Thanks for being kind.
I swear if you ever made a video that was just you clacking the tongs I would watch it 😂. Thank you so much, Derek, for inviting us into your kitchen and giving us a tour. Give Frankie an extra smooth from me ❤
He could do a live stream. every £ donated, another minute of clacking!
@@Horraywoo❤😂😂
Ha! I totally agree! It's weirdly soothing. : )
Asmr tong clacking 😆
😂 100%. He’s truly a musician with that!
Derek this post is a keeper. My only quibble living in Canada is keep pantry items including frozen foods, as necessary. I live near an Asian market so very lucky indeed. My family always cooked so a grateful recipient. Am dealing with cancer at the moment; Kiwi the wonder dog gets me out every day I love her more than words can say. .... I do have an Instant pot to make beans, vegan yoghurt etc. and now trying to make kimchi at home, wish me luck, you are a very good man indeed.
Real simple for me. I see a notification for Derek‘s video. I click it. I watch. I like. Life is good! ❤
Yep!
Something Derek didn’t mention in his video, probably because he's quite modest, is that the book he wrote is the most organized and comprehensive guide on vegan cooking I've ever come across. It includes an extensive section on all the utensils Derek uses, as well as separate sections for essential cooking elements like sauces and bases. I received my copy as a birthday gift five years ago, and after going through several other vegan cookbooks since then, I must say it's the best and most complete vegan cookbook out there. Do yourself a favor and get it!
Aw thank you so much for reading it
My favorite dog and man to watch. Because im Vegan ❤
Same here.
The mushrooms look amazing❤
I wish we had good mushrooms here in Mexico. We have creminis, portabellos and insipid looking flavorless oyster mushrooms. I would kill for some King Oyster mushrooms. I do have a pretty good pantry though and it’s taken me months to find the things I need to stay vegan. I make my own vegan butter (none available here), soy unsweetened yogurt (none available), vegan pepperoni and bacon. We do get Beyond things, extremely expensive though.
King Oyster is my favorite but hard to find in NC
Omg loooved this one! Very special ❤I am cooking so much more creatively thanks to your inspiration 🎉
Thanks for sharing
I always look forward to your videos, whether they’re cooking or not. I appreciate these little community building ones, thanks for always keeping it real.
Thanks so much for inviting us into your kitchen. Always looking forward to the next one.
I grate leftover cucumbers I can't finish in time and freeze them so I can have fresh tzatziki any time so long as I have yogurt on hand.
For mushrooms I can't finish in time, I let some of them airdry to make into a powder and the rest I freeze for meals that don't require the mushroom to have texture like soups or risotto
Smart!
Frankie reminds me of Rudy my sweet ,smart lab ..He used to pick tomato and green beans from my garden a long time ago. I could go on and on .. Sweet soul
If I don’t plan out my meals for at least the next couple days I will not be eating as healthy as I want. Looking forward to a sourdough video. This was great. Have a good weekend Derek.
This was fantastic! Thanks for the deep dive into the space, Derek!
I might have been the last person to become acquainted with your culinary history and experiences, better late than never. They say that when the student is ready, the teacher appears. Looking forward to learning about great vegan cooking and lifestyle.
Beautiful photography! I so appreciate learning from you and being inspired- so thanks for that. Also, 💋 😘 for Ms. Frankie.❤
That was just a super fun one! Especially the tongs. I also like the sound of you cutting things up.......And camping is the BEST....Just turned my 4Runner into a camper! Hugs to you and Miss Frankie! Thank you! 💚
Best way... "Making it myself." AMEN, Brother!
Great post, plant based living makes me happy.
You’re absolutely right about surrounding yourself with good Whole Foods, but when the other half of your family eats CRAP FOOD , the temptation is still there.
i'm grateful my family buys non-vegan junk, helps me stay away from it 😭
Because of you I went out and bought the exact same twelve inch tongs. The spring is a little tight yet, but I assume over time I will be knocking out the tunes oncce I break them in. I love all these tips. They've taken my skill and efficiency to the next level. Have a great weekend Cuz!
Great kitchen tips! Thank you for not cooking today and driving my taste buds wild with envy!😂 ❤Love to Miss Frankie ❤ 🐕
Thanks for the look at your kitchen.
What spices do you routinely keep on hand?
I would love for you to show us how you keep your knives sharp.
I like your idea of keeping everything in plain sight, so that you don’t forget what you have to use.
I hope you and Frankie get to live in a camper or van one day. It’s a very appealing life, especially living in Europe.
