“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” – George Bernard Shaw.  Our love and passion for great vegetarian and vegan food pushed us to dream farther and bring out dishes which are not just fresh and healthy but also made with a key ingredient called delicious, the one which appeases to all the senses. We at Walnut [...]

ON THE FIRST WARM NIGHT of the year in Paris, the horse-chestnut trees along the Champs-Élysées are freshly veiled with new leaves. Just off the avenue, at Lasserre, a glamorous old luxury-liner of a restaurant, the elegant and habitually blasé crowd can’t help grinning at the cancan moment this place is famous for. Late in the evening, as many diners [...]

McDonald’s has a weakness, and it’s not just its quarter pounder with cheese. It’s 19-to 30-year-olds, otherwise known as “millennials.” They may be young. They may lack CEO status. But as Blockbuster, Kodak, and Blackberry have discovered, millennials’ collective preferences can make or break a business. Advertising Age obtained a recent internal memo from McDonald’s stating the fast-food giant has [...]

Visit a typical Japanese restaurant in North America, and you’ll find plentiful vegan options—from fresh avocado sushi rolls and hearty soba noodles to exotic seaweed salad and sweet inari (fried tofu pockets stuffed with rice). And as people learn about the pain that fish feel when they are killed for fish-based sushi, sushi chefs are starting to create ever-more new [...]

St. Patrick’s Day is just around corner, and soon Irish and American alike will be looking for ways to douse the world in green. Shamrock-colored beer is a favorite treat for St. Patty’s parties, but there’s nothing green about adding toxic food coloring to some cheap domestic lager.

Whether you’re just dabbling in Meatless Mondays or have gone full-force vegan (perhaps for a New Year’s resolution), the Big Apple’s restaurant scene has plenty to offer. A number of city restaurants focus on options that will please even the most discriminating herbivore. From a chef who makes “candy” from the dirt of her garden to some tasty vegan menu [...]

If you think vegan food only consists of brown rice, lettuce and tofu, you’re wrong. These days, vegan options are far from boring. Before I became a full-on vegan (vegetarian six years ago), I was all about the rich comfort food. Fried chicken. Juicy crab legs. Macaroni and cheese. How could I resist? Turning to a plant-based diet was definitely [...]

It was a warm California evening in the city of West Hollywood, and Kathy Freston was sipping a martini. “Just because you’re a vegan doesn’t mean you don’t want to have fun,” she said, sitting in a booth at a restaurant called Craig’s. “I’m a decadent gal. I want to drink. I want to feel full at the end of a [...]

One of the most celebrated rockstars, Chrissie Hynde, went to VeganBurg’s spanking new 4th outlet in Singapore. Chrissie took a short break from her F1 race gig to shake things up at VeganBurg, where she had a taste of VeganBurg’s lip-smacking burgers. She visited all four VeganBurg outlets in Singapore where she sampled the menu. Fresh from her Singapore Grand [...]

The Washington Post called on readers to point them to their favorite dishes, this time with one major (dietary) restriction: going meat-free. An avalanche of vegan and vegetarian suggestions poured forth via e-mail, on Facebook and Twitter, and via the blog. It turns out, this is what we actually eat: Brownies. Thick, carb-loaded sandwiches. Pizza. Pho. Tacos. Deep-fried cheese. See these and [...]
