celebrating 40
Its no coincidence VTs 40th birthday falls on the same month as Thanksgiving.
Way back in November 1973, Paul Obis and a group of friends in Chicago made the
local TV news simply by celebrating Thanksgiving with a vegetarian feast. When the
next Thanksgiving rolled around, Obis sought a new way to spread the word and
connect with other vegetarians. So he typed up a four-page newsletter, called it
Vegetarian Times, and distributed 300 free copies at area health-food stores.
The rest, as they say, is history. For a look at other notable moments in veg history,
check out The Wayback Machine (p. 48). Then read The Veg Hot List (p. 58) for
insight from chefs, authors, and activists on whats new and whats next.
Meanwhile, Thanksgiving is upon us, and weve got plenty of recipes to make it
memorable. Party Time! (p. 52) features the crowd-pleasing starters, sides, entres,
and desserts that won this years Reader Recipe Contest, and Holiday Glow (p. 66)
offers a complete make-at-home menu from New Yorks beloved Candle Cafe.
Happy Thanksgiving!

CONTRIBUTORS
Lisa Barley, a writer and editor living on
Bainbridge Island, Wash., explored the high
points of veg history in The Wayback
Machine (p. 48).
Who or what inspires you most?
My daughter, who will be 4 in December. Its been
so rewarding to introduce healthy, delicious foods
to her developing palate.
Whats your No. 1 comfort food?
Really good garlic bread.
Whats your fondest food memory?
Cooking with and for my grandma, who was a proud
VT subscriber. She died last year, and I will always
cherish our time together in the kitchen.
Stephanie Birdsong, a Los Angelesbased

illustrator and creative director, provided the
colorful illustrations for The Veg Hot List
(p. 58).
Whats your No. 1 comfort food?
Grilled-cheese sandwiches with collard greens and
caramelized onions.
Whats your favorite kitchen tool?
My 1970s Osterizer blender in avocado. Its a beauty
and makes the best smoothies.
Whats your fondest food memory?
I admit to having fond memories of eating Hostess
fruit pies that our dad would bring home from the
7-Eleven.
Whats your No. 1 pantry staple?

Nutritional yeast. It adds richness and earthiness
while providing much-needed vitamin B12.
Which fresh herb do you love the most?
I try to always have fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage
on hand. Vegan food done well is all about the
seasoning, and what better group of herbs to elevate
veggies, tofu, and tempeh?
Whats your best clear-out-the-fridge dish?
A big stir-fry. I saut veggies with either ginger-miso,
sesame-garlic, or spicy peanut sauce, serve over rice
or soba noodles, and voil!

No need to bait the hook.
Leave those fish in the sea. You dont need to hook up with fish oil to get your
omega fatty acids. We all know that everybody needs omega fatty acids for
overall health, well-being, and brain functions*but if we continue to rely
on fish oil, there will be nothing left to catch. According to the Environmental
Defense Fund, it is estimated that 87% of the worlds fish stocks are at their
breaking point, classified as overexploited or fully exploited.
7 Sources is a complete, all-in-one, omega fatty acid product derived from
seven nutritious land and sea plantsflax, sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, evening
primrose, algae, and coconut oils. It contains DHA & EPA from algae, not fish, so
its sustainable, and it has a natural, nutty taste. So leave the fish in the sea and

THE
P E AK
S E AS O N
BY MATTHEW KADEY, RD
BUTTERNUT
quash
With its smooth texture
and a taste reminiscent of a buttered
sweet potato, this is the go-to gourd
for fall recipes.
TRY THIS
The best butternut squash have skin that is taut and evenly colored, with
no blemishes or soft spots, says Sarah Woutat of Uproot Farm in Princeton, Minn. If
youre at a farmers market, ask the grower if the squash was cureda post-harvest,
10-day process maintaining good air circulation and a temperature between 80F and
85F, which produces sweeter-tasting esh and longer storage potential. If stored in
a dry, cool, well-ventilated place, a cured butternut can last up to four months, Woutat
says. Wrapped tightly in plastic, cut squash can keep in the fridge for up to a week.
PREP
Slice off about 1 inch from each end of the squash, stand upright, and peel
with a sharp vegetable peeler. Cut the squash in half to separate the neck from the bulb
end, then halve the bulb end lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. Dice or slice as needed.
Woutat recommends roasting butternut until tender to intensify its sweet avor. Add
roasted cubes to tacos or frittatas; mash and use as a stuffing for ravioli or a spread for
pizza; or blend into smoothies, dips, or batter for baked goods. Dont toss the seeds,
which can be roasted as a garnish for soups or enjoyed as an out-of-hand snack.
18
Shave raw butternut squash and

