Vegetarian Star

“I am very into a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. I love seeking out cool places to eat and buy food that are sourced from farmers and people who love good food. I tend to meet a lot of likeminded people this way and just like when I am travelling I make friends wherever I am, and end up seeing things I would never have found on my own.”

—Helene Joy, “Durham County” and “Murdoch Mysteries” actress on the things she enjoys doing while filming on location.

Tippi Hedren, founder of the sanctuary to 61 lions, tigers and other big cats, was recently on “The View From The Bay” to discuss the Shambala Preserve for cats and animal rights.

Tippi lives on the site of the sanctuary, and although tours are given once a month for a small donation, Tippi insists the animals aren’t there just to be watched and entertain, but it’s there “home.”

“I, along with millions of people are fascinated by the exotic feline,” the mother of actress Melanie Griffith says.

A Humane Society of the United States representative was set to question Domino’s Pizza this week at a shareholder’s meeting on the restaurant’s use of pork sourced from farmers who keep pigs in gestation crates, small enclosures where pregnant female pigs are kept.

Kristine Middleton, corporate outreach manager for the HSUS, was scheduled to address executives at a meeting in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Middleton said that seven states, including Domino’s headquarters of Michigan, have made it illegal to keep pigs in crates.

According to Pizza Market Place, many fast food companies such such as Chipotle, Burger King and Panera are all phasing in the use of gestation crate free pork.

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

If a man had been given the opportunity to write Skinny Bastard, the male component to the best selling vegan diet book by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, Skinny Bitch,  John Joseph would have been the ideal candidate.

His latest book due out May 15, Meat Is For Pussies, appropriately titled as the guide for how to “get fit, kick ass and take names” is meant to shatter the myth that going meatless takes away the manly in anyone with a Y chromosome.

The Dish is Vegetarian has an exclusive excerpt from the book that tells men they can either “continue living like a pussy” or take charge of their health.

If you can get past that episode of Dinner with the Band that had Rufus Wainwright as a guest at the table for a meal of rabbit food (and no, we don’t mean greens), you might be excited to hear he’s a fan of macrobiotic food.

In the New York Post‘s 10 of the Moment article, Wainwright says he likes to frequent Souen on East 13th Street.

“It’s a great place to get macrobiotic food, but the only problem is you get gassy. But it’s cool to stink,” he said.

Can’t smell any worse than fried rabbit legs.

Souen is very vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Since some types of fish are sometimes used in macrobiotic eating, this is a place for pescatarians as well.

Try the homemade seitan dumplings filled with “seitan, chinese cabbage, scallion, shiitake, garlic, and ginger.”

You may stink later, but the food will smell great as you eat it.

A meatless bed and breakfast owner came in last in the UK reality TV show Three In A Bed that lets B&B owners stay at others’ inns and then pay what they consider fair price.

Apparently, some of the other B&B owners may have missed their morning meat.

Andrew Blackall, who owns The Lodge at Avebury, is vegetarian and does not serve meat with his breakfasts.

Blackall’s price of £250 (approximately $383 in U.S. dollars) left the other contestants feeling as if they’d be missing their savings and their sausage.

Mr. Blackwell’s place is near the famous Stonehenge, plus you won’t smell the neighbors’ bacon in the morning.

For a traveling vegetarian, you may very well get what you pay for.

Cornelia Guest has created her own line of vegan cookies.

The actress, author and socialite debuted these in a goodies bag given to attendees at a recent event for the New York Humane Society.

Guest hopes to sell the cookies, made with vegan chocolate and coconut oil, to bakeries, retailers and airports.

And she is really excited about the airline outlet.

“I really want my cookies to be on planes,” Guest said, according to the Wall Street Journal. “People should be able to have a healthy snack in the air.”

The packaging for the cookies reads, “No animals were hurt while making these cookies…I just have a bruises!”

The chocolate chip cookie is complete but Guest is currently trying to perfect another version–oatmeal raisin.

More information about the cookies can be obtained from the website, which currently exists in two different versions, but say the same thing, so that area of the business must still be in development as well.

Either way, CorneliasCookies or CorneliaGuestCookies will get you to the vegan cookie official you need.

Gwyneth Paltrow packs her kids’ lunch boxes with plenty of vegetarian sushi and almond butter and jelly sandwiches.

This was revealed in the latest edition of Goop, the actress’ online newsletter.

According to Gwyneth, veggie sushi is, “A great way to use leftover cooked rice and sneak some extra vegetables into your kid’s diet—not to mention a great way to get rid of those extra soy sauce packages that always seem to accumulate in the kitchen drawer.”

No kidding.

How many times have you thrown away those dozens of soy sauce packages, along with the two dozen more salt and pepper condiments that have hardened since your last visit from Chinese take out?

Be eco-friendly and save money by using them before purchasing similar condiments from the grocery.

Gwyneth’s recipe uses asparagus wrapped inside sheets of Nori and brown rice, but adds you can substitute any vegetable you’d like, including carrots, cucumbers or mushrooms.

Nori makes a great substitute for bread or tortilla wraps and is rich in Iodine and Vitamins A and C.
