- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- In today's video I am sharing with you an autumn meal prep for the month! Usually I don't like meal prepping but when it comes to utilising your freezer you can really food prep for a whole month! After prepping all our food it makes is simpler to meal plan and meal prep in a sustainable and minimalistic way. This also helps to reduce food waste and incorporate zero waste recipes too.

You know, Immy, why I like your videos? I can watch them any time of the day. It's not that type of video which gives you an adrenaline shot with the usual: "HI GUYS! TODAY I AM MAKING..." and then you freak out how loud it is! I can watch your videos in the morning when I try to wake up and in the evening - to relax before going to bed. So, thank you for being "you" and not trying to be like everyone else, because someone like me needs these type of videos :) xoxo.
Oh this is so true!
I thought exactly the same! This is so relaxing. I don't feel like I have to be pumped to watch a cooking video as if I'm about to start a workout!! hahahah
@@KiskaViki I like your comparison. :D Truly, a lot of videos out there are doing exactly that and raising our adrenaline levels :)))
TIP: My Mom was a Champion Dumpling Maker! Spoon dumplings (aka Drop Dumplings) were her thing. I must have been the only kid in the neighbourhood who thought stew/soup was gourmet cuisine… just because of her dumplings. My Mom always said that the secret to making light and fluffy dumplings is to have the soup/stew REALLY HOT, and also NO PEEKING! When you lift the lid to peek at your cloud-like dumplings, you are letting all the heat and steam escape, and this means the dumplings won’t cook properly. Peeking results in dumplings that are gooey, and they will most likely not be those fluffy dreamy clouds of deliciousness that we all love. Great video Immy… thanks for the Autumn kitchen inspo. 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary🍁. PS - soup with dumplings pairs nicely with 🍷 (I’m no sommelier… I just know what I like 😃.)
yes. i remember mom used to drop them in with all different sizes :) and we had to stay away from the pot until it was ready LOL
@@zerowastehomestead2518 I think we grew up in the same kitchen… haha… does this make us dumpling twins?? Ⓜ️ary🍁
@maroxa I don’t think dumplings can be over-cooked (within reason ofc) but they can certainly be undercooked. My Mom would get the pot of stew/soup piping hot, then drop the dumpling dough off the big metal spoon and onto the surface of the hot liquid. (Her dumplings were not shaped by hand like Immy’s are, but it’s the same technique.). My Mom would then cover and simmer for 15 minutes with, as you know… no peeking or lifting the lid. They always turned out perfectly… and I’ve had success with this technique too. I hope this is helpful. Happy Dumplings to you!! Ⓜ️ary🍁
Can you tell that autumn is my FAVOURITE time of year? I really hope you enjoy today's video, the mushroom soup with dumplings is obviously my favourite! I filmed this video to be an 'experience' so I've included a no nonsense blog post that details all the ingredients!
Just wanted to add that Nutmeg makes an amazing difference in Whitesauce 😉
You should consider an immersion blender for soups and sauces. It is so much faster and saves you pouring back and forth into different containers.
I was gonna recommend the same thing! It is an essential for soups and purées.
*Have you considered (....)
Please take it as a compliment that I found my first viewing of this video so meditative and soothing that I dropped off! I woke up suddenly as it was finishing, so I had to view it again - ah well, that won't hurt the YT algorithm, will it?! Lovely video! It all looks delicious and the kind of food I would love to have in my freezer too - that mushroom soup with dumplings is a "must-try immediately" dish for me. Thank you for your contribution to my education as a newish vegan. :-)
You have such a beautiful, calming speaking voice. 💖
Anyone else watch these just for the quality voiceover ? The food looks great but I live for the honest and relatable commentary.... Love how you keep it real Immy xx PS well done on working on your cooking.. see you can do it after all
She has a lovely voice, for sure.
@@ianaliciaperry5243 and is very funny
Just an advice: celery is very stringy and it's wise to chop it quite small (like Immy did) before putting it in the food processor, cos the strings could wrap around the spinning part, slowing it down and sometimes making it burn with the effort 🙂
Sadly it happened at home and to the professional blender in the kitchen where I went to work (before I got there!) 😅
You can also peel it (like how one peels potatoes or carrots).