You are so organized!! I love it! Great must haves in the kitchen! ❤
Oh yeah. Ive been feeling the need to go super fresh for a while.
The best
Future is Vegan.😊🌱Frenky you❤
Dear Derek,
I haven't cooked any of your meals yet, but as a passionate hobby cook, and a vegeterian, tending to be more and more vegan in the future, you really make a big gamechange in making amazing foods for me!
I really looking forward, wich impact it'll have to me and espeacially all my omnivore familymembers and friends, when i'll have the pleasure to invite them to an amazing culinary journey inspired by you.
Thank you for your work, sharing and passion, to bring love and health and light in this world, by such a delicious way.
Kind regards from Bavaria 🫡
Thank you Derek! Nice to see the surrounding area where you live and the market where you shop. I'm curious if you use the juicing pulp in any recipes? Do you ever use a dehydrator for anything? My fridge door is so full of condiments that I might use a few times before they unfortunately go bad. A homemade condiment video would be so cool so viewers can make small batch recipes instead of the jars that are too big to use in the short expiration window once they're open. Thanks for everything you're doing to help make us all better home cooks. And thank you for sharing sweet Frankie with all of us. She's very special.❤
I love fruit! I love vegies! Fruit is so expensive that I can't buy it, every so often I buy ONE apple or one pear and so on. Thank goodness frozen vegies are inexpensive. Peppers are anywhere from $1.39 to $2.00 EACH! These are a luxury. Today I made a broccoli and tofu stew with greek seasoning. In the winter, I put in potatoes and carrots. My best to you and Frankie.
My go to juice is carrot beet apple. How is your Pup? Both my Labs have Giardiasis, fun… - Eric.
Do you cook every day, or do you cook for a few days in advance? You have so much stuff in your fridge. :)
Both! All of the above
Hi Derek, thank you for your video ❤. Oooooh I have similar ingredients to you, so I must be on the right track. Utensils too, except I don't have iron pans. (yet). I enjoy making pastries, cakes and bread so hard to cut back. Ooooh and pasta definitely a, winner. Thank you for sharing. Kind regards Gale x PS love Frankie's voice overs. Xxx
Thanks for watching Gale
Thank you. My camp kitchen is also a replication of my home stuff. I also bought a Kazan recently for camping, an Afghan pressure cooker for using over a fire, total game changer for cooking dried beans at camp. Love and hugs as always to Frankie x
I agree need to have good food around otherwise I eat junk. Just wondering if you meal prep? If you do would love to see video with your take on this. Love your videos!
This was fun! I’m going to start practicing with my tongs now.
I'm so looking forward to the "spice it up" video...... Making spices from scratch!! Yes please! 💜🥰📤🙏🏾💐
This was great! I'm always careful about buying unnecessary kitchen "gadgets" (more to clean) so I was pleased to see I pretty much duplicate the basic equipment you have and I tend to only use the same few cooking utensils/pots in my vegan kitchen. Wish list: a better quality chef's knife, wood cutting board and stand mixer (I do like baking and making bread). Also, our fridge and pantry items are pretty much identical. For me, that's reassuring as I work towards being a better vegan cook. Your videos are certainly helping with that process. Hello Frankie *smooch* 💚
I try so hard to be absolutely healthy. But, alas, life. Right now, heat is happening and so does a beer. But watching you and several other vegan friends, you keep me on track.
Cuando suenas las tenazas parecen castañuelas españolas me gusta tu cocina y tu jardín de hierbas gracias por compartir
Loved the tour of your kitchen..especially your fridge! thank you
my version of surrounding myself with good healthy things is watching a derek sarno video every day
(i mean i also eat plants)
In the process of transitioning back to plant based eating from a mostly vegetarian diet to support my mental and physical health during early menopause. From past experience during nutrition school, I never had more energy than when I cut out animal foods. It's time to be kind to my body again. Love your content and approach.
So happy I discovered your videos. You make food I know I can cook as well. Thank you!
Love the genuine self, and I love the 80/20 guideline! Just made the "ranch" and "BBQ" Beasts and they are flippin' dope, brother!
king of everything vegan and lovely!! fav youtube channel 🥹🤎✨
So glad to see that I have many of the same kitchen tools that you have. Makes me realize i'm on the right track. Now I just have to watch your videos So I can cook like you do!❤❤❤
Very helpful! Thank you, Derek. The array of possible equipment to buy can be overwhelming.
Love this and looking forward to the upcoming flavour building vids 😊🙏🏽🐾 oh and feel free to pop over to Belfast and cook in my house 😁
Thank you! Will do!
