Gordon's Butter Beans

Butter Beans! Eggplant! Mint!
The most gloriously underrated vegan ingredients done right by Gordon Ramsay. Hold on to your hats; some serious vegan food porn coming right up.
Sincerest thank you to Chef Ramsay and Channel 4 for the accidentally vegan recipe!

Rachael's Eggplant Schnitzel

Vegan cooking will make you realize how many of the tastes & flavors you've loved actually come from everything but the meat. I once had a slice of tofu prepared like schnitzel and it even had the same mouthfeel as the veal schnitzel I'd had as a kid.

Can we talk about how eggplant is underrated!? It can be thick and creamy, or chewy and meaty, or thin and crisp. It's endless.

The most sincere thank you to Rachael Ray, Scripps & her incredibly clever team for some of the most creative and healthy recipes in food television.

Rachael's Kuri Curry

Food television at its best. Use ingredients we are hesitant to try cooking (Kuri, that's you, I'm sorry). Then make a healthy, easy-to-follow dish using a lot of ingredients we know how to handle (canned tomatoes, I'm lookin at you).
Bonus geniusness of roasting squash in the oven separately so that you get some caramelization and crunchy edges on there. Yes! Yes!
The most sincere thank you to Rachael Ray & her team, Scripps & Cooking Channel for this solid example of vegan-friendly food tv perfection.

Rachael's Quinoa Peppers

Rachael Ray teaches us how to cook quinoa with her adorable mug as a measuring vessel. Maximum loveliness.
Did you know 1 cup dry quinoa yields 4 cups cooked!? Do you also just wanna throw some olives in there? Ya, me too. Maybe even raisins and nuts.. I swear I can see the olives in her finished peppers.. A food-wish hallucination. Thanks so much to Scripps & Food Network for the culinary class that is Rachael Ray!

Martha's Rigatoni

What's more fun than a clip taken completely out of context? 

-Martha says this beautiful, elegant eggplant dish is perfect for Super Bowl Sunday.

-An abundance of twins. 

-Guest chefs, the Carro brothers, randomly wearing name tags. 

Etc.

A lifetime of thanks to Martha Stewart for always bringing accidentally vegan delights!

Martha's Chickpeas & Eggplant

Olivier Baussan prepares a recipe from his cookbook "Flavors of the Mediterranean" with a woman whom I assume is Sharon Stone moonlighting as a French translator/cook/assistant.

Mario's Caponata

Ok, there's honey - but this is one of the SIMPLEST veganizations ever. There are many other sticky, sweet substances that don't involve bees. Like agave, maple syrup and love.
Also, learn about fennel pollen, cause Mario Batali's full of bonus info.

Alton's Eggplant

If you're gonna learn how to make Baba Ghanoush from anybody, make it ALTON BROWN.
He will also tell you the difference between a boy eggplant and a girl eggplant because this is Good Eats and it's the best.
