I really dislike the music. I wish she wouldn't. Or at least lower it/reduce it. It's mind-numbingly awful. I actually unsubscribed because of it. Will only see her if RU-vid still recommends or I remember to come lookin. #Audiomatters #RespectTheViewer
Lauren! When you were talking about a cheese sauce, I remembered that I haven't seen anyone use or talk about my method before. It's starting with sauteing garlic with about 2 generous tbsp or more of earth balance, making a roux, then adding a cup of stock, ~2 tbps nutritional yeast, ~1 tbspsmoked paprika (essential), salt and pepper, then whisk until you like the thickness. My meat eating friends said it tastes just like cheese and they adored it. You should give it a try if you haven't tried it before!
The joy on your face when you take your first bite of the salad just makes me so happy. Your food is always amazing and I cannot wait to try this out. Every time I make one of your recipes for my partner who's a meat eater she says "if I could always eat like this, I would be vegan"
I was in a vegan restaurant in Asheville and I got this "fish sandwich" on French bread. It was a lemony quinoa patty wrapped in nori and tempura fried, topped with tartar sauce. Tasted just like fish! It reminded me of something hot for food would do.
I have been doing mushrooms sandwiches similar to this for years and high recommend it. I add vegan cheese to it at the end. but more important I use rum and a rum and raisin bbque sauce... I also add thai coconut seasoning too or sundried tomatoes and summer savory, sage, thyme and celery seed cumin mix... it is all good . using more than one type of mushroom works too. I love it on an Italian or Portuguese toasted bread. I eat these monthly and add to nachos or tacos mmmm heat. yum
OMG! The pulled mushroom sandwiches look AMAZING! And the pasta salad...? Come on now! Who doesn't love some mushroom BBQ with a side of compassionate pasta goodness? I really do admire your ability to create culinary masterpieces on the fly. Hats off to you both. I'm completely addicted to your channel. Keep up the great work!
This is random but I appreciate the sound quality of your videos! Like how I can hear you chopping the ingredients and mixing the sauces, it's satisfying in a weird way 😂😂
I like the video before I even watch it cuz whether it's a good recipe or not--you and John put out REAL content. It's not fake, nothing's perfect or scripted. Love it!
Lauren i love you style of cooking. Probably cause it is also mine. Been vegan 8 years ago while i was pregnant. It was great. I loved it and the doctor (regular one) looked at my menu and agreed to it. Baby was healthy and mama too. But life takes you away sometimes and now, i really want to go back. That is how i found you, and i am pretty sure i am hooked now (i tend to develop dépendance very fast lol). I predict you are going to be my friend for a long time now. haha
To rehydrate dried chickpeas put them on the stove in a pan, add double the amount of water and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Then cover with a tight lid and leave alone on the stove with heat off for 40 to 60 minutes. In the end it will be rehydrated and you can cook it.
I ALWAYS have too many mushrooms in the fridge and this recipe looks like the perfect solution to that problem, can't wait to try it!! you're the bomb Lauren
I SOOO love how Hot for food you really are! Just seeing the sheer joy on your face when you tasted that macaroni salad was awesome! This looked fabulous!
Love this!!! And I love how you see what you have in your fridge & go with that & come up with something. I did that tonight. I had dry red lentils, ginger in the fridge, coconut milk. So I made coconut curried lentil soup. 👍🏻
Oooo I saw a similar recipe a while ago. But it used oyster mushrooms instead. Also they smoked them instead of sautéing them. Also after they were cooked they took a fork and shredded them created the same look as pulled pork.
I'm learning little by little that it's about the bbq sauce not the bbq sauce on the meat. I put bbq sauce on my salad sometimes and it totally satisfies the bbq craving for me.
It's so interesting when other people talk about Philly cheesesteaks when they aren't here hahaha I'm from philly and I never see mushrooms or bell pepper in our cheesesteaks (not that I've eaten one in a while)
That's like sayig a sub isn't a sub if you don't get lettuce on it lol. You can put whatever topping you want on a sandwich it doesn't make it not a Philly cheesesteak just cause there is peppers lmao it's just a topping
Lex Went Vegan I was just commenting that being raised in philly that isn't on a traditional "philly" cheesesteak and it was interesting to hear what other people from different part of the world thought of them. Of course anyone can put any toppings they want on their cheesesteak it's not that deep hahaha
love these videos - hell, love the whole CHANNEL!!! So creative. Please stop eating so loudly into the mic though girl! It drives some of us insane lol! Keep up the amazing vegan recipes, I've followed along a few times and they are always crowd pleasers :)
Lauren!! can you make / do you have a list of food items, like spices and flours, nuts, etc.. that you always have and feel they're kind of a cooking essential? if so. what are they! :)
I looooooove your videos!! Stunning and creative and helpful!! One suggestion I would make is it either get a sponger cover for the mike so close to your mouth, or just not use one as the sounds of the you chewing are a little bit off putting for me, and I know your previous videos didn't have such a strong mike so close to the mouth.. This is only my 2 cents worth and you can discard this comment haha, either either way your cooking channel is stunning and I'm a huge fan!!
Not sure if you're still checking the comments or you just like to really awkwardly unwrap cucumber but if not I have some advice XD I gently run a sharp knife down most of the length of the packaging I want to take off then it pretty much peels like a banana. Good luck with your future cucumbers!
I made both of these for Memorial Day (obviously a little different because I was making mine up as I went along as well) and some Chocolate Peanut butter avocado pudding! My family loved my macaroni salad and said they would have never guessed it was vegan. I also had vegan coconut cool whip for on top of the pudding. It was all so delicious. I did a kale slaw on top of my pulled mushroom sandwich. I'd love to try yours and taste the difference. It looked soooo good!
Oh Lauren, I love you RECIPE?! videos :) I really like how you say it :)) I'll definitely try this one out, but maybe with crumbled cheese :) P.s. How you chew :)) it's so funny :)
I'm not sure where the pepper in philly cheesesteak came from, but that isn't how people eat it here in philly. its just meat/meat substitute with onions and melted cheese on a long sandwich roll. they do serve pickled hot cherry peppers on the side though. with that being said, BBQ is the way to go this time of year.
Btw it looks like the pasta or macoroni has the little icon where it says it won't stick that is such an awesome thing if it's still just as healthy since it comes out of the cookware clean more where it needs to go as Nourishment. Plus makes cleanup way more efficient as well.
Hey, do you guys put captions on your newer vids? I always appreciated that about your channel because I'm hard of hearing and can still watch your videos :)
