You are the quintessential cook, you take a recipe and make it your own. To me, that is cooking. I like the ideas I get from the reviews you do, the recipes you share, and your entertaining vibe with family. Stay you!
. . . my 3 most loved sections of all your Familia vids: Woolie's impromptu "courtesy smiles"; your (Jeremy) impromptu "mischievous smile" with the "musical wink" looking straight into the cam; & that super fun & entertaining "cartoonish" intermission spots you interject in most of your vids....you are genius - I just can't get enough of your creativity & fantastic talent... 🥰
Hiya from Ireland! I always crack up at your humour with your kids. “Why??” “Cuz I’m being a jerk!” 😂😂 That’s how I am with mine. 👊🏼 Thank you for all your hard work. I enjoy your content!

Hi Jeremy…thought I would help shed some light on this cookbook. Her handle is Love and Lemons and she is on all the social media platforms. The name of the vegetarian cookbook is Simple Feel Good Food. She has two other cookbooks - An Apple-To-Zucchini Celebration of Impromptu Cooking and Every Day. You reviewed her newest cookbook published in 2023. My husband gave all three to me for Christmas bcz I had been making some dishes from her website. He really liked them. But this month I discovered your channel and have upped my game to WFPB. Hubby not so much. But your ways are teaching me how to modify her recipes. I think Jeanine Donofrio’s cookbooks are creative, mostly healthy vegetarian (not vegan), and have clear instructions with beautiful pictures of the colorful food. Thanks for this review and honest opinion, I agreed with everything you said. You are my new teacher. 🙌🥳
WOW - this means a lot. I'm so glad that this video helped you moving forward to modify - that's such a beautiful thing to have passed along to you - i hope it' a gift that keeps on giving - share it with others :)
I really liked when you guys rated each recipe. You should do that every time. A good hack for swapping coconut milk: blending regular unsweetened milk with unsweetened coconut flakes. I have a chocolate-tahini cookies recipe and I used them for ice-cream sandwiches with my Ninja Creami ice cream ! Yum ! I love when you smile sheepishly to the camera ! So sweet ! Deconstructed lasagna is awesome ! Yay team fruit cake here !!! It is so funny seeing Annie hate something then right after Woolie loves it ! I love you guys ! Do you think the carrot bars could be made to be school safe ? It seems like a good choice for a snack. Maybe even in ball form.
To be honest - we recorded this one a little while back, so the rating system wasn't part of it - we'll be doing it moving forward - glad you liked that :) Team Fruit Cake! Oh - the carrot cake might be better frozen - BUT you could make a carrot cake energy ball just using dates and carrots and some oat or whole wheat flour and spices in a food processer
As always, I love your cookbook review videos. The pancakes, veg soup, tahini cookies, skillet lasagna and carrot cake bars as a special treat look yum and I’d try making them. I placed an order in for the book at my library. Your family is so supportive! People think you need oil for flavor but you do not. It’s a habit they need to change for healthier meals. I’m with Woolie in that I love soup! Cathy Fisher has a simple cauliflower soup that I make on repeat. I’ll post it on our membership site. I also love the humor in your videos. I have lol many times. The “processing” is funny and your grinning at the camera cracks me up. It seems rough to work with a non vegan book. Good job! 👏👍❤️
All I can say is, your daughter surprised me me with reaction to the pancakes. And your son with the green curry. That said, I grew up as a vegetarian and I ate everything that was set before me. Last 2 decades, if it's vegan & someone else cooks it, you won't need to toss it. 😂 Your family is so fortunate. Now I need to hunt for that cookbook.🎉
Hello Jeremy! this is Raquel sending much Love and Peace from Upstate NY. May I suggest using Tinkyada (made in Canada) Brown Rice lasagne noodles and instead of boiling them I just soak them in a 1/2 sheet pan (not overlaping) in boiling H2O for 20 min or so. They'll be soft, pliable and will finish cooking during baking while mantaining their shape beautifully. Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and am obssessed. :)
Hey Raquel! Thanks for the tips!!! I haven't seen that brand of pasta here in Canada, but I'll keep an eye out. Happy you've been enjoying the channel. I just boxed Annie up and poked in some air holes and will be shipping her to you first thing in the morning. Water and feed her please.
It is hard sometimes adapting vegetarian recipes to WFPB but my you do a good job so a big thankyou for doing that. It is good having a try at just vegetarian recipes as sometimes we can change it just a little and find an awesome recipe, which might become one of our favourites. A big thank you Jeremy once again for a great review
Thanks for your honest review of this cookbook. Some of the recipes I want to try. We'll see later. Another great video by Jeremy, & his family. The comments from your family are much appreciated. Good job-- God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
Thank you so much for reviewing this book! I bought it just 2 weeks ago, not knowing that the very next day I would decide to do only WFPB. I really liked the way the book gives so many variations for meal planning and I am still inspired by the recipes, so I found your substitutions so helpful! Now I feel ready to attempt to try making the ones I am wanting from the book too. Hello from Karen, in San Mateo California.
