Vegan musician Billie Eilish and her vegan mother, Maggie Baird, recently appeared on plant-based cooking show New Day New Chef (NDNC) on Amazon Prime Video. The shows special season focuses on the work of vegan nonprofit initiative Support + Feed, which was created by Baird to support local vegan restaurants in Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia while supplying food to childrens charities, homeless and domestic shelters, and family and senior centers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of the eight-episode series, host Jane Velez-Mitchell and Baird welcome chefs in California who are supplying food to the needy during the pandemic, including Mollie Engelhart of Sage Bistro, Ron Russell of SunCafe, Tara Punzone of Pura Vita, and Angela Means-Kaaya of Jackfruit Caf. The show also includes appearances by Eilish and her musician brother Finneas.

New Day New Chef debuted on Amazon Prime Video in the United States and United Kingdom earlier this year with an aim to dispel the false notion that removing meat and dairy from ones diet is a sacrifice.

We are so grateful that NDNC not only wanted to feature the incredible chefs and restaurants in Support + Feed but also to let us share our missionfeeding nourishing plant-based meals to people in need, to spread awareness, and to ultimately help the planet, Baird told VegNews.

It's time to get Amped Up, and we're talking healthy ways of eating. We're exploring veganism with Letoiya Jones.

MACON, Ga. I want people to know that vegan food is not just rabbit food or just salads, says self-proclaimed vegan Letoiya Jones.

Jones has been a practicing vegan for the past four years. She decided to try the lifestyle after having issues digesting food including meat and fish, and she says the changes shes made in the kitchen have paid off and the transition was pretty easy.

Jones says, I had mentally been preparing myself for months, so once I decided to do it, I was OK, and when I did it four years ago, there werent as many substitutions like they have now. I still eat vegan junk, but mainly, I eat fruits and vegetables.

Processed vegan foods like Oreo cookies are Jones' favorite, but as a true vegan, that means she doesnt eat any animal flesh or byproducts like milk, cheese, or eggs, so shes decided to take things into her own hands -- literally, creating delicious and nutritious meals via her business, Southern Garden Kitchen.

Im excited about continuing to cook and continuing to change the stigma of veganism that everything is so restricted, explains Jones. I like to think of it as, 'Think of what you can eat and not what you cant eat,' and its a lifestyle and not a diet. It's truly a lifestyle, so I look forward to changing peoples minds.

Jones says her new way of eating gives her more energy and has helped her lose more than 100 pounds along her journey. If youre interested in giving veganism a try,hop on over to Facebook and check out Southern Garden Kitchen with Letoiya Jones to get you started.

AMPED UP: Veganism a healthy eating option - 13WMAZ.com

Snickers lovers rejoice! You can now make ooey-gooey, vegan frozen Snickers bars filled with nougat and caramel and coated in chocolate!

I actually love the taste of brown rice syrup, but you wont find it in my recipes very often. The main reason for this is because it is very sticky. And so I find it a little difficult to work with. I tend to reach out for maple syrup most of the time as its a lot smoother and works well in most desserts. Brown rice syrup is excellent if trying to create a sticky caramel type texture. So it works really well for these bars. I am going to start using it more often in the future because it has a beautiful flavor.

For the healthier eaters, keep in mind, this recipe is very high in fat. I was afraid it would be too heavy and would make me nauseous but it was actually delicious! I was very impressed with how it turned out. The only thing I did wrong was that I was too lazy to coat the bars in chocolate properly. I was in a rush and tried to pour the chocolate on top instead. Please do not ever do this! They turned out looking like monsters. I photographed the only two bars that didnt look like giant poops. I just hate dipping in chocolate though! Its so messy and time-consuming. I havent found chocolate dipping techniques I am happy with but I will persevere.

The recipe is vegan, fructose-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. Enjoy!

Putting together an all-vegan wine list was challenging for Shawn Weed, but his effort paid off.

Weed, who is the wine director and owner of The Acre restaurant, worked with sommelier Gabriel Ballantine to develop the list, which recently received a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award.

(Ballantine ) took interest in what I was doing and said, Hey, let me see if I can learn about this with you and we can work together, and he was tremendous help, Weed said. We just kept hitting the ground and seeing what we can find, and this year around New Years we had a pretty darn good selection.

ADVERTISEMENTSkip

................................................................

Weed submitted The Acres impressive vegan wine list to Wine Spectator, a magazine that focuses on wine and wine culture. Wine Spectators Restaurant Awards recognize restaurants whose wine lists offer interesting selections, are appropriate to their cuisine and appeal to a wide range of wine lovers, according to its website.