carrot into ribbons; toss with sliced
apple, baby spinach, and walnuts;
dress salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
For a seasonal breakfast bowl, stir
together cooked steel-cut oats with
butternut squash pure, sliced pecans,
dried cranberries, maple syrup,
ground axseed, ground cloves, and
vanilla extract.
Simmer together cubed butternut,
veggie broth, coconut milk, red curry
paste, garlic, and ginger; pure with
lime juice, and garnish with roasted
peanuts for a Thai-inspired soup.

What's your skincare

doing to your sensitive skin?
If its causing redness, blotchiness, and irritation maybe its not really for sensitive skin.
Sometimes words can be deceiving. Just because a skincare product says its for sensitive skin
doesnt mean it is. Sensitive skin isnt the same for everyone. Sometimes its about fragrance.
Sometimes color. Sometimes you just dont know.
Sensitive skin needs a higher level of care. And thats the whole idea behind evercln.
evercln says no to those ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin soaps, fragrances, and articial
colors. Instead, we craft every evercln formula to include plant-based, non-GMO ingredients.
The result? All of the good none of the bad just soft, radiant, skin.
Its one thing to say that your skincare is created for sensitive skin its another to say
its clinically proven. evercln really is both. So for naturally healthy skin
plus the assurance of clinical support try evercln and
see a beautiful difference in your skin day after day.

Rhodiola protects cell components from
free radicals and toxins and enhances the
ability of cells to repair and recover, says Gerbarg.
I recommend starting it by age 40 to slow oxidative
damage. The herb likely works via two key
constituents, rosavins and salidroside;
supplements are standardized to an optimal
3 percent and 1 percent, respectively.
RHODIOLA
Suggested doses range between 100 milligrams and

600 milligrams daily; discuss your needs with your doctor.
If effectiveness drops off after some time, a dose increase
may be necessary; those at the maximum dose might take
a few-week holiday before restarting, Gerbarg advises.
Or begin taking rhodiola two weeks before a period of
anticipated stress and taper down afterward.
PLAY IT SAFE
Up to 800 milligrams daily for long periods is considered
safe for healthy people; higher doses arent helpful and
may lead to bruising. Those taking antidepressants should
consult with their physician before taking rhodiola.

THE
IN P ERSON
guitar
hero
Rodrigo y Gabriela may make acoustic
music, but given the propulsive, percussive nature of their sound, its not hard to
believe the Mexican guitar slingers got
their start in a metal band. Their dramatic
and highly charged playing electries
their live shows. We spoke with Gabriela
Quintero during the duos tour in support
of their fth studio album, 9 Dead Alive.
Q When did you rst fall in

love with the guitar?
When I was 15 years old. Ive
always loved a lot of music. Jazz,
all the Latin singers, classical
my mom had a very eclectic
collection. There was a point
when I really wanted to play the
guitar. I took one class, and then
didnt want to play! So I learned
on my own. It feels like the
language I speak is a guitar
language.
Q How would you describe the

kind of music that you and
Rodrigo make?
Because were an acoustic act, we
can explore a lot of different kinds
of music. The element of surprise
should be there all the time. You
have to be very subtle, because if
you push, it evaporates. We have
an anti-formula! Its weird that

were a commercial act.
Q Is plant-based eating
popular in Mexico?
All Mexican food, regardless of
what people say, is plant based. If
you ask a renowned Mexican chef
what three words dene Mexican
food, they will be chiles, beans,
cacao. Veganism is growing in
Mexico; Ive organized a
gastronomic collective in my
hometown, Zihuatanejo. We have
a workshop every month to show
people how to use a lot of the
foods they grow naturally. And we
have an organic market every
Saturday. Were working on a
recipe book right now. The
recipes are based on the foods
that are traditionally eaten in our
country.

