Dear Food Network,
As I was watching Giada on the Food Network searing up big slabs of baby animals, I thought to myself, “Why don’t they have a vegan cooking show?” Now, I am by no means vegan, but it seems like there would be a market for it. They have a show for people who like Italian (Giada), people who like to grill (Bobby), man-size meals (Guy). Hamptons, high society food (Ina), healthy food (Elie), and for the good southern girl, they have Paula Deen. It just stands that they would have a show for people who choose the vegan lifestyle. Maybe they could have a couple of dishes for people with food allergies as well (wheat, peanuts, etc.). I’ve noticed more and more, over the years, I find vegan recipes on the web that I bookmark because they look so yummy! So come on, Food Network, get to it!
(Edit: I went to FoodNetwork.com to make a suggestion and I was presented with – “Food Network appreciates your interest in suggesting ideas, but we accept series and specials proposals only from television production companies with national or major market production credentials.”)

Awesome! Thanks for doing that…such a shame in their response. But maybe if enough people bug them about it, they may get the message and get one of our vegan goddesses – Isa Chandra Moskowitz or Dreena Burton – to host it. Heck, I’d even be willing, but nobody know who I am. I use to love the Food Network, but then couldn’t take it once I became vegan with all the dead flesh flounced about. I still like watching the dessert makings, and just pretend that all the dairy is vegan. There’s just something joyful in watching a cake, or frosting, or cookies being made.
