Love you both, merry Christmas from South Africa 🎉🎉🎉
You make cooking so much fun and simplified
Can't think of a better way to spend a festivas morning than watching a Sarno, Miss America video 😊
Ok.. I’m going vegan 2025. I rarely eat animal products but I’m going total vegan now that I’m watching your videos. I found you just as you are leaving… must be a bit of fate.. I think Frankie sent me your video!
That looks amazing!
I love that knife ! I just checked out the site and didn't find it was on there yet :/ . Also, working in the industry I've noticed that most don't put as much effort into plant based dishes like you or I would. Thank you for showing people that there's more you can do.
Oh my goodness! That looks glorious! I'm definitely going to prepare this. Thank you so much for your shows and inspirations!❤
Happy Holidays! This recipe looks extra delicious, and Miss America is amazing, love her talk😂 and humour! Derek you are precious for us, take time to reset, thank you for this Christmasy tofu!
It wouldn’t be a nice Vegan Christmas, if I don’t see Frankie Miss America
Derek, you have become one of my favorite cooking teachers and spiritual teachers over the last few months. Thank you for sharing your authenticity with all of us. I hope you and Frankie have a peaceful holiday season.
yUm!! 😋
Thank you for not only helping me to be a better cook, but also a better person. ❤
1:32 Whole plum tomatoes = bank [🐻] Sarno being sly 🦊/ 🦔. Furthermore, how cool to upcycle old skate decks…from one shred to another 🥰
I just love your videos!! I’m getting the flame tamer for my niece.
You will love an induction cooktop.
I want to make this meal so badly. Step one: buy cast iron skillet.
Step two: develop patience
Have a great holiday. With your help I've made the transition from what Mom and Grandma taught me to all plant based. Now I watch for ideas that I'll take and make mine. Looking forward to what you give us in the New Year.
Hello Derek, do you mind giving the names of the books you show quickly in the beginning of this video?
My cookbook suggests peeling carrots because the skin can be bitter as a way for the carrot to protect itself when growing. However, I’ve never noticed a major difference. Although I try to peel things if they aren’t organic (though if they’re exposed to pesticides as they grow, does it make a difference? Idk, makes me feel better lol)
What book would you recommend for someone who is interested in learning about Buddhism?
I wish myself to meet a vegan man that cooks as good 😅 I find cooking so stressful.
Love your channel. I am 100% plant based now. Use lots of your recipes, especially Tofu! Thank you for what you do. It is really beautiful. Would love to meet you if you are in St Louis! 🙏🙏
Happy Yuletide! 🌲❄️
WOW!!
Frankie's comments throughout are so funny. She cracks me up every time 😂
Great tofu ..thankyou ❤..i keep learning and loving the cooking
Merry Christmas, brother!
Oh man, I'm gonna miss you guys. I hope you will carry on recording these videos out of your van.
Wow this looks amazing! The browned tofu with leek on top! Yum! You make everything look so flawless! You are my new fav vegan YouTuber ❤❤
Please stop automatic translation, its really bad ! Titles make no sens, its harder for me to find specific videos to get the recipe, the voice over is truly horrible, a robotic voice that does not make any sense either :/ love from Paris !
You and Frankie are amazing!
Were those yellow potatoes and the skin was left on?
💃💃💃😌yummmmy wow !!!!
Wow Derek, what a beautiful Christmas dinner that would be, if only I could get family to eat at least some vegan…
The highlight of the video is definitely 05:45!
Wishing you a "HAPPY NEW YEAR"❤
What kind of vegetable is called corset
Saw that! Bodhicharyavatara. Mine's all dog eared and the spine is broken from all the use. Blessings to you and Frankie. Spreading the dharma through cooking. 🙏📿
The automatic translation of the title and the abstract, as well as the explanations below the video, are just horrible. The AI produces a text that not even the stupidest person would ever dream of.
I didn't find an option on my end to turn this feature off, so I assume that maybe you can turn it off?
It's really stupid.
I've become such a fan of this channel and lifestyle. Very inspiring to me and helpful during these hard times. Thank You for all that you do. <3
I love everything about your videos. And Frankie is completely awesome! Will you marry me? (In my photo, I'm the one on the right) Lol!
Love the sound effects!
💚💚💚 Bless you xx
Not only is the food you cook delicious, since I cook it too, but I get to enjoy that adorable dog Miss Frankie, and your love for her. My Bella is now 14 and I'll be facing that crisis before too long of losing a best friend. Just enjoy your moments as Frankie will always adore you, too! This is the best, well, one of the best videos. You have made so many. I made these root vegetables and added brussel sprouts, for a shared Christmas dinner with friends. They fixed the main, but the veggies were a huge hit. Can't thank you enough, again and again. I hope you're with family this Christmas and getting Frankie to the US has been simple. I look forward to your adventures and your future; it's bright. You're not old, just better! Enjoy and appreciate your past. It's all part of where you're meant to be. Thank you for respecting animals and sharing everything you know about food. ❤
This looks delicious. Thank you for teaching your techniques for flavorful meals without meat.
Arrr finally, I've found someone else on here who doesn't skin their spuds or carrots. Well done man!
My cat Luna likes Frankie, says she's cool.
Do you think you could do a quick “how to” on how you sharpen your knives. I bought a whetstone and it all came in Japanese!!! 😂
Wish I was your neighbor, getting dinner invites! I've never seen that book at the start – food of bodhisattvas – so will definitely check that out too.
That looks really great!
You lost us at 1 cup of butter (plant-based or not) …. We then ran when we heard you say that you use a TBSP of black pepper for 10 potatoes.
