My six year old daughter went directly to her room and made some charcuterie boards out of her wooden food toys and cutting boards 😄 wish I could send a pic! We love you guys! Happy holidays!
I love making charcuterie boards, so glad you made a video! Things I include on my board: variety of dips, vegan meats, vegan cheese, variety of nuts, dips, crackers, breads, fruits, veggies, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes,olives, very dark chocolate pieces, etc. Hope this helps anyone who’s looking for ideas!
Hey Derek! You know actually the water of ALL legumes is called aquafaba, not just that of chickpeas. It’s just the one used most often in recipes because its taste is the most neutral one and it sometimes whips up firmer than that of peas or beans for example;) I’ve tried several different bean waters as vegan egg whites and they work totally fine as well. But yeah the name is not exclusive to chickpeas hehe🤗 Merry Xmas💛
Such a fan of you two...you are one “joyous” couple... this was so fun. Loved seeing the board take on a major professional look. You outdid yourselves! 🌟🎄❤️🌟🎄❤️🌟🎄❤️ Merry Christmas 🎁🎄! And thanks for fabulous content throughout the year! 🥳
Have a wonderful Christmas guys. You've been a shining beacon for me this year. Your videos have lifted my mood whenever all this has gotten too much. Love you guys. David B xxxx
Miyoko's is produced same way as regular cheese. She has an amazing cook book on how to make your own. I adapted her oat cheese to make a base for lots of stuff but esp right now, just adding green onions, garlic and onion powder along with vegan Worcester sauce... tastes just like cheese ball dip (if you were a kid and ate cream cheese mixed with cheddar shreds and those spices... you know).
This is wow. 😍 And your styling so beautiful. Have a great holiday. Thanks for all your videos this year and I hope Santa brings you both a food processor.
Wow, that's a spectacular spread! The dill dip looks fantastic. I might add a bit of nooch and maybe it will be like an herbed cheeze dip? Worth a try. Happy holidays to both of you! Thanks for being a bright light during these challenging times.
Dear Santa, All I want for Xmas is smoked tofu😭 Jealous you guys have been able to find some. This board looks amazing! Merry Christmas guys, wishing you both all of the best!❤️
I usually don’t like recommending them but have you checked amazon? I have seen it there a few times. But take a moment during your next shop and ask your shop’s manager to please stock it or stock more as you keep looking and it is never available. If they know they will get sales, they will work to get it for you. Also have you checked online vegan and asian shops? I placed a big order just before Xmas from an Asian market and got smoked tofu, marinated tofus (2 different types of marinade), tofu puffs and some tofu skin as well as a bunch of Asian veggies our local shop doesn’t carry. Good luck with your hunt.
Whenever I'm asked how to change to a vegan diet or people complain it's too hard, I send them to your channel. You show how easy vegan can be, and with a great background in nutrition. And you two are fun! Thanks for much. Happy Holidays for the mountains of rural Virginia.
Lol I caught myself today clicking on your video claiming to my granddaughter ,oh here’s my friends she looked at me crazy in unbelief as how would I know you guys and I thought to myself and explained well, I don’t really know them I just watch them but it gave me such a revelation on how you guys communicate through the camera to not just me but many but I’m sure each person would agree that you are their friends too ! Thanks for being so personable , your friend, melody❤
This plate looks fantastic! I once had a plate like this on a date with a girl, with all sorts of cheeses and fruits and some wine (without meat), it was before being vegan. This plate looks a lot better! You guys are a treat to watch 😊
Merry Christmas 🎄. Love all the vegan holiday editions. Helping me transition to eating more plant based. Love to see some healthy recipes for the new year.
We love you guys. Keep making these videos and being awesome! My wife and I love you guys. We are binge watching your UA-cam videos. We have made so many thing you two make. Yes this is Dereks UA-cam. But it’s nice to see both of you. Derek you are an inspiration man. Thank you.
Growing up in France, I used to go to the Charcuterie to order slices of ham. I did not even know they came from pigs. Same with saucisson, mortadelle, rillettes and so on. Now I know better. This charcuterie board looks so much more inspiring.
I live in BC too, so I actually really appreciate the local shout outs to products. So many other videos I watch are from places where I can't get the products. Merry Christmas you two, hope the holidays treated you well

Thank you for the helpful list of ideas 👏🏾🤗
I would add a small bowl of marinated lentil salad, roasted peppers, rolled up grilled eggplant & zucchini. Great ideas! Merry Christmas!

I was thinking that too.
Yep! It translates to bean water 😊
You guys crack me up! I love that you are honest about the good AND the bad. Nice job on the board! It was beautiful
Ohhhh goodness, thank you so much for sharing such a cute, fun & wholesome time with us. ❤️ much enjoyed!
These dishes look so delicious.
And I adore how you both are so expressive when you taste everything - makes me feel like I’m there in the kitchen.
Yay! That's the hope. Thank you.
Love how you are honest about those turkey slices. Real honesty !!!! That’s how company improve there products . Keep up the good work.
If this whole UA-cam gig doesn't work out, you should consider starting a vegan charcuterie board business, because that tray looks wonderful!
Now that’s a beautiful board of food! Mmmmm...
That looks so good. Thanks for the ideas. I would add some cherry tomatoes for taste and color.

Vegan arnicni balls for a Italian vibe, more sauces and mustard dips for the meat alternatives. Yum!
Dear Santa, All I want for Xmas is smoked tofu😭 Jealous you guys have been able to find some. This board looks amazing! Merry Christmas guys, wishing you both all of the best!❤️
Try your local asian market! I saw it at T & T last weekend. Our grocery stores have been sold out for months.
Haven't been able to find it either. Where did you find it Derek?
