She’s got the looks, she’s got the smarts, and that’s just the basic formula for a successful career. After over 20 years of versatile roles, it’s safe to say that our cover girl, Mayim Bialik, has some serious staying power in the acting world. This Hollywood veteran has no shortage of titles under her belt. What’s even more impressive, however, is that her talents go beyond the big screen. In addition to being a brilliant actress, Bialik is also a critically acclaimed author, a campaign spokesperson, an accomplished neuroscientist and—her “most important role to date”—a proud mother of two.

Bialik’s acting career didn’t start as most others do; nonetheless, it progressed as most others don’t. After deciding on becoming an actress, she immediately began landing both movie and television roles—most notably a young CC Bloom (Bette Midler) in the comedy-drama film Beaches. Her “big break” came in the form of a starring role as Blossom Russo in the hit 90’s sitcom Blossom. The wacky, unconventional series lasted five seasons and really paved the way for Bialik’s already blooming career.

These days, we praise Bialik for her awesome comedic timing as Amy Farrah Fowler on CBS’s The Big Bang Theory. Unsurprisingly, Bialik’s hilariously brilliant performance on the show allowed her to be nominated for three consecutive Emmys. Perhaps what’s more surprising is how similar she is to her character on screen. Okay, so maybe she isn’t as socially awkward, but she is certainly equally intelligent. Both our cover girl and the character we adore have a Ph.D. in neuroscience. In fact, all throughout her lengthy career, Bialik has been very conscious of her studies. Her dedication to both her craft as well as her education is not only impressive, but admirable—particularly in a world where vanity and materialism prevail over all. As long as she’s been in the business, she has yet to succumb to Hollywood’s demands, and we think that has made all the difference!     Read More

Greenville Online: In the Kitchen with Mayim Bialik

Chris Worthy, Contributor 5:17 p.m. EDT July 21, 2014

Though she is best known for her Emmy-nominated role as Amy Farrah Fowler from “The Big Bang Theory,” Mayim Bialik‘s most important job starts when the cameras are turned off and the audience goes home.

Bialik is the mother of two young sons. She also has a PhD in neuroscience and has chosen a very non-Hollywood path to being a mom.

In her latest book, “Mayim’s Vegan Table,” Bialik gives parents the basics of making kid-friendly recipes that are entirely free of meat and animal products. And yes, her boys really do eat them.

Mayim’s Vegan Table Now at Stanford University Libraries

by Melody Star | July 2, 2014 8:13 PM PT

Mayim Bialik’s book Mayim’s Vegan Table is now available through the Standford University Library System.  The book can be found in the Crown Law Library with reference TX837.B495 2014.  Interesting they chose to put it in the Law Library.  I would have thought Humanties or Arts would have been more likely fit.

Mayim Bialik “treats” fans to a four-course dinner

Mayim Bialik, along with the Chef of Mowhawk Bend Restaurant treated fans last evening to a four-course dinner.   We have one fans account of the evening below.

Mayim at Mowhawk Restaurant presenting meals from her book Mayim’s Vegan Table on June 16, 2014.

Mayim giving insight on a recipe at last night’s dinner at Mowhawk Bend Restaurant in Los Angeles, CA

It was a 4-course vegan meal. Before every meal was served, she would talk a little bit about the course and her inspiration for it or whatnot. The first meal was a Matzoh ball soup, which I believe she said was a comforting food and something she ate a lot of after her car accident. The second course was a rainbow cabbage salad with tahini-lemon. She talked about trying to get her kids to eat a salad as big as their heads once a day. The festive colors of the salad make it a little easier. The third course was root vegetable latkes with vegan sour cream, vegetable tzimmes, and eggplant and red pepper crostini. She said the latkes are also really good with ketchup. The last course was dessert, a plum and walnut crisp. She talked about how much she loves plums and how her ex mother-in-law has a plum tree in her backyard.

After all the courses, there was a short Q&A section. I knew I wanted to ask her a question mainly because I wanted to thank her for playing Amy, so my hand shot up right away. She looked right at me, said she has a question, and then a guy with a microphone came to me. I told her first off I can’t ask you a question here without telling you how much I enjoy your portrayal of Amy on the Big Bang Theory and thank you for doing so. Everyone clapped and then I asked my question. Are there any recipes that her kids love to eat but she can’t stand? She said her younger son likes to eat a lot of fried foods and that her sons sometimes only want the filling of her Sheppard’s pie recipe.

There was a few other questions regarding raising kids vegan and how she makes it work. At the end she thanked the chef for making her delicious recipes and the Mohawk Bend for inviting her. Very fun and definitely worth the 30 dollars.

Thanks to everyone who got tix to our night w/ @missmayim! The event is #SoldOut but we hope you will stay tuned for our next event!