VEG
101
BY Alice Feiring
Serving wine at your Thanksgiving feast? Watch what

you pair with the vegetarian roast. Turns out, more than
70 additivesincluding a handful of animal products
can be used to make and process wine. Winemakers
arent required to list those additives on wine labels,
so it can be extra-tricky to know which wines are truly
vegetarian or vegan. Not to worry. Heres how to nd
a veg-friendly vino (and avoid ones that arent).

Used to clarify wine, ning agents attract detritus left over from
fermentation and eventually precipitate out. The issue? Trace
amounts can remain in the nished product, and traditional
ning agents are often not vegan or even vegetarian. Think
gelatin, isinglass (sh bladders), chitin (crustacean shells), egg
whites, and milk proteins. Luckily, more and more winemakers
are using animal-free ning agents such as bentonite clay and
carbonor no ning agents at all. Choosing organic or biodynamic wines does not guarantee theyll be veg-friendly. Your best bet
is to ask winemakers which, if any, ning agents they use.
GO NATURAL
No time to investigate iffy ingredients? Kate
Jacoby, co-owner of Philadelphias Vedge
restaurant, suggests sticking with natural
wines, which are naturally veg: theyre made
with minimal intervention and no ning
agents to clarify them. After all, she says,
why do you need a clear wine? Look for
bottles with the words unned and unltered on the label. Or shop online at stores
such as New Yorks Chambers Street Wines
(chambersstwines.com) and Los Angeless
Domaine LA (domainela.com), which specialize in natural wines and offer mail order.
What do natural wines taste like? Expect
more life and a greater range of avors.

AN OLD FAVORITE GETS A MODERN MAKEOVER
bread pudding
revival
Bread pudding has come a long
way from its humble origins as
a way to use up stale bread. To
nd out how chefs are turning the
gloried casserole into a star menu
attraction, VT went bicoastal. First,
we tapped Wynnie Stein from the
Moosewood Collective in Ithaca,
N.Y., to come up with thoroughly
modern sweet and savory bread

pudding recipes to make at home.
Then we checked in with Sarah
Schulz, owner of Schulzies Bread
Pudding in San Francisco and
Venice, Calif., to nd out how she
concocts chilled dessert versions
that are taking the West Coast by
storm. Their ideas and insights make
it easy to re-create the custardy

There are no mistakes in bread pudding, says Sarah Schulz, who

Use the freshest bread possible for the best nal texture.
There are so many ways to play around with the bread texture.
If you want something aky, go for croissants; something creamy,
go for brioche; something traditional, go for challah.

This elegant side dish mimics beef tartare with slow-roasted tomatoes standing in
for meat. As my knowledge of spices has improved, so has my creativity, Katherine
Adkins says. Ive begun trying to make up recipes as I go, which was the case when
I decided to take a new spin on beef tartare. Roasting the tomatoes gave them a full
avor and the meaty aesthetic I desired while remaining true to the main ingredient.

2 | Combine white balsamic vinegar,
cilantro, and shallots in small bowl.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
3 | Cut tops off tomatoes, and place on

vinegar in small saucepan over mediumlow heat 15 to 20 minutes, or until
reduced to thick sauce.

WHAT ARE THE BEST PLACES TO GET A VEGETARIAN/

VEGAN CULINARY EDUCATION?
ALTHOUGH THIS MIGHT COME AS A SURPRISE, I believe a traditional culinary school
education is a great way to train a chef to prepare plant-based meals. Formal training
and knowing how to prepare meals the majority of the population likes to consume
is a huge advantage in creating plant-based meals that will have mass appeal.

THE ABILITY TO GROW CELLS IN TEST TUBES has given scientists

a new way to predict how irritating a chemical might be if it were to
come in contact with your skin or eyes. Instead of testing chemicals
on rabbits, they can be tested on human skin or eye cells grown in
the lab. At Harvards Wyss Institute, scientists have gone a step
further, putting several different types of human cells into miniature
testing devices, called organs-on-chips, to see how new drugs affect
complex biological systems.
Quantitative structure activity relationships, or QSAR, is a way
to gauge a chemicals dangers based on its molecular structure.
The more a chemicals structure resembles that of a known toxin,
the more likely it is to be poisonous. With the advent of high-speed
computers, this process has become extremely rapid, allowing a
major reduction in the use of animals for chemical testing.

