Hi Rachel! Thanks for comparing the two loafs. Nice job! There is a third option, containing no nuts, soy or seitan: It’s a Lentil Loaf. I serve mine with gravy, mashed potatoes, roasted veg and cranberry or lingonberry sauce. It contains lentils, onion, celery, carrot and all the typical fall herbs, like sage, rosemary and thyme. There’s a great recipe by Nini Girl on UA-cam, Rachel, called Thanksgiving Lentil-Mushroom Loaf. Maybe you’ll like it, too. It’s more like a meatloaf texture, and it tastes great with mushroom gravy.
Hi thanks for suggesting nini girl. I just looked at her recipe and it looked fabulous, so she has another subscriber thanks to you 😊 have a great Xmas 💖💚🌱🌍
You're recipe sounds better. She didn't taste her food either. I love Nini girls recipes. There's also the gentle chef who makes a Succulent Turkey recipe on UA-cam with a gravy recipe. 😊✌🎄
My Christmas Day menu is as follows: Lunch : homemade tomato soup, avocado, banana, whole meal toast and humous. Dinner: chick pea and chestnut pasta in a hot lentil sauce, with potato and spinach, vegan chocolate cookie. Hot water throughout
I made the nut roast for Christmas. The flavors were amazing. I did leave the cranberries out since I don’t always care for them. I would recommend adding a binder such as a flax egg. It crumbled as I served it. Went great with vegan mashed potatoes and gravy! Will definitely make again!
Hi Rachel. I just wanted to thank you. I decided to go vegan like 2 months ago and your videos and your recipes really inspire me and motivate stay vegan and going on too. I learned to cook such amazing things these last 2 months, really, I never thought eating vegan could be soooo delicious. I am telling this to my friends all the time when they ask what I do eat now. I am also gluten intolerant and not really a soy fan and you always propose a lot of recipes ideal for gluten intolerant people. Thank you so so so much for helping me stay vegan. I am already excited for the new receipes I will discover and hope your channel will last forever. I wish you wonderful holidays full of flavours. Big hug. :)
I discovered an amazing chickpea loaf recipe that made thanksgiving and Christmas so much easier for me this year! Three non- vegans tried it and all liked the taste, although two of them said they didn't care for the texture.
rachel you're my GIRL! this christmas will be my first winter one so i'm used to have salads and lots of summery food for christmas lunch but this has made me so excited to cook a yummy roast! thanks so much for the recipes. and i just wanna say i love the effort that you put in to include everyones different ways of living and dietary requirements. e.g. not using oil, allergic to nuts, coeliac, not using soy, and even 'merry christmas if you celebrate christmas.' you are so lovely and i'm sure a heap of people appreciate it. hope you have a wonderful holiday! Xx
Yees thank youu now I know what I'm making for my first vegan Christmas feast ! Definitely going for the nut roast, never tried seitan and it looks amazing but I just don't love vegan food that tries too hard to look like meat. More often than not the taste doesn't live up to the expectation. Plus it's basically pure gluten, can't be great for the stomach. Vegetables is where it's at !
I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I love it! You seem to be such a funny cool person and your recipes are exactly what I was always looking for. I can't only do the avocado toast stuff. And please show us how to make the potatoes! Mine never brown so nicely!
You are such a beautiful girl Rachel. I feel the same about this Christmas. I'm thinking I'll just have the veg and potatoes with loads of gravy. WHO KNOWS???? X
Got to be one of the most beautiful chefs I have ever seen.......Must say I am going to try your recipes to see if I can manage without meat in my diet for a day at least....
I’m currently making the Seitan loaf and I cannot wait to taste the finished product. Smells so good cooking in my kitchen! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Should have taken the veggies u made to make the gravy for the 1st recipe blitzed it in blender with more of those dry mushrooms and chickpea flour to bind and put that into a loaf 😉
This was great; I have family coming to me for Christmas and I was thinking of making a roasted cauliflower but they may like the seitan I have to test it out on a friend first to see if they like it before I make it for my family.
I am so glad I watched this video. I have wanted to make seitan but didn't like the idea of wrapping it in baking paper and foil as some recipes call for. I love the idea of basting it over time. It looks fantastic!
