It’s not often I post here anymore. I started a new gig as senior editor for Ecorazzi.com which gives me very little spare blogging time. It’s worth it though. I love what I’m doing and it has tremendous reach. But I’m back to share my experience with juicing. After watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead [...]
Editor’s Note: Please welcome guest blogger Sharyn Glowatz to Livin Veg! Just 5 years ago I was a meat eating, no cooking fool. The most impressive thing I could muster up in the kitchen was a cheese omelette with toast. My last serious attempt at cooking a meal had resulted in a grease fire that [...]
It’s day thirteen of not having any gas for my stove. I haven’t been able to cook. My kitchen has become a foreign place. I thought I’d share with you the recipes I’ve been looking at online but have been unable to make. I shall be cooking up a storm as soon as my gas [...]
This week, I’ve had to be especially creative when it comes to cooking. The gas in our building was shut off due to a gas leak. I haven’t been able to use my stove since Friday. For me, that’s torture. But some good has come out of it. I’ve gotten to be better friends with [...]

You can watch Bittman [...]
The mac and cheese recipes in all my vegan cookbooks are so elaborate. But to me, mac and cheese should be a fast meal. Comfort food that can be whipped up in 15 minutes. But in the past without having a good melting cheese, cookbooks had to go crazy putting together 10 ingredients just to [...]
Ever wonder how Tofurky compares to Field Roast or to that ever odd food Quorn? The American Dietetic Association put together a chart comparing various vegetarian Thanksgiving alternatives. For those of you who may not know, the AMA is the most trusted voice on nutrition and they have repeatedly reported that a vegetarian/vegan diet is [...]
We all come home from work/school some days feeling completely exhausted and hungry. You’d love a fancy vegan meal from your favorite cookbook but the idea of spending more than ten minutes on something (especially since you’re about to lash out at the person closest to you due to your hunger and bad mood) is [...]
There are a variety of awesome looking vegan books that have just been released into the market. (Just in time for the holidays!) Here is a little round up. Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer (The same guy who wrote Everything is Illuminated. This book made Natalie Portman switch from vegetarian to vegan. I also [...]
Last Friday on her show, Ellen had a cooking session with her personal cook, Roberto Martin. And of course because Ellen is vegan, everything he makes is vegan. He showed everyone how to prepare a super simple meal with Celebration Roast, mashed potatoes, roasted veggies and a red wine reduction. I’ve never ever made a [...]