KIDS ARE PUSHING THEIR PARENTS to be more educated about the foods they
eat and to be more open to vegetarian and vegan food. When a teenager
brings vegetarianism to the family table, it creates awareness. Also, veg kids
are no longer the odd ones out. When my kids get together with their friends,
theyre not alone anymore. There are always other veg kids in the group, so
everyone has to adapt.

One of the big challenges I see in general is melt
factor. There is still a way to go to get the nished
menu item right.
As to protein alternatives or mock meats, we are
seeing stable demand, but the growth is in whole
foods with short ingredients lists and creative, fresh
preparations. It really depends on ones personal
path: if you are a newly recovering carnivore, the
mock meats are attractive since they can emulate
avor and textures pretty well. However, if you are
an old hand at vegetarian eating, your path will
probably be taking you toward fresh preparations
of veggies, beans, and supergrains. The good news
in all of it is that people are learning to eat in a way
that is good for themselvesand the planet.

killing elephants and rhinos in Africa. In the last few years
it is estimated that about one elephant was killed every

15 minutes. Just for their tusks. Even tiny tusks are dug
out of juvenile elephants. All this, of course, is because
of the very high price fetched by ivory. And rhino horn,
which is much scarcer, is worth more than gold. There
are campaigns to improve the situation on the ground
in Africa, strengthen anti-poaching units, conduct aerial
surveyseven employ drones. Campaigns are also
targeting the buyers. But the real problem is combatting
corruption.
There has been much research into animal intelligence,
particularly since it was shown that crows are able to
make tools to obtain a food reward. But what has really
captivated me is the nding of octopus intelligence. In
particular, an octopus who lived at the New England
Aquarium was able to recognize a young volunteer the
octopus disliked. After they had not seen each other for
three months, the octopus squirted the volunteer with

water. Also in the marine world, it is now known that
lobsters are intelligent, and that they, and sh, denitely
feel pain.
I am utterly horried to see that two American
companies, Virginia-based Intrexon and Florida-based
Altor BioScience, have been granted patents by the
European Patent Office in Germany for genetically
modied chimpanzees. Chimpanzees are our closest
relatives. And not only is their DNA almost the same
as ours, but they have intellectual abilities we once
thought unique to humans. They have vivid and distinct
personalities. And they have emotions similar (perhaps
the same) as those we call happiness, anxiety, fear, and
grief. They are capable of true altruism. The rst of the
patents granted is being challenged by animal rights
groups in Germany.
When I was in Bali recently I learned about the project
to rescue the Bali Starling from extinction. At the start
there were only ve individuals believed left in the wild.
But luckily some were being bred in captivity. I met
Bradley and Debbie Gardner and Mehd Halaouate, the
people responsible for the Begawan Foundations captive
breeding program, and visited the birds in their aviary.
And I was honored to take part in the release of two birds.

WHICH CITIES ARE THE FASTEST-GROWING

VEG HOT SPOTS?
@LOS ANGELES
This city is rapidly reaching the point where vegan food is mainstream,
thanks to restaurants like Crossroads Kitchen, Gracias Madre, Sage, and
M.A.K.E. You may think grabbing a veg bite in L.A. is hard since its so spread
out, but with nearly 500 HappyCow listings within a 15-mile radius, youre
bound to nd someplace nearby.
@BERLIN, GERMANY
Being vegan in Berlin is a breeze: its home to the worlds rst vegan grocery
chain, launched in 2011, as well as an entire block known as The Vegan
Avenue. From sophisticated dining at Lucky Leek to choosing from more
than 100 pizzas at Szy Veg, the all-vegan pizzeria, theres something for
everyone in Berlin.
@TEL AVIV, ISRAEL
In recent years, Israel has seen more and more people ditching meat, due
in part to the work of animal rights activists such as Gary Yourofsky and
Tal Gilboa. Popular chains like The Vegetarian Shawarma and Buddha
Burgers make it easy to eat veg, and there was even a campaign to persuade
Dominos Pizza to add a vegan option!