Good Morning from Marilyn in Mojave. Another fun video. I’m definitely going to try the pan Lasagna and the carrot cake bars. On the fence about the book. It would be great if the library had it, or may have to go to Barnes and Noble for a peek. 😉
The skillet lasagna looks so simple. I can use another quick week night meal in my rotation. I'd like to try the pesto lasagna too but that looks like a project.
Another awesome cookbook review what Jeremy and family ate in a week. Great that you customise the recipes especially since it's not a vegan cookbook and veganised the recipes. Love 🥰 the video and love ❤ Jeremy & Family.
Oh, Happy Saturday to me…I love your cookbook reviews! Thank you for making me avoid doing housework so I can put up my feet and watch. 😁 There were some interesting looking recipes. Love a deconstructed lasagna. (Ephraim, “Tastes like sludge”. 😂 Your kids are tough customers!) For myself, I prefer when you review already vegan cookbooks. I have so many vegetarian cookbooks (pre-vegan days) that I’m unlikely to get another vegetarian cookbook. I am really curious about many vegan or WFPB cookbooks though. 😀 Love it when Woolie is in the videos. She is always a delight, and you two are funny together. ❤
. . . agreed wholeheartedly....can't get enough of Wooly's subtle, yet sexy personality....as well as your super great filming talent & fun personality & of course, your 2 kids are outstandingly fabulous....🥰🥰🥰
Awww thanks - I like it when she's around too :) Most of the books come from recommendations from the audience - this was one requested quite a bit - but I apprecate this feedback!
Definitely want to try the skillet lasagna and the carrot cake. Fun video. Seemed like your son was trying to “yuck your yum” in this video!! 😂 Great content once again.
I bought the first Love and Lemons cookbook. I believe I saw another review video where they baked cabbage slices with fancy mustard and maple. It made me need the book. LOL the cabbage was amazing. The first one was pretty plant heavy as well, but vegetarian. Most of the recipes you tried sounded good too!
Her website comes up in the top three nearly every time I search for a veg recipe and I do the same thing-a lot of adaptations. No shade because I've made exactly one recipe to spec in the last 15 years and needn't have bothered, but I modify hers more than most. Not simply for the vegan aspect but I find most are overly fussy or just not to our taste. I'm rarely anyone's target audience. I agree about the skillet lasagna-mix in the ricotta, make a pink sauce and why waste the more expensive lasagna noodles by breaking them up? Use farfalle and be done with it. That said, I've got one dinner covered this week, thank you! I'd kill for Woolie's thick bouncy hair, it's gorgeous.
Desiree Nielsen’s books are really good - “Eat More Plants” and “Good for your Gut”. She is an RD so there’s some nerdy dietician stuff in the beginning but her recipes are delicious and unique!
Hi again! I got this book from my library. It is a visually gorgeous book and would make a great gift for anyone on a vegetarian diet. It definitely could be a bit challenging for WFPB vegans like us who don’t like to consume oil (especially coconut oil for me) and need to make substitutions. It’s nice how she gives different versions of foods like pancakes. I personally have a tiny bit of trouble with flow charts which she uses, but that’s just me. The recipes do look delicious and I’d like to make some of them. The book is chock full of information and ideas for putting meals together. I really like the book.
Oh, yum! Pesto lasagna and the freezer carrot cake bars are on my list! Thanks! By the way, the 4 vegan recipes I tried for our first week of 4 days a week vegan were a real hit with my husband!! Buddha Bowl, falafel and pita bread, shepherd's pie, and vegan ramen were damn delicious!
I really appreciate the way you adapt recipes to make them WFPB, which is very similar to my approach, so it's nice to see how well the adaptations worked. I was thinking for that romesco sauce that was too garlicky, maybe roasting or somehow cooking the garlic first would tone it down a bit, or using garlic powder instead of raw garlic. My library has 3 different Love and Lemons cookbooks, so that is part of the longer book title.
I give you kudos for attempting to cook out of a not totally vegan, wfpb cook book! Wooly is so sweet about trying all your recipes and giving positive feedback. The kiddos are tough customers but i like how you make them try everything!!! Also, I think you should try totally bald! It'll grow back if ya don't like it! Great video as usual!