My transition to be vegan has been a wonderful Journey because of you and your flavorful recipes I will continue to watch you and continue to get recipes so that I'll have something to eat I absolutely love your recipes and although I'm not 100% vegan I only eat 10 maybe 5% animal products my goal is this year to be at 0
Happy Holidays to you also. Love your videos! LOL I knew it. I am new to Vegan eating but I am going to try the Seitan because I have a husband that has been use to meat and this will be his first Christmas not eating meat.
Love love love your channel. I am not vegan and not even fully vegetarian (yet), but watching you cook inspires me! Great personality sells your fantastic recipes. I also just got your book and will be surely cooking up a storm 😜. Merry Christmas Rachel!
Potatoes (sweet, Yukon, russet, red bliss, baked, roasted, mashed, fried, smothered, au gratin etc 🥰❗️...I can eat potatoes with dirt😋🥰☺️ 🤸🏿♂️❗️ ...Your “nut roast” is my dressing recipe less apples and cornbread. ...Yummy😋🤣❗️meanwhile the seitan roast looks really good. But I probably would prepare it. I usually make either veg meatless ball/meatloaf/sausage with my seitan. For Christmas though, I make a pasta dish (vegetable lasagna, stuffed shells or penne in vodka sauce), sides, salad home made garlic bread, sweet potato cheesecake, short bread cookies and a cake (family choice). My goodness, I hungry (again)🤣❗️
me: "yeah she's definitely picking the nut roast. I know her... or maybe she's trying to surprise us?! ...nope. look at all those leeks she put in there. yeah, she's going for the nut roast."
Hi again I'm not good with gluten, so I prefer the nut roast 😋😃👍🏼 It looks delicious 😋🤗👍🏼 Thanks again!!!. You could maybe try Black beans, beetroot, and red kidney beans together, instead of these two options, btw. I would love if you tried making a video on that option some day!😃👍🏼 I loved the gravy recipe, as well, I will try that!😍👍🏼!. Thanks again, and Merry Christmas 🎁🎄❤️
Is there anything you'd suggest to use instead of nuts in the nut roast for a similar result? Allergic to nuts and struggling with what to make for Christmas haha
Susan Malaika yeah, i thought about that too. I personally like the taste, but I’ve not tried baking with it...so i couldn’t suggest it. But hey, lentil is always fantastic.
Both look so Yum! Why did you say celery is in the same family as Alliums like leeks and onions though? I think celery is in the carrot fam. Do you just mean how well they go together? A bit like yummy Italian soffritto? Thanks. Love your recipes!
Thank you for your recipes both look delicious. I am going to make the Nut Roast for my family Christmas Dinner. I have a question, re chestnuts, I live in a country town in Melbourne Australia and they are no where to be found, what can I use to substitute them????
I work at a bookstore and every time people ask me about vegan or plant based recipes, I give them your book! Sold on today!!!
your videos literally wanna make me get up and start cooking a whole meal in the middle of the night
Love your videos am learning more and more from your recipes. 🤗
Me too! It’s 3am and I wanna go make some Christmas food hahah
glossie NOOO, DON’T DO IT! lol
But I’m tempted as well, even when i know i don’t have the ingredients.
Lol I've tried her meals an they are so good even when I mess up its great she is just awsome!!!!
glossie lmao yes 😂😂😂

Sounds great
Woah that sounds really good 😍
Or use seeds

When I see people like you, I still have hope in society.
😂😂😂
Why? She promotes malnutrition.
My Christmas Day menu is as follows:
Lunch : homemade tomato soup, avocado, banana, whole meal toast and humous.
Dinner: chick pea and chestnut pasta in a hot lentil sauce, with potato and spinach, vegan chocolate cookie.
Hot water throughout
R M Well, anonymous coward if you can tell me how it is any of your business I’ll tell you
I'm stealing dinner idea 😍🤤
I did the nut roast for Christmas dinner. It was fantastic. My cousin said it was the best Christmas dinner he had ever had. Thanks Rachel.

Nut roast looks amazing! You make cooking look so easy! Luv it!
Your cooking skills are amazing.