Your meal prep videos are always so relaxing
That's so interesting that you associate sage with lamb dishes. Just shows how herbs differ from country to country, region to region. Here in Canada sage is almost always paired with poultry dishes like turkey, or with pork. I use it whenever I want my tofu or seitan to be a substitute for those things. That mushroom soup looks delicious.
Hello fellow Canuck… I was thinking the same thought exactly… here in 🇨🇦 sage is associated with turkey/poultry. Like you, we are plant-based so no turkey for us this Thanksgiving. We had a delicious tempeh dish with coleslaw and roasted sweet potatoes which used up lots of veggies from our garden harvest. I agree 💯… the Mushroom Soup with the Dumplings looks amazing and I am gonna make it as soon as I have some mushrooms on hand. Have a great day. Ⓜ️ary
I thought of this too, but I associate sage with pasta (gnocchi) and browned butter! It's a dish that I miss as a vegan, vegan butter doesn't quite do the trick
@@wilmaottosson Yes, I agree with you Wilma… vegan butter works in some things but not in everything. Mmm… I love gnocchi!! Ⓜ️ary
Hello.fellow.Canadians
@@valdamarielegault1907 Hello friend from 🇨🇦!! Ⓜ️ary
All of these look amazing.
You are peaceful. Looks delicious. You don't need the background music. Thanks.
I just loved how calming this video was and the quality of the food!
Love love love your food prep videos. You always inspire me to do food prep of my own ❤
These recipes look so good! I'm glad your channel just popped up in my recommended
Very efficient clear cook, neat fast professional.
I found it so relatable about how you found sage synonymous with lamb. There’s definitely a few things that I’ve had to work through.
Oh my gosh, I want to try ALL the recipes! 🥰
I never even thought of just using the tops and bottoms of celery, i've always frozen them and put them in stock, but i might definitely give this a go! :)
Excited to try some of these meals. Also kinda impressed you have so much freezer space!
Immy, thank you so much for introducing me to suet! Here in the US it isn’t popular. I have been wanting an alternative to lard for making tortillas & dumplings. Now I have one! I appreciate you & all you do. Stay Blessed.
Yes! More prep videos! Thanks!
I love sage cooked with pumpkin or squash, new york times has a delicious squash and kale savory pie with sage; also home-made yam or sweet potato gnocchi is delicious when served with truffle oil fried crispy sage leaves.
Oh my ! you have just given me so many things to try making this Autumn! The sweet potato gnocchi sounds like actual heaven!
@@SustainablyVegan gnocchi with sweet potato are easier than potato because when you steam or bake them they mash completely with a fork, then add flour until you get a dough, roll into ropes, cut and boil. They freeze really well too.
So just drizzle a little truffle oil over the Gnocchi after its cooked?? That's how you serve it, topped with crispy sage? Omg...sounds sooooo good!
Summer eating is light and leafy… so when Autumn rolls around and our meals become more rich and earthy… I am so ready for it. Oofff… the thumbnail is making me drool. Those dumplings!!! Immy… you’ve certainly found your kitchen groove in 2021. I am excited to try all these recipes. Thank-you!! 🌎 💦Ⓜ️ary🍁
yes. the dumplings are amazing looking. I'm in withdrawal
@@zerowastehomestead2518 OK ZWH… let’s make a pact that sometime soon we make Immy’s Mushroom Stoup with Dumplings… and then we can really be thankful and satisfied. Ⓜ️ary🍁
@@marycharlebois6627 I'm going to have to puree it i think cause "unpopular opinion" time i do not like the texture of mushrooms
12:36 haha. I love how relatable you are! 😂❤️
I'd love more meal prep videos, thanks so much for this one!
More to come!
It all looked so good. But, I want that mushroom soup. With dumplings. Sounds so good. Love mushrooms. ♥️☺️
Wow these look so good!! Chestnuts in soup is inspired, that sounds so delicious. Thank you Immy!
ah thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot. Honestly I could eat chestnuts in literally everything...
I might have to give the dumplings a try, my mum really dislikes dumplings so I never had them growing up but they look delicious
I love your meal preps,they look so delicious🥰
Thank you! I'm really trying to discover new recipes and new things to show you !
Love your Dutch oven 😍😍
I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone with meals, really interested in your mushroom soup! I hated them as a child but now I love them 💕
I've been trying to do the same thing! I've really started to branch out to try and make things I usually buy - today I made my first ever fermented hot sauce and it turned out so well!
would love for you to do a video of actually serving the food (from taking them out of the freezer, thawing /microwaving/etc). would like to see the actual un-frozen ready to eat meals. thanks.