I was looking forward to this one because I have the book and was curious about yours and your family's thoughts. Fortunately, I've made most of the items you did. Want to know my comments on them? Okay, here they are anyway 😉 With the Tofu Vegetable Green Curry: way too bland and no Thai curry flavours. It needed coriander, cumin, ginger, etc. The skillet lasagna I've made 3 times so far BUT hers is BLAND! (When I read the recipe, that was evident so I naturally added my herbs right off the bat.) She doesn't add a single spice! I add lots of oregano, basil, and sometimes tarragon to give it some flavour. But otherwise, it's a fast, easy dish. I've made one of her tahini cookies (the Trail Mix version) and we really liked them -- we especially like the tahini flavour that comes through. The very reason I bought this book was to get one recipe in it: the freezer carrot cake bars. I know. Anyway, they are great and I'll be serving them to my book club next time I get to host. Overall, with the cooked recipes I find she has good ideas and combinations but very bland. If a person adds spice and herbs, you're golden. May I recommend a recipe that you should try in her book? The Lemony Celery Chickpea salad. We've had it a couple times; I even served it to company and they really liked it. Thanks, as always, to you and your family.
Thanks Diane! I've already returned this book to the library so I don't think I'll be able to try that one. I agree with pretty much everything you've said here - lots of great ideas here, but you need to make it your own :)
great review as always! You mentioned mayo, have you tried making it from silken tofu? I think it's pretty mind blowing. I have one on my blog and will have a video out for it in the next few weeks because it's so cool. It's oil-free. Just silken tofu and some seasonings!
Thanks! I have made it from that myself - I agree - that's my go-to now - we actually shot this video a few months back, so it's a litttttle out of date :) We still need to schedule our interview!
I never wrap my roasted peppers and take the black stuff off. I just cool them down enough to touch them and cut them into pieces and either use them right away or freeze them. Keeping that black on their doesn't change the flavor at all and when you add it to a super astute it adds really pretty little black flecks
Do you think that the lentil lasagna skillet recipe can be cooked in a slow cooker? I bought a slow cooker to use on my truck and I would love to try that. Oh and by the way, that curry recipe might have been good with yellow curry. I love yellow curry and green curry but yellow Curry's my favorite cuz it's a little bit more sweet and I think it carries that curry flavor very well and you can use more potatoes and carrots!
I assume the coconut oil is to help fudge set. Wonder if a bit cacao butter could be used instead. I assume it’s compliant because I think Dreena Burton has used it.
Hi Jeremy, Thank you so much for another useful and always funny video! I have another cookbook from Love and Lemons and really enjoyed a lot of the recipes. Sending you and your family love from Germany. P.S. I think Annie was not in the mood for new recipes this week 🙃
Here are some cookbook suggestions: Plant Based Cooking Made Easy, The China Study Cookbook, Vegan Comfort Classics, Eat to Live, How Not to Diet, The Starch Solution, Fiber Fueled, Goodbye Lupus Hello Delicious
I've used PB2 - it's nice for weight loss, but I still prefer the real thing. Aquafaba is the bean juice - but if you make your own you might need to cook it down a little
Hey Jeremy, about the tee shirt contest for your merch store. Someone suggested "Smash it into your Face!" I really like that. I think something like..."If It's Whole Food Plant Based..Smash It Into Your Face!". Forgive me if I have mentioned this before in another post. I also thought of "Get A Life- Go Whole Food Plant Based", or "Live Your Best Life- Go Whole Food Plant Based" with maybe some favorite fruits and vegetables under the words. Looking forward to the results of the contest! 😃
Hey Jeremy, I wish you would air/review WFPB oil free cookbooks first than reviewing all these non compliant cookbooks. I love the fact that you show us how we can modify recipes to make them compliant but let's show some love to those who put effort in creating WFPB cookbooks as priority please 🙏🏼
Appreciate this. I typically pick books based on the recommendations from our audience, and this was recommended a LOT. But I'll keep this in mind moving forward! Thank you!
100% - I just prefer to not use oil in my cooking for health reasons, but don't judge anyone who wants to use it. This channel tries to focus on WFPB, so I offer swaps when I can.
Nice job with the recipes. You’re so good at tweaking things and making them better/ healthier. My vote is to shave your head. That’s a good look. Also, have you reviewed Dr Wil Bulsiewicz’s Fiber Fueled yet? I’m curious what you all think of it. Also with the gingerbread pancakes, when I was a young girl I couldn’t eat that kind of spice either. I think spice is something we grow into enjoying as adults, maybe?