“I’m just gonna call it a bad boy right now” idk why that was so funny to me 😂😂😂😂
I LIKE IT
rachel you're my GIRL! this christmas will be my first winter one so i'm used to have salads and lots of summery food for christmas lunch but this has made me so excited to cook a yummy roast! thanks so much for the recipes. and i just wanna say i love the effort that you put in to include everyones different ways of living and dietary requirements. e.g. not using oil, allergic to nuts, coeliac, not using soy, and even 'merry christmas if you celebrate christmas.' you are so lovely and i'm sure a heap of people appreciate it. hope you have a wonderful holiday!

The Nut Roast was definitely a winner! Very delicious.
Love this idea of having them compete against each other! I like them both, all depends on what I'm feeling that day.
The reason i love your videos so so much: original as hell recipies
Damn I just did this whole thing. Needed a day to make that, but worth it😭😍❤️
Yes please do a roast potato video
Will try the nut roast. Your gravy is awesome! Thanks
Great video super informative about the little details of plant based cooking and the importance of LOTS of black pepper xd
Yees thank youu now I know what I'm making for my first vegan Christmas feast ! Definitely going for the nut roast, never tried seitan and it looks amazing but I just don't love vegan food that tries too hard to look like meat. More often than not the taste doesn't live up to the expectation. Plus it's basically pure gluten, can't be great for the stomach. Vegetables is where it's at !
Your meals, channel and atmosphere create a new fresh idea in a tumultuous world. Thank you.
I don't eat either. I do like lentil loaf! Also, navy bean or black beans make a good loaf.
This looks absolutely exquisite!!!!!!
I had hoped you like the seitan a lot more but that's okay. You really look like a great chef either way. Merry Christmas!
I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I love it! You seem to be such a funny cool person and your recipes are exactly what I was always looking for. I can't only do the avocado toast stuff. And please show us how to make the potatoes! Mine never brown so nicely!
Everything looks Beautiful and Delicious, very Healthy Recipes and thanks for sharing!🤗😊❤❤
Passionate art in our kitchen.
That roast looks incredible!
The nut roast definitely! It looks so flavorful and tasty!
The roast seitan will actually have a better texture if you make it 2 to 3 days in advance!
What is the best way to reheat it on the day?
LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not a vegan, but I really love your recipes and will try it. The nut roast looks really delicious. Thanks a lot for all the inspiration. 😘
Everything looks delicious and mouth-watering, well done dear Rachel. Hail Seitan :D You earned my subscription with this video
You are such a beautiful girl Rachel.
I feel the same about this Christmas. I'm thinking I'll just have the veg and potatoes with loads of gravy. WHO KNOWS???? X
Got to be one of the most beautiful chefs I have ever seen.......Must say I am going to try your recipes to see if I can manage without meat in my diet for a day at least....
I’ll try both❤😂 Thank you for the ideas❤
They both looked great.
I’m currently making the Seitan loaf and I cannot wait to taste the finished product. Smells so good cooking in my kitchen! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Omg your seitan looked delicious though 😍
Should have taken the veggies u made to make the gravy for the 1st recipe blitzed it in blender with more of those dry mushrooms and chickpea flour to bind and put that into a loaf 😉
This was great; I have family coming to me for Christmas and I was thinking of making a roasted cauliflower but they may like the seitan I have to test it out on a friend first to see if they like it before I make it for my family.
Yayy I have been eagerly waiting for this video! I will absolutely be making one of these for my families vegan Christmas dinner😍
thanks for this! already tried the nut roast last week. going to try the Seitan this week to see which one we prefer for the big day
I agree with you ... nut roast over seitan roast every time!
Hi . I tried remaking the nutroast and gravy for Christmas dinner yes.ter.day.! Mannnn! It was a hit!!! Thank you!
I am so glad I watched this video. I have wanted to make seitan but didn't like the idea of wrapping it in baking paper and foil as some recipes call for. I love the idea of basting it over time. It looks fantastic!
Wow! That seitan loaf is amazing!🤩
My transition to be vegan has been a wonderful Journey because of you and your flavorful recipes I will continue to watch you and continue to get recipes so that I'll have something to eat I absolutely love your recipes and although I'm not 100% vegan I only eat 10 maybe 5% animal products my goal is this year to be at 0
Wow beautiful recipes as always, thank you so much! you're the best Rachel! 😘
The food 😍 I'm still deciding what I want to cook for Christmas this year, I love all things plants😍
If you are allergic to nuts use seeds sunflower and pumpkin for example
Everything is so aesthetical, everything and everyone in this video....
