Guy's Quinoa

How much do you love a Guy Fieri clip? SO MUCH.

Get ready for the most descriptive yet still entirely vague instruction on how to cook quinoa, and then confession-cam-style backpedalling whether the vinaigrette is technically really a vinaigrette. LOVE. Seriously, Guy Fieri can literally do anything or almost nothing and it's still some of the most captivating food television out there...

The most heartfelt thank you to the talent behind Guy's Big Bite, The Food Network & Scripps for sharing it all with us.

Bobby's Creamy Thai Salad

I finally realized who Bobby Deen reminds me of. Kenny Powers. As if I couldn't love him any more...
This dish is sweet & spicy with textures galore. Veganizing honey in any recipe is super easy! Try maple syrup, agave or even corn syrup.
Sincerest thank you to the Deens, Scripps & Food Network for the healthy and important education that is this Not My Mama's Meals clip.

Anne's Portobello & Squash

"Don't be radicchio."
How phenomenal is Anne Burrell?
Remember when she was running around behind Mario Batali on Iron Chef America? And now she is teaching us technique & kitchen lingo. Glorious.
Learn how to fan a mushroom and dress your salad (very very simply).
And the cutest nickname for acorn squash rings, ever.
Thanks to Scripps, Food Network & Mario Batali for sharing with us the joy that is Anne Burrell cookery!

Trisha's Thai Salad

Just try and watch this clip without immediately making a salad. It's impossible. (I had to.. and I never make 'em.)
Sure the dressing ingredients are similar to cake (you'll see) - but at least everything else is literally just vegetables and legumes. All good!
Also, that lasagna they serve it with? It's vegan! 100% totally completely: http://youtu.be/IKv6sopE8J0

Thanks to Trisha Yearwood, Ellen Rakieten, Garth Brooks, Scripps & Food Network for this incredibly refreshing food show. Seriously. Healthy, unique, smart and simple. Thank you!

Giada's Farro

This recipe is ridiculously quick and easy. But now we know how to cook (and pronounce) a new grain: Farro!
I'll take this quickie over the same old rice/pasta recipes any day...
Thanks to Scripps, Food Network and Giada De Laurentiis for cooking outside the (grain) box!

Kelsey's Peanut Sauced Slaw

How much do you want to dip everything into that peanut sauce? Those summer rolls sitting right there? DIP.
Can I add mint to that slaw? Yes? Bless.
And thank you to Scripps, Kelsey Nixon & Cooking Channel for this cute lil accidentally vegan clip!

Guy's Watermelon Taco

Put Guy Fieri in the Good Housekeeping test kitchen and you'll get both an accidentally vegan taco AND his way to get kids to eat new fruits and veg.
As if you didn't love him enough already.
A huge thank you to Good Housekeeping, Hearst & Rosemary Ellis for this joy!

Martha's Creamy Bulgur

There's no way you've seen a red pepper used like this before.
Nope. So clever.
Plus: Lentils! Colorful Veg! Fresh Herbs! Cracked Wheat(bulgur)! A vegan's dream.
Thanks Maggie Vosguerichian from Westport's The Organic Market for sharing her vegan secrets with Martha.

Jamie & Ryan's Smash Salad

Cooking demos are usually missing this button at the end: Ryan Seacrest telling Jamie Oliver to feed him. Love.
& I say this sometimes when posting a salad clip, but really, truly, you've never ever made a salad like this before.
Thanks to the Olympics & NBC for making this beautiful smorgasbord possible!

Dave's Breadsticks

Pizza Dough from the grocery store! An Accidentally Vegan treasure. 

And Margaret, I see you with your hand up while Dave says "ladies first" and gives the other little girl the garlic brush. Bless your heart.

Frugal Gourmet's Garlic Salad

How to do garlic. Inside and out. Also, possibly the 2 best food tv quotes ever?
"I've never tried this dish. Bill just described it to me."
"I'm choking to death not on the garlic, but the cracker. It wasn't the garlic."
Big garlicky thanks to StickyTape TV for uploading this Accidentally Vegan PBS gem!

Alton's Black Beans

Ok, it's easier than beans(!) to just open a can than to boil them yourself. But did we know they can be flavored as they boil, just like a stock? Will we reconsider? Also, love that this may contain one of the first sightings of the Alton Brown Twitter post-it doodle (1:32).
So much love and appreciation to Scripps & Mr. Brown for the perfection that is Good Eats!

Sweet Onion Dressing

Store brands are the best. Period. Accidentally Vegan creamy salad dressing? Are you kidding me? Like the label says: GOLD.
A lifetime of Xo's to The Co-op and all of the wonderful people in and around it. What a perfect place.

Mario's Fettunta

I love when audiences burst into ooohs and ahhhhs for the most random thing - here it's literally for the sound of crusty, crunchy bread being sliced! Love. It.
Fettunta means "Greased Slice" - how can you not love Mario Batali?
I can't thank ABC & The Chew enough for consistently pumping out heart-healthy veg options. Thank you!

Giada's Sweet Savory Salad

Giada De Laurentiis made a salad. Now I've seen plenty of salad, I love sweet & savory, but for some reason this guy worries me! Someone please make this and let us know how it goes?

Bobby's Crunchy Avocado

Y'know those crumbly chip crumbs at the bottom of your bag? They ARE A GIFT. Now you have every excuse to make Bobby Flay's vegan bowl of fun. Dare I suggest adding a bit of corn? Ya got a complete meal y'know. No more wonderin what's for dinner.

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.

Guy's Vegan Invention

BEST Accidentally Vegan clip yet.
You'll see.

Daphne's Grilled Salad

Roasted vegetables are the best.
BEST.
You can't go wrong with a little oil, salt & pepper, and that grilling / roasting goodness. Seeing these guys rave over the deliciousness will make you a believer.
Also, who else suddenly wants to make a balsamic glaze?