....oooh....sorry...one more thing....I wonder why some of my most fav "health Stars" still use aluminum foil with all the latest findings to the high association with dementia/ Alzheimer’s.... & just always luvvvv Wooly at the sink while you're filming... ❤❤es ❤❤❤
I enjoy the rants about the “extra oil and calories being unnecessary!”
So glad!
Woolie cackling at the sink was so funny 😂
So much love for Woolie today! :)
I totally agree and she made me laugh out loud.

I made the freezer carrot cake and all liked it even my 8 yr old granddaughter. YAY
Yeah!!!!
OMG I agree about the olive oil with the tomato sauce in the skillet. It's just unwanted fat I totally agree with you.
Right?! Thanks!!!
Try thin lengthwise zucchini slices with your spinach layer. It will add moisture and you'll like it.
Thanks for the tip!

Hello Jeremy! this is Raquel sending much Love and Peace from Upstate NY. May I suggest using Tinkyada (made in Canada) Brown Rice lasagne noodles and instead of boiling them I just soak them in a 1/2 sheet pan (not overlaping) in boiling H2O for 20 min or so. They'll be soft, pliable and will finish cooking during baking while mantaining their shape beautifully. Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and am obssessed. :)
Hey Raquel! Thanks for the tips!!! I haven't seen that brand of pasta here in Canada, but I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks Grandma Katie!!!
Great video! I wrote down several recipes that my tribe would like to try.
I love that you put the recipes up on the screen. 😊❤
You are so welcome! Which recipes do you think your gang will try?
The pesto sauce, the freezer carrot cake one, freezer brownies, and the stir fry one. 😋
Woolie is wearing my favorite sweater 😊
I think it's hers too :)
I'm going to borrow this one from my library. I'm interested to try both lasagnas and I'm interested in seeing the format for the bowls. Looks fun.
A solid borrow for sure!

Thanks! I have made it from that myself - I agree - that's my go-to now - we actually shot this video a few months back, so it's a litttttle out of date :)
We still need to schedule our interview!
@@pbwithjeremy oh good I’m glad you’ve tried using that 👍🏼 and ya you can let me know when your schedule allows for it!
I never wrap my roasted peppers and take the black stuff off. I just cool them down enough to touch them and cut them into pieces and either use them right away or freeze them. Keeping that black on their doesn't change the flavor at all and when you add it to a super astute it adds really pretty little black flecks
I worry more about the carcinogens that might be in the black burnt bits...
@@pbwithjeremy I would too if it was something I ate every day. Just a thought
Fair enough. It still adds up though over time, no?
@@pbwithjeremy I say it's what you do the majority of the time not the minority of the time. But to each his own! Thank you for you being you
Chuck Underwood has his comfort food classics cookbook out. It would be a good one to try.
Oh - we're on it - review will be up THIS SATURDAY :)
Do you think that the lentil lasagna skillet recipe can be cooked in a slow cooker? I bought a slow cooker to use on my truck and I would love to try that. Oh and by the way, that curry recipe might have been good with yellow curry. I love yellow curry and green curry but yellow Curry's my favorite cuz it's a little bit more sweet and I think it carries that curry flavor very well and you can use more potatoes and carrots!
You could try the skillet pasta that way - let me know! And good idea with the curry
Garlic ROCKS.
I assume the coconut oil is to help fudge set. Wonder if a bit cacao butter could be used instead. I assume it’s compliant because I think Dreena Burton has used it.
Yes - Cocoa butter is - I actually have a little in the fridge - I just need to try it :)
Hi Jeremy,
Thank you so much for another useful and always funny video! I have another cookbook from Love and Lemons and really enjoyed a lot of the recipes. Sending you and your family love from Germany.
P.S. I think Annie was not in the mood for new recipes this week 🙃
Ha :) You never know what you're going to get with the kids :)
Here are some cookbook suggestions: Plant Based Cooking Made Easy, The China Study Cookbook, Vegan Comfort Classics, Eat to Live, How Not to Diet, The Starch Solution, Fiber Fueled, Goodbye Lupus Hello Delicious
Thanks! I'll add them to our very long list :)
Some of these we've already done if you go through our playlist for the recipe reviews!
How do you make aquafaba? I thought it was just the bean juice. Also, have you heard of, or used PB2 pure? In place of peanut butter?
I've used PB2 - it's nice for weight loss, but I still prefer the real thing.
Aquafaba is the bean juice - but if you make your own you might need to cook it down a little
Hey Jeremy, about the tee shirt contest for your merch store. Someone suggested "Smash it into your Face!" I really like that. I think something like..."If It's Whole Food Plant Based..Smash It Into Your Face!". Forgive me if I have mentioned this before in another post. I also thought of "Get A Life- Go Whole Food Plant Based", or "Live Your Best Life- Go Whole Food Plant Based" with maybe some favorite fruits and vegetables under the words. Looking forward to the results of the contest! 😃
Hello from Italy.
