, today.
Mushrooms are one of the few vegetables that provide a “meaty” texture and feel in the mouth and because of this, many meat eaters are even satisfied when sharing a dish that contain the fungi with vegetarians.
Diced portobellos are smothered in a homemade tangy tomato sauce seasoned with onions, peppers and garlic before being placed between two rolls. Don’t forget to opt for a vegetarian friendly Worcestershire sauce without anchovies.

Comments Off on Miss Scotland Nicola Mimnagh Would Love A Veggie Chow Mein Recipe
Nicola Mimnagh Miss Scotland
The newly crowned Miss Scotland, Nicola Mimnagh, is a 5’11” beauty queen who isn’t afraid to mess up her face.
She’s been boxing for 15 years, a sport she plans to continue during her reign as a way to stay fit between public appearances. One could guess she fills up on vegetarian Chinese food before delivering the punches to her opponent. Mimnagh told The Sun, “I also have a real weak spot in Chinese food. I can’t get enough of vegetarian chow-mein. I’m the takeaway queen.”
Take-out is awesome, but if you’re in the middle of a bean bag punch routine at home, it might be a bit much to make it to the Chinese drive-through, so why not make your own Chow Mein?