Im pretty proud of it, and Im still in a little bit of shock that we won a national award for this, Weed said. In the whole world, as of last year, there were only seven restaurants in the world that got wine awards that were either vegetarian or vegan. Thats also why I was, like, I dont think I stand a chance. Some of these restaurants are in Europe and really amazing places, and to think a little restaurant of 48 seats in New Mexico could get an award like that is pretty, like, holy cow to me. I dont really have very eloquent words to express how it feels, but its pretty awesome.

Offering vegan wines at reasonable prices was taken into consideration.

More than half of our wines are what I would consider very affordable, Weed said. I mean 80% are less than about $50. If you go to a nice restaurant, youre going to pay $10 for a glass of decent wine. You know, here, we are passing that same thing forward. It should also match what we do at The Acre, which is making things accessible and affordable, whether its our food or our wine

It was important to Weed to allow diners vegan wine options, because The Acre caters to those with vegan and vegetarian diets.

Weve ended up getting some wines in there that are super-sparse, like we have a K Vintners (The Hidden Syrah), which got 99 points, Weed said. Its the most expensive wine on our list, but to know there are vegan wines that are getting above 99 points is just incredible. It goes along with what we do in the community for vegetarians and vegans, but also I think its just something that people should be allowed to make their own choices about.

It may not be widely known that animal product are used in the production of most wines.

I think the general population doesnt know that there are animal products in wine. I think that really shocks people, Weed said. I know when I first found out about it, I was just kind of floored that they would do it that way. And now that I own the restaurant, its become a passion of mine to sort of publicize the fact that there are winemakers out there that are fantastic that are doing this in a vegan, responsible way, animal cruelty-free way.

Weed said animal product, such as fish bladders or egg whites, are added to remove cloudiness in wine.

The process of making cloudy wine not cloudy is called fining, Weed explained. When you do fining, basically youre adding something to it thats going to pull all those tiny particulates to it so that you can basically scoop it out or separate it, and then you have this perfectly crystal-clear product.

Many vegan wine makers use clay to clear the cloudiness.

One of the other common ways they can do it that does make it vegan is by using clay deposits, and I believe the word is bentonite clay, and thats the most common vegan way to do it, Weed said. Its basically minerals to extract that clout, and it doesnt change the flavor, either, and so I think its a more responsible way. Since youre not losing any flavor or gaining any flavor, I think is the better way to do it.

Its quickly becoming common knowledge that one of the best ways to reduce your environmental impact and live a more sustainable life is to reduce or cut out your meat consumption. There are a number of ways the meat industry negatively affects the environment: Immense water usage, greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation the list goes on and on. And many people are increasingly unwilling to support an industry that treats animals in such cruel, inhumane ways. Based on this, interest in veganism is on the rise. Even if committing 100% to veganism isnt on the table, theres been a rapid growth in high-quality vegan food products in recent years, recreating popular dishes like pizzas and burgers with vegan-friendly ingredients, showing that you can literally have your delicious vegan cake and eat it, too. Reducing meat consumption and replacing popular dishes with plant-based options is a great stepping stone to living a more sustainable, healthy life, for you and the planet, and these are the best vegan popular food products you should make sure to stock your fridge with.

One of the biggest conundrums for non-vegans considering a switch is eggs: So many recipes require them, so many delicious dishes are egg-based, and yet vegans dont eat eggs due to the exploitative nature in which mass-market eggs are produced. Well, JUST Egg has stepped up to fill that egg-shaped void in your fridge. The brands vegan eggs are made from 100% plant-based proteins like mung beans, as well as other vegetables and seasonings like turmeric and carrots to add flavor and natural coloring. Available as a liquid for scrambled eggs or as a folded patty thats perfect for breakfast sandwiches, the taste and texture are pretty darn close to the real thing, feeling and tasting like actual eggs. And when combined with other ingredients for omelets, sandwiches, and other recipes, JUST Eggs proves that it really can fill that egg-shaped hole, in terms of utility, flavor, and enjoyment. And, since JUST Eggs is cholesterol-free, its also great for non-vegans looking to cut their cholesterol intake.

One of the first companies to wake the general public up to the fact that vegan replacements of their favorite meals could actually be good or even better than the real thing, Beyond Meat has continued growing and making an impact since its launch in 2009. The LA-based company focuses on creating vegan-meat products like burger patties, sausages, ground beef, and more, using plant-based protein, fat, minerals, carbohydrates, and water to make their faux-meats. Their proteins consist of mung beans, fava beans, peas, and brown rice; fats are sourced from the likes of coconut oil, cocoa butter, and canola oil; minerals like salt, iron, calcium, and potassium chloride are added; and then extracts of beet and apple juice and natural flavors re-create that meaty taste and look we love so much. It all comes together to create the ultimate vegan-friendly meat products.