Hello from Boston- Fiona
Hi Fiona!
Hey Jeremy, I wish you would air/review WFPB oil free cookbooks first than reviewing all these non compliant cookbooks. I love the fact that you show us how we can modify recipes to make them compliant but let's show some love to those who put effort in creating WFPB cookbooks as priority please 🙏🏼
Appreciate this. I typically pick books based on the recommendations from our audience, and this was recommended a LOT. But I'll keep this in mind moving forward! Thank you!
I vote shave it all on the head! Talked my husband into it 17 years ago and he's loved it!
Woolie gets final say : )
Hello from Becky in Virginia
Hi Becky!
The reason oil is there is that EVOO has a definite flavor. Just saying..😊
100% - I just prefer to not use oil in my cooking for health reasons, but don't judge anyone who wants to use it. This channel tries to focus on WFPB, so I offer swaps when I can.
Hello, Jessi in North Las Vegas
Hi Jessi!
You didn’t ask for that diatribe… 🥰🤣
Hey ya’ll from Kandi here in OKLAHOMA! My hubby has a shaved head and beard, and I love it!
That is awesome! :)
Nice job with the recipes. You’re so good at tweaking things and making them better/ healthier.
My vote is to shave your head. That’s a good look. Also, have you reviewed Dr Wil Bulsiewicz’s Fiber Fueled yet? I’m curious what you all think of it. Also with the gingerbread pancakes, when I was a young girl I couldn’t eat that kind of spice either. I think spice is something we grow into enjoying as adults, maybe?
I think it was the cardamom - not something I'd have put in a "gingerbread pancake" myself.... And we haven't done that one yet - on the list!
Just pour boiling water over the lasagna noodles and let the soak for a few minutes to rehydrate a little before assembling the lasagna.
THIS IS BRILLIANT. Thank you!
I really enjoyed your cookbook review! I am definitely going to try those carrot cake bars. My vote is, don’t shave your head. Lol!❤
Yay! Thank you!
Ya, if you take out the fat, you need to up the seasonings. And, yes, definitely needs lemongrass.
100%
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who has temper tantrums while cooking! 😆
It happens :)
Hello!
Angela, Minneapolis
Hi!!!
I vote you leave your hair alone. And I love woolie’s reaction to yumminess. Her whole face lights up. Lol
Isn't she the best? :)
Head scab segment made me lol!
Hey Jeremy, go ahead and lay on this couch 🛋️ and tell us how you're feeling. We're here for you, man. We hear you.
Awwwww - thank you!
Just a heads up 😊. Be careful of those scales on the top of bald heads- my husband’s were pre cancerous!
I was just at the skin doctor and got a once over. So far so good! Thanks though!!!!
Shave it.. it'll look cool!!
No on the shave..from Leslie from Northeast Texas.
Love & Lemons Everyday cookbook would be a better review cuz it's more plant-forward as she says
Thanks for the tip!
Hello down below… lesley from uk 🇬🇧 ❤
Hi Lesley!
What happened to our new rating system
This video was recorded before I started using it - it'll be in future videos - worry not!
My daughter is asking if Annie is wearing Taylor Swift bracelets? Lol
That would be a YES
You know….if T swift became vegan that could be a huge linchpin with a huge demographic!! 🎉
T shirt idea " I want to ne gluten free just like wooley"
nice!
Vote, love you either way but only do whatever makes life easier, on or off, how often would you need to cut/shave it. Make life simple as possible ❤😊
Thx!
My vote is don’t shave your head. I like it the way it is.😊
:)
I love a shaved head, think Yul Brynner, sexiest man of his time!
Ha!
sorry but your music is terrible Jeremy, but love the processing icon!
ALL the music?
....oooh....sorry...one more thing....I wonder why some of my most fav "health Stars" still use aluminum foil with all the latest findings to the high association with dementia/ Alzheimer’s.... & just always luvvvv Wooly at the sink while you're filming... ❤❤es ❤❤❤
I need to read up more on that - thank you !
Except for the carrot cake recipes I wasn’t impressed.
Were the carrots raw or cooked in the carrot cake?
Also shave head :)
Raw! :)
@@pbwithjeremy thank you!
Please don't waste water.. it's a humble request!!!!
Where did we waste water? Woolie was joking. If she turns on the sink she’s using it.
Do not shave your head 😊
I agree.
My vote is don’t shave your head
I enjoy your videos here in Oklahoma! Not too many WFPB people here in the heart of a cattle state!