Well and Good NYC: Vegan actress Mayim Bialik shares two super simple side dishes

Saturday, June 14, 2014

Mayim Bialik’s been nominated for two Emmys for her role on The Big Bang Theory, but if you were a kid in the ’90s (guilty), she probably has a special place in your heart due to the sheer amazingness of her hats (I mean, acting!) on Blossom.

But beyond her television career, Bialik’s got a lot going on. The mom of two is a trained neuroscientist and has gotten lots of press for her advocacy of the very controversial Attachment Parenting.

She’s also a passionate vegan, and she recently teamed up with pediatrician Dr. Jay Gordon to create her first cookbook Mayim’s Vegan Table, which features super simple dishes meant to appeal to the palates of little ones and the time-sensitivities of busy adults. Here, she shares two you can get on the table in a flash. —Sarah Sarway

MLB.com: Mayim Bialik Visits ‘Express Written Consent’

Bialik brings brainpower to ‘Express Written Consent’

Actress, neuroscientist gives unique take on recent Dodgers-Giants matchup

By Alyson Footer / MLB.com | 6/12/2014 10:00 A.M. ET

While we haven’t looked at every Wikipedia page that’s out there, let’s go out on a limb and assume that there’s only one person who is introduced as: “An American actress and a neuroscientist.”

That would be one Mayim Bialik, who blossomed from a kid actor in the 1980s and ’90s to become a Ph.D. as an adult. Bialik is also an author of two books, the most recent being a cookbook titled “Mayim’s Vegan Table,” featuring more than 100 plant-based recipes.

Bialik is also a baseball fan, having been raised by parents who were born in the Bronx during World War II and grew up, as Bialik described it, “spitting distance from Yankee Stadium.”

With all this in mind, it comes as no surprise that her conversation with MLB.com host Jeremy Brisiel during a recent taping of “Express Written Consent” was one of the more … cerebral exchanges in “EWC” history.

“You’re really funny,” J.B. said to Bialik from a booth at Dodger Stadium. “And very smart.”

True on both counts. Bialik, who first appeared on screen as the kid version of Bette Midler in “Beaches,” and a few years later starred as the title character in the teen hit “Blossom,” created a niche for herself in quirky roles that perfectly complemented her comedic timing.

Consider her most recent role as Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler on the hit show “The Big Bang Theory.” That performance earned her Emmy Award nominations in 2012 and ’13 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. In the show, Bialik plays, ironically enough, a neuroscientist.

In real life, though, it’s likely Bialik relied more on her brains than her sense of humor. Consider the title of her dissertation: “Hypothalamic regulation in relation to maladaptive, obsessive-compulsive, affiliative, and satiety behaviors in Prader-Willi syndrome.”

So what does this have to do with baseball? Well, admittedly, not much, but Brisiel seemed to be enjoying himself as he steered the conversation toward breaking down a ballgame through the eyes of a neuroscientist.

Bialik may see things a little differently than we do, but she did provide a fascinating theory on why baseball is based so much on superstition, probably more than any other sport.

“The set of things to do to make things right,” Bialik began. “The sort of compulsive actions you’ll see going on with signals being thrown. Certain pitchers will have a lot of pomp and circumstance with everything they do. There’s a lot of emphasis on precision, because there is so much time in which to wait to try and zero in on things.

“You will see a tremendous amount of compulsive behavior, which we assume is operating from the obsessions involved in baseball.”

In other words, ballplayers are creatures of routine, who do the same thing when they’re batting, or pitching, or waiting on deck.

(At least that’s what we think she meant.)

Take Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval, for example. Bialik noticed him stepping out from the plate between pitches to retighten his batting gloves and, noting that there was probably no need to readjust, labeled it as: “a fixed action pattern he’s designed.”

Watching outfielder Brandon Belt bend down after being hit by a pitch, Brisiel asked, “Does squatting help you with pain?” To which Bialik answered, “Making yourself into a small position when you are wounded is something most animals do, yes.”

That’s only the tip of the iceberg in terms of cool things we learned during this episode of “EWC.” There’s more:

• Did you know that if you soak any nut — almonds, walnuts, cashews, for example — in a bowl of water for six hours and put them in a blender, they whip up to a cheese consistency? “Add garlic and herbs,” Bialik explained, “and it would taste like ricotta.”

• Bialik’s younger son started talking a little later than most kids. In fact, he learned to sing before he learned to speak. His first song? The old baseball standard, “Take Me Out To The Ballgame.”

• Bialik finds it fascinating that every ballpark has different dimensions and are different sizes from the others. She also loves that baseball is a sport where the manager wears a uniform, too.

Mostly, she enjoys the slower pace of baseball, referring to it as a “tedium.”

“It’s not like a fast-moving game,” she said. “It’s a sit and have a beer kind of game.”

That’s one theory we can all agree on, even without a dissertation to back it up.
