Vegan Is Hip

What are your favorite Hollywood celebrities eating these days. Odds are it isn't meat. It seems that both  SoCal or Southern Californian people and restaurants are not that into any food that had a heart beat.It's all about healthy and compassionate eating which is better.

Veganism in La La Land is the subject of an article in today's New York Times Dining section. The piece written by Dining regular , Jeff Gordinier, tells about how many of Los Angeles' trendy restaurants are simply eschewing meats. It makes sense for the area, considering it is chock full of diet conscious movie and TV stars.An all veggie based diet with no dairy is a slimming one - perfect for those Hollywood types who have to watch their weight. It is a healthy one too, as many celebs are finding out. Eat vegan and lower the risk of heart disease and cancer along with just generally feeling better.

LA Chefs are getting just as   creative as their New York counterparts. One , whipped up a vegan chicken parm for talk show host , Ellen DeGeneres. Chef Craig Susser of the famed Dan Tana's  complied with a Gardein patty, a soy based sub. Another chef , Quinn Hatfield of the restaurants that bears his names has come up with a parsnip bacon.which is just thinly sliced baked parsnip strips coated in olive oil and sea salt. These chefs are challenged because a strictly vegan menu has absolutely no meat or dairy. It can be hard to create creamy sauces and rich flavors without the usual butter, cream and cheese. Yet they manage and have gotten quite a following.

LA may be the hub of the entertainment world however it;s also becoming the hub of the celebrity vegan world as well. Go to any restaurant and discover good for you meals with plant based ingredients. You may also see a few of your favorite celebs chowing down as well.
