I was as disappointed as the next vegan when I learned that Morningstar Farms had discontinued their Meal Starters "Steak" Strips. But thanks to QuarryGirl, I have learned that the company that Morningstar Farms used as a source for those steak ...

An excellent vegan meal at a non-vegan restaurant

2009-11-02T16:11:25Z

Yesterday was World Vegan Day, so of course I had to veganize a meal at a local non-vegan restaurant! Have I hammered home the point about *asking* enough for you lately? No? Well, then let me tell you another story. After an early evening of...

Today is World Vegan Day

Learn more about it here. How are you celebrating? I ate leftover vegan pizza from Amici's...yay Amici's!! I spent more time flipping through Tal Ronnen's The Conscious Cook. That's about it. What about you?

Missed last night's veg Top Chef, how about you?

2009-10-29T17:53:52Z

I don't normally watch Top Chef. For two reasons, actually: 1. The obvious: Most of what they make, I wouldn't make and won't eat, so why would I want to watch a bunch of people working with materials I find icky? 2. Unlike the other talent-ba...

Three vegan books in the Amazon Top 100

2009-10-29T15:33:26Z

Thanks to Vegan.com for pointing out that vegan books are hot, hot, hot right now :) I have The Conscious Cook and have been perusing it. Haven't cooked from it yet, but isn't half the appeal of cookbooks the photos and descriptions? (Just work ...

Vegan MoFo: New NYC Vegan Spot (at least to me):

2009-10-27T02:43:31Z

Thanks to the Alicia Silverstone video I featured a few days ago, and the fact that I'm in NYC this week, I actually went and tried restaurant #1 on her list: HanGawi. I don't know why, but somehow I was expecting a little hole in the wall. I su...

Vegan MoFo: See what happens when you ask?

2009-10-26T02:58:22Z

Tonight I went to a catered dinner. And as much as you may not want to seem like a pain in the ass to people who are being nice enough to host you to begin with: If you do not ask you will not receive. I emailed and simply gave them a heads up, ...

Vegan MoFo: Why listen to me? Listen to Alicia Silverstone

2009-10-22T23:41:36Z

She posted a very brief video of her favorite places to eat vegan in NYC (where I'm going next week). While she hit one of my faves, Candle 79, she hasn't even scratched the surface of vegan NYC. She knows it too, so part 2 will be coming soon!

Vegan MoFo: An inexplicable policy

2009-10-21T15:02:38Z

Last night I was all set to have dinner with a good friend at a new restaurant. I had always been intrigued by Iberia, a Spanish tapas place in Menlo Park, but hadn't seriously checked it out, because I assumed it wouldn't be veg-friendly. But w...