Green Eggs and Yam Toasts

Mustard greens are tender and dont need

long cooking, but sauting them briey
softens their sharp edge. Slice the baguette
at a very sharp angle to create long toasts
for this recipe. On smaller toasts, the eggs
make a nice hors doeuvres.
1 cup plus 2 Tbs. plain non-fat
yogurt, divided
4 Tbs. chopped fresh mint, divided
2 tsp. white balsamic vinegar
8 long whole-grain baguette slices
4 -inch-thick round slices
peeled yam
1 pinch salt
2 Tbs. butter, divided
2 green onions, chopped ( cup)
2 oz. packed chopped mustard
greens (2 cups)
6 large eggs

2 | Whisk together 1 cup yogurt, 3 Tbs.
mint, and vinegar in small bowl. Season
with salt and pepper, if desired; set aside.
3 | Coat bread slices on both sides with
cooking spray, season with salt and
pepper (if desired), and arrange on baking
sheet. Bake 8 minutes, or until crisp. Cool.
4 | Meanwhile, stack yam slices, and cut
crosswise into -inch-wide sticks. Coat
non-stick skillet with cooking spray, and
add yam, cup water, and salt. Bring

to a simmer over medium heat. Cover,
and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until yam
is tender. Transfer yam to small bowl
using slotted spoon; boil off any
remaining water.
5 | Melt 1 tsp. butter in same skillet
over medium heat. Add green onions
and remaining 1 Tbs. mint, and saut
1 minute. Mix in mustard greens, and
saut 2 minutes, or until greens are

6 | Whisk together eggs and remaining
2 Tbs. yogurt in medium bowl; season
7 | Melt remaining 1 Tbs. butter in same
skillet over medium heat. Pour butter into
egg mixture, and whisk to combine.
Spread vegetables evenly on bottom of
skillet, and pour egg mixture over top.
Cook undisturbed 30 to 40 seconds. As
sections of top edge become opaque and
begin to set, push each set section toward
center using heat-proof spatula. Continue
to push eggs from edge toward center
2 minutes, or until eggs are mostly set but
still very moist. Remove from heat. Stir,
and let sit a few seconds.

alternatives
Chinese mustard greens, aka gai choy,

look like a large head of romaine lettuce
or napa cabbage, but share the same
horseradish-like bite of the more common
curly mustard greens. To use gai choy in
place of curly mustard greens in recipes, be
sure to trim away the thick center stems,
and cook the leaves a few extra minutes.
For salads, opt for baby gai choy or mizuna,
a delicate Japanese mustard plant.

BUDS
What are
the BFFs of the

food world?
Here, chefs
and other
foodies share
their favorite
culinary
pairings.
PEANUTS &
POMEGRANATES
As a kid, I adored peanut
butter and jelly, but only on
toast, never plain bread, as
even then I thought its
sweetness needed the slight
bitterness of the toast for
balance. Fast forward to the
mid-1990s, when I found
myself dining alone at the
Heathman Hotel in Portland,
84
Ore., a city Id never visited

before. I was feeling a bit
out of my element, so I was
amazed to then feel comfort
and familiarity wash over me
upon my rst bite of an elegant
if unusual salad course. I burst
out laughing the moment
I realized that the salads
pomegranate seed and
crushed peanut accents were

combining on my palate to
create a near-perfect replica of
my favorite childhood avors!
My chef-husband and
co-author, Andrew
Dornenburg, and I have happily
experimented with the
combination in dips,
marinades, sauces, and stews,
where the tart fruitiness of
the pomegranate cuts through
the peanuts earthy richness.
Blended with garlic, parsley,
soy sauce, and peanut or
sesame oil, the pairing of
peanut butter and
pomegranate molasses makes
a delicious marinade for tofu.
Cook down the duo with winter
squash into a thick stew, and
youve got a wonderful
accompaniment to chickpeas,
eggplant, and mushrooms, as
well as seitan or tempeh.
The combination is delicious
in both savory and sweet
iterationsfrom grain salads
to smoothiesbut to me, the
avor is always PB&J all
grown up!