Hi. Thanks for the recipes. I'm not a vegan but I'm always looking for recipes without meat to replace meat dishes with, due to high costs of meat products. Thanks again.
Love the meal prep videos!
Yay! Thank you! So many more coming
These look lovely!❤️
everything loks soo yummyx
I’m making that mushroom dumpling soup TODAY! Nice video!
I’m coming over for dinner 😃. I want to make it today too, but alas… we have no mushrooms in the house. Ⓜ️ary🍁
I have been making a vegan lasagne but it doesn't have the white sauce. I will be trying this lasagne at weekend. Thank you! 😊
Your kitchen is amazing! I can barely imagine having so much space. =)
i’m gonna have to try one of these immy! + i just thrifted some new glass click lid containers
WoW Arii… what a total thrifting score!! Those glass click-lid containers are so awesome cuz they’re see through so when freezing leftovers or meal prep there is no labelling needed (except maybe for the date). They can also go into the micee… they’re pretty versatile. It must have been your lucky day at the thrift store. Have a great upcoming week Arii. Ⓜ️ary🍁
ive cooked half a kilo of organic british fava beans just waiting for the water to boil to sterilise 4 jars so i can can them up for future use trying just plain beans this time so i can flavor how i need them when i need them giving me more options but they will be ready rinsed soaked overnight and cooked im a happy vegan x
Dumplings!!! OMG I have not had those in forever
We must be easy-going and appreciative people… when one gets excited about dumplings, that’s a good sign. Ⓜ️ary. PS - like you, dumplings are very nostalgic for me… there is nothing better than reminiscent memories of favourite childhood foods made by our Moms. 🥰
Thanks for that video and sharing your beautiful recipes. What came into my mind was that it would be even more sustainable when you would vacuum the jars with soup by cooking them in water. No need to freeze those huge jars. Greets and love from Germany
I need to do some more researching into canning for sure because you have to get it right! but yet this is a great idea!
Thank you for making this video. II really enjoyed it and want to try doing making those dishes. When we are ready to eat the meals how do you reheat them after they've thawed in the refrigerator or on the counter?
LOVE your video's!!!
Thank youuuu so much!!
Really enjoying your videos and inspiring me so much! Find your voice vet soothing also 😊 where do you get your glass tubs from? Thanks x
I don't have a freezer at uni or I'd defo make a massive lasagne this looks amazing!! personally i don't think there's much point putting vegan cheese in sauce cause it just melts away, but i love it sprinkled on the top like you have it :)
Loving your kitchen! Miss cooking on an aga, but my slow cooker helps a little. Always cook from scratch myself, but looking to include some more plant based dishes (was veggie for 4 years, then hit with dairy allergy, but found veganism to hard when living out of hotels during the working week).
Thank you so much for these recipes, I will be trying the mushroom dumpling soup! It makes me drool. I have never heard of suet before, and after doing some research I found it is quite a traditional ingredient, I'm afraid I can't find it here in Belgium. Could I substitute it with something?
every time she says "oregahhno" with her british accent, I think she is saying "origami" lol.
Food prep yes! 📍📍📍
amazing! thanks a lot for the recipes I'll definitely make two of them! how do you cook the chestnuts?
I either boil or roast them!
For anyone in the UK/Europe looking for a good vegan cheese for something like this, Pangea foods Gondino is actually amazing! Proper Italian style cheese for pasta 😃🍝
Ooooh thanks so much for the recommendation !!
YAYYYYY!!!!
damn, i really need a freezer 😥 the suops look so great! will try them and just make smaller portions for my freezer-less life (just no space in my tiny student kitchen)
Great recipes! Honestly I'd have those 4 jars of chestnut soup in one single portion heh
Hey, where did you buy your glass boxes? I’d love to have them too:)
What is vegetable suet? Is it like shortening? Can I use something else instead? Like coconut oil?
Please consider thrifting a wide-mouth canning funnel. 💯 helps
Adding to my list immediately!
@@SustainablyVegan 🤗
Hi! I don't know if you're aware but chestnut mushrooms, white mushrooms, portobello mushrooms etc. (all different stages of growth of the same type of mushroom) are only grown on peat which has a really big negative environmental impact. If you find a good source of them grown peat-free then I'd love to know!!