Happy Holidays to you also. Love your videos! LOL I knew it. I am new to Vegan eating but I am going to try the Seitan because I have a husband that has been use to meat and this will be his first Christmas not eating meat.

*I’m not vegan but I am soooo intrigued by this seitan « meat » right now*
A nut and gluten free recipe would be amazing!!!
You right on time !! WOOT WOOT 😃😃
Subscribed today! I appreciate your passion, candor and thoughtfulness. Cheers to a healthier 2020!👩🍳💕🥘
When you finally come across some nice vegan recipes, but they all look too good and pretty to be eaten!
Hi again
I'm not good with gluten, so I prefer the nut roast 😋😃👍🏼
It looks delicious 😋🤗👍🏼
Thanks again!!!.
You could maybe try Black beans, beetroot, and red kidney beans together, instead of these two options, btw. I would love if you tried making a video on that option some day!😃👍🏼
I loved the gravy recipe, as well, I will try that!😍👍🏼!.
Thanks again, and Merry Christmas 🎁🎄❤️
That meat loaf wow or ribs wow 😳😲💡 bravo bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This was amazingly good, thank you so much Rachel! Probably the best Christmas meal I've ever eaten!
I love it!!! TKS FOR SHARE
Great!
Those are good ideas for my next Christmas Dinner. You're gorgeous, lady 💜
Notification Squad!!!🙋🏾♀️💜 I sooo Love your Recipe's .😋👍🏾✔
Looks amazing!!! I think I may go for the nut roast.
What lipstick are you wearing please? I really love the colour.
I love your recipes but can you suggest a substitute for miso paste which is extremely high in sodium some brands are over 10,000 mg per serving.
Something to consider, organic nuts are expensive here in the US. Gluten flour goes soooooo far. But these both look exceptional..🤤
Is there anything you'd suggest to use instead of nuts in the nut roast for a similar result? Allergic to nuts and struggling with what to make for Christmas haha
Have you tried seeds like -sesame- and pumpkin (roasted)? Are you allergic to those as well?
Edit: i meant Sunflower seeds.
Lentil roast!
Susan Malaika yeah, i thought about that too. I personally like the taste, but I’ve not tried baking with it...so i couldn’t suggest it. But hey, lentil is always fantastic.
Would the nut roast be ok to make the day before? Or should it be done as fresh as possible?
I love your bowl
Both look so Yum! Why did you say celery is in the same family as Alliums like leeks and onions though? I think celery is in the carrot fam. Do you just mean how well they go together? A bit like yummy Italian soffritto? Thanks. Love your recipes!
I am GASSSEDD to try this out👏🏽😭
Love this channel!!! Love the book!
I'm gonna try the nut roast!
How she said “nut roast “ I think 🤔 she is doing the nut roast .... 😂. It looks fabulous 🙌🏻❤️🎄
Usually have a wellington style thing with different mushrooms stuffing cranberries etc
I make a lentil, walnut, and mushroom loaf. It's WAY too good and I eat it all in one sitting
keto cycler lentils, walnuts and mushrooms? Fake?😂
Great Job! Loved this video :) Great quality and I like your informative information regarding the foods your using
I love your cookbook, everything so far is delicious! 🌱💕
I loved both, so Christmas Dinner will be a Vegan Feast. Thsnk you
You rock. Love your style my girl.😗
The seitan one is 🤩🤩
Thank you for your recipes both look delicious. I am going to make the Nut Roast for my family Christmas Dinner. I have a question, re chestnuts, I live in a country town in Melbourne Australia and they are no where to be found, what can I use to substitute them????
Could you also use arrowroot powder? I would definitely go with the nut roast myself, but I haven’t eaten seitan yet.
This is making my mouth water, i wish you were cooking my Xmas dinner lol x
Aw please make My Christmas dinner and I've never wanted to eat my phone so much. Lol your food looks so tasty!!!
Wondering if I can make the Seitan roast in my crock pot?
Girl, those potatoes... They look perfect!
Edit: just subscribed!
What kind of blender do you have? I need a new good blender!