NICE BABY BOY - keep it up. I like what I hear. Awareness is rising up. I’ll keep believing.
Derek and Frankie. You two are very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge. Would love advice on the best way to try cooked mushrooms? Can do raw on a salad 😊 Thanks have an awesome weekend. 🎉
Got a whole mushroom playlist on here 👍
Oh, noooooo! 😮 It’s the dreaded Grocer's Apostrophe! Right there in your thumbnail! I love you, Derek, but friends don’t let friends use The Grocer's Apostrophe. 😂 P.S. But, really, I am thrilled to see another video from you! Thanks for keeping on! ❤
No comment about unhyphenated compound adjective?
Thank you for being you !
My pleasure!
Frankie is one lucky dog!!!
I found your channel maybe a couple weeks ago and it's been really helpful and calming for me. I appreciate your great recipes and personality, and bits of wisdom and vegan encouragement.
I'm on a budget but you've shown me great ways to work with tofu and to think creatively with plants to make something nourishing and enjoyable. I'll be moving away from home soon and I think this video will come in handy, setting up my kitchen :)
All the best to you and Frankie
Early morning inspiration! I love your kitchen. I made a ribollita in my instant pot last night with homemade vegan Parmesan, it was so yummy! I’m trying to be more plant based and watching you is the best education.
Derek Thanks for all you do. Thanks for this video. You know what? I am finding myself down the rabbit hole of just the sweets and the pastas. And I was actually doing really good from January to current and I fell back into this little rabbit hole so this little video has been a little pick me up and a little inspiration to get me back on track. Thank you because I always do try to do the 80/20 method myself but I just kind Of fell off the wagon there for a little bit. So here I go back on. Thank you, Derek for this video and on another note I have always Been interested in Van life like I think that would be so cool just to see the world and see different places. And you know, just experience new things like that. Thank you 🙏✌️🤟
It should be noted, you look 🔥just as you are! Thanks for all the cool videos you do--England looks so chill.
So nice to see a video like this from you. Would love to see some of your garden stuff to. Your honestly and keeping it real is refreshing. 😊 always look forward to them
Even in the first few moments of this video, I could totally relate to you! I'm big on juicing (even though I don't post videos on it as much), but I liked this whole video! Very helpful. Just subbed :)
that knife is so beautiful! Loved this kitchen tour. I just started my cooking journey since I moved out. My vitamix is so well loved. Also my toaster oven.
This was a fun and informative video. Thank you for taking your day to do it and help us with your talent and experience.
My son will be a college freshman. He enjoys your videos, so with your recommendations, I am going to purchase these essentials as a way to help him on his journey. Many thanks.
Well that was fun. Now I'll be saving up for a titanium deep saute pan. Good idea about wrapping up the sharpening stone. Make a video about sharpening knives and double your following (I'm not kidding). Happy 'Be Kind' Day😊😊🐾🍒🍏🧅🌶️🧄🧄🧄🔪
Every video is so inspiring. Barely ever use my mortar & pestle but you've got me rearing to go try out some exotic new recipes on it!
Thank you 🔥
Great video as always. I wish I could get that kind of self-discipline around food buying, food prep. I've been meaning to make the spice mixes for weeks now. You and Frankie make a great team.
Thank you for this inspiring video! I just joined a CSA, and am very excited to have a kitchen full of gorgeous, direct-from-the-farm Oregon produce for the next 6 weeks. Time to sharpen the knives and find some recipes (starting with this channel)!
Derek, such a fun video, it was nice to see you outside of the kitchen for a bit and the beautiful area you live in. I enjoyed the tour of your kitchen, very organized and I love how everything has its own place. Thank you, I definitely need to get a nice cutting board for sure and the tong clacking? Um, I am too uncoordinated and would probably take an eye out just trying it! 🤣 Thanks for sharing!
Love ya'll. I loved this video. I would appreciate a slower version. Perhaps a pantry tour of what's in all those bulk spice containers. A full video on using your mortar and pestle with spices, etc. A knife sharpening video would be great. I have more ideas, but this is enough for now.
Peace be with you.
you can slow the video down in "settings"
Absolutely adore the Hestan NanoBond Essential pan. I have both sizes, but use the 5 quart almost every day.
I have the 80, 20 rule too lol. Van life would be a dream come true for me as well. Love you guys!! 🙏🏼💗
I love your videos. Also...the echinacea shot at the beginning was beautiful. It's my fav plant!