In veganism, milk is a no-go. Almond milk is insanely bad for the environment. And does anyone actually like soy milk? So oak milk is up to bat as the next vegan-friendly dairy alternative and it looks like its gonna be around for a while. For one thing, it actually tastes good; silky, flavorful, balanced, and robust. And for another, its much better for the environment, requiring much less water to make than almond milk and producing fewer greenhouse gases during its production process. There are many oat milk brands out there, but Oatly is consistently touted as the best of the best and has even been given the unofficial-official stamp of approval from people who have to work with and worry about the taste of milk every day: Baristas. Baristas everywhere are so enamored with Oatly that they even made an Oatly Barista edition, so you know its the good stuff.

A common refrain youll hear from people asked about veganism is, I could never give up cheese! With Miyokos, you dont have to, and you honestly wont miss the real deal. There are many excellent plant-based creameries coming to market, but Miyokos rises about the competition with the impeccable flavor and mouthfeel of its imitation-dairy cheeses. The brand also has one of the most diverse product lines around, with the highlight being its line of artisan, European-inspired cheese wheels. Aesthetically pleasing for cheese plates and charcuterie boards alike, the line features classics like herbs de Provence, chive-encrusted, and aged, with the exact smell, taste, and appearance youd expect from each. Miyokos also makes vegan mozzarella, cream cheese, and butter, and has new, upcoming products like cheddar and pepper jack. So fear not, cheese-lovers; Miyokos will make a convert out of you.

Who didnt love chicken nuggets as a child and who doesnt still enjoy the occasional nugg-indulgence now? But its widely known that fast food and mass-produced chicken nuggets are just plain bad for you, and the poor chickens whose meat is used for chicken nuggets are often treated horribly. So how can you get your nugget fix without supporting such an awful industry? Now theres Nuggs. These non-chicken nuggets are made using a pea-protein base, along with different ingredients and seasonings to create that perfect crispy coating and tender, chewy interior we all know and love. They certainly look as mouthwatering as any fast-food chain nugget, and the internet raves about the flavor and texture. So dont be chicken, as the brands slogan says: If youre a nugget lover, get on the Nuggs train.

Dedicated to elevating the simple frozen dinner to something thats actually good for you and delicious, Amys Kitchen was one of the trailblazers of the organic food movement and began making food for the vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan crowds long before it was a thing. So the company really knows its stuff, especially in the frozen pizza department. So youre looking for vegan frozen zas to throw in the freezer, give one of its ten kinds of vegan pizzas a try. There are classics like plain cheese, margarita, and pepperoni, as well as more inventive ones that are loaded with veggies and vegan meats. And Amys also has tons of other products as well, like burritos, bowls, pastas, and more.

Just because youre now a vegan (or trying to eat less meat) doesnt mean that your breakfast plate has to be bacon-less. Making a worthy vegan-bacon that is comparable to the real thing is a lofty goal, but Lightlife, a plant-based meat company, has the formula down. Its Smart Bacon is fantastically crunchy and the bacon flavor is pretty much spot-on. Plus, as its plant-based, its so much better for you, with no nitrates and no cholesterol. Nothing will ever top real bacon, but we all gotta make sacrifices for a healthier us, a healthier planet, and healthier, happier pigs, so you can feel good about bringing home THIS bacon.

Tofu is a staple of any vegan or vegetarian diet; it doesnt contain any animal products and its incredibly versatile, suitable for cooking in a lot of different dishes, so its a fantastic meat substitute. Trader Joes has tons of awesome vegan options (some intentionally vegan, others happy accidents), and its tofu selection is the tops. In addition to plain, the brand also has reheatable meals featuring tofu as the protein, and their Sriracha-flavored Tofu is a real kick in the pants, full of flavor and very filling. The flavor and texture of all its tofus are excellent, so its a great introduction to the world of tofu if youre just diving in.

In collaboration with North Coast Organics, the Grateful Dead have launched a line of deodorant, yes deodorant. It might seem off-brand, but for the rock legends who were long labeled as hippies, a vegan line of deodorant is kind of fitting.

With the band's iconic thunderbolt on the packaging, the deodorant comes in five different scents: Skull & Roses (lavender, rose), Sunshine (blood orange, bergamot), Workingman's (cedarwood, juniper), Timber (Douglas fir, sage) and Unscented.

All are handmade in small batches, using 100% natural, vegan, edible ingredients, according to a news release.

"I have been a Dead Head since 1999," North Coast Organics CEO Nathan Morin said in a statement. "The music and spirit of the Grateful Dead have influenced my company's core principles of service, veganism, and organic agriculture."

"The Grateful Dead have inspired us to stay true to our main mission of social responsibility. We took care in creating special oil blends that reference the Grateful Dead's music," Morin said.

The band's legacy manager and archivist David Lemiuex said the line of deodorant aligns with the Deadheads' "love of the world around us."

"North Coast Organics lives and functions as we do, with an awareness that the future's here, we are it, and we need to take care of the planet and ourselves," Lemiuex said.