Really want to try your lasagne recipe and that soup looked so good - I've never frozen dumplings before so I'm going to try that! Do you have a chest freezer Immy? If not a word of caution. I find those glass containers too heavy to go in the drawers of an upright. It's how I killed my last freezer - they ended up cutting right into the moulded runners so i was unable to open the drawers!!
Ohhh thanks for the advice! The one I use is an upright one! I'll have to be careful
I’m not sure if I can get chestnuts is there a good replacement?
Hi, how can you tell if the reusable glass containers can be frozen?
a big tip if you freeze your meals put gladwrap on the top before you put the lid because that will stop the freezer cristals thats not a nice taste
Hi, What is the vegetable suet?
These look lovely! Where would you recommend buying the glass dishes from? I assume they're microwave and oven safe? :) Thanks for making this
They look like mine and their coming from IKEA, the 365+ range. Freezer and microwave safe.
where can i get the containers?
tip: you should get a garlic press then you just take the skins off and you can press the garlic instead of chopping all that garlic
in a recent vid you did the person (i cannot remember her name) recommended some books im happy to say i got 4 for a grand total of £4.90 zero plastic P&P result thank you xx
Amazing!!
That mushroom lasagne looks like something my mum would love but she's allergic to nuts. Can I just omit the walnuts or should I substitute with something?
Walnuts are absolutely not necessary!! You can omit completely 💖
sunflower seeds are also cool meat alternative (idk if you can be allergic to those)
If it was me I would just add extra lentils to make it more filling
I really love my celery... left on the shelf at the store. I just want others to enjoy them and not because they're the devil's vegetable! 😁😁
I hear celery makes ya smart… or a the very least it helps to lower blood pressure. Thank-you nexusvirture for leaving the celery for me. Happy Thanksgiving from your devilishly smart and heart-healthy 🇨🇦ian friend. WHAT… there is NO celery emoji… I know you’re disappointed, so I’ll substitute these green delights 🥒🥬🥦 instead. Go for green… 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary🍁
@@marycharlebois6627 I'm telling you Emoji Mary! That could be put to the tune of crazy horses! Emoji Mary wirrr wirrr (or however you write that sound). Admit it you just sang it!?!
@@warriormonk2611 Truth… I didn’t sing it because I was laughing too hard 🤣 Gonna go eat some celery 🌿 sticks now with some carrot 🥕 sticks on the side, and maybe also some peanut butter 🥜 on an apple 🍎. Happy Monday and Good Greens to you nexusvirtrurte. Ⓜ️ary
I like that your bowls and kitchen stuff is clean and nice but doesnt match. Feels more like a home, not a studio, that way. More achievable, approachable, doable. Maybe even more sustainable?
In my country we don't have anything resembling vegetable suet. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?
I was thinking I’ll use coconut oil, maybe chilled then blitzed into small pieces in the food processor
It's really just vegetable oil and wheat flour, so you could mix the two together to get a crumbly chunky texture and use that. I might give this a go first to see if it actually works!
@@SustainablyVegan Where do you find Vegetable Suet in the UK? I haven't come across it before but want to try the recipe - love the meal prep video - thanks Immy!
Is there any actual downside to chopping the vegetables in the food processor? You seem not thrilled about doing it, and I wonder if it chops things too fine? Been thinking for awhile about getting one.
Food processors are life savers and time savers too! I don't know why I gave that impression haha they are really great and I think they're the only piece of kitchen equipment that I would recommend to anyone!
@@SustainablyVegan Oooh great, thank you!
🤤🤤🤤
A L i k e 😁👍 for your great Video greets from Germany 🇩🇪 -:*"☘️🍀...
Hold my plastic pre made soup, I’m gonna make this
Does anybody know the german word for "vegetable suet" because i dont know what that is and google translate wont help me with that, it translates to stuff people do not eat at all. Like some kind of dirt🙃
Suet is a hard white fat from an animal. Vegetable suet is an alternative made from refined vegetable oil, usually mixed with four
I wish I could eat onions… sigh… IBS/Fodmap 😅
It’s difficult as I’m a vegan my husband still eats meat xx
I just got a meat commercial before your video… why XD