Derek, how did you find the energy or strength to cook at home after coming back from your kitchens? I work long shifts at my vegan bakery and struggle to stand when I'm home. Cooking for myself is really a challenge.
Please make a video on beginner knife skills! 😎
I would love a more detailed video on how you clean your cutting boards. I have a big and a small board and I tend to use the smaller one more often simply because I can rinse it under water although I would like to use the bigger one more.
Soapy water
Fantastic inspiring video. It's so interesting resting to see how you keep on top of things. I try the same approach to just have the healthy stuff in but I have two adult sons who dont like veg despite my efforts to encourage them and they still buy junk food. Looking forward to the flavour building video too. 💚🌿🌱
Perfect. I can't wait till you are in a van and cooking in small spaces. 👍
The kitchen inspiration I definitely needed today. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us non pro in training tong “clackers” 😅
I just found your channel and I’m hooked. Thank you very much for sharing!
Tongs King! I also use an Adidas backpack for grocery shopping
This vid is really informative and very useful, dry towels over oven mitts always, thank you brother, much love ❤️
I want some copper pots! I realize my kitchen is really lacking lol. I think I’ll ask for a cast iron skillet for Christmas. That titanium pot looks special! I like the idea of having a lot of fruit on hand. I’m really struggling with my addiction to sugar. Looking forward to more videos! 🤗 Please don’t move into a van! 😅
What I loved about this video was that it was really... not a shocker. I think people think you have to have all these special ingredients, equipment, etc. to eat vegan and it's really quite straightforward: know your flavour-layering techniques. Always look forward to your videos! P.S. Just bought my kid a copy of your book. She's been trying to eat more plant-based and is super-creative in the kitchen. Thought she'd appreciate your style. : )
Great video! I need a new cutting board so I appreciate the tip on the wood grain facing up.
Just perfect! I’m gonna try and be as organised as you! 🙏😬🥰🥰
Wonderful ! Thank you. Love the knife, will have to get one.
hey derek, thank you for the cooking inspo! and your video vibe is calming. i feel like a better person after watching
Hello Derek! Another wonderful video. I was going to question you about the tongs and the way you make the noise with them 😊 so signature to you. I'm always learning great things from you. Thanks again, and have a great weekend.
We finally figured out the Tongs technique! Thanks for the vid as always Derek
Yep, that's what I try to do, surround myself with healthy food and do my best not to bring the junk food in. Of course I cave when I'm out and about but my goal is to do my best at home. Hey, have you ever thought of playing wooden spoons? You'd probably do well. I used to perform bluegrass and folk music locally and sometimes people would play the spoons. It was really cool watching them! Anyway, enjoy your weekend!!
This is exactly the video I was JUST wondering about when I started making all your nutritional yeast blends, then I was like... shit... I have no idea what to store them in! Very helpful video, my next focus is how to stay ahead of spoilage so I minimize waste, still need to work on that one! As always, thanks for what you are doing.... The English Breakfast this morning was SPOT ON!
Your videos are instant mood enhancers for me! 😍 Thank you for the great work you do!
I'm so glad!
Great information. Thanks for sharing
your videos are a joy and very helpful!
Wonderful update! I bought that same cutting board so I could be like you😊lol…it’s a great cutting board!
Thanks Chef. This was very helpful. I will get some of those items you mentioned that I still don't have. Thanks so much for explaining the trick about the cutting board. I've been using it based on what I've seen you doing. So I guess, I've been paying attention. 😅
I read once that dogs think we can understand their needs with only eye to eye communication. I thought "wow, what an amazing relationship. What an honor to have that kind of understanding" yet not everyone gets it. But you do Derek, and so does my animal loving vegan family! Animals are my favorite people, but dogs are my best friends! And your honesty is so refreshing. I would say I'm shocked you are single... except I have 2 grown sons who are amazing humans (with dogs and cats) who are single, for good reasons. ❤
Cats use mind control.
Thank you for mentioning the Heston pan. That is the one I was wondering about 😁
You inspired me to finally make the juices I promised myself! Sicilian from Kris Carr's Crazy Juice, my version of a kale tonic, and a beet, carrot, apple, lemon & ginger combo...so good!
Thank you for this! I learn so much from your videos 😊
Thanks for covering this. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by all of the equipment “experts” say is needed. I like keeping it simple and practical. And, of course, cast-iron is a big part of that and has been most of my life. Cheers.
Derek, I love all your videos, you're so great at what you do!! I also admire your chopping skills :-) Can you please make a video on how to select a good knife, how to take care of knives and some cutting techniques and how to learn it? thank you so much and keep on being amazing :)
