Your positive and friendly personality makes your videos stand out from the all the rest. You’ve inspired me to go nuts in the kitchen and I’ve never enjoyed cooking so much !!!!

  • @laurawinger4339 says:

    Why are there not more comments about your magical onion chopping technique!!??

    These all look awesome but I LOVE creamy sauces made from beans so I’ve got that mushroom option high on my list.

  • @awanderingdream2093 says:

    Hi, lovely couple ❤. I discovered you guys a few weeks ago and since there is not a day I am going without couples of your videos. Trying to catch up for all those years of fun, positive energy and adventure. Thanks for being there for those who needs you 🥰

  • @amyjacob2100 says:

    I’m with you on no patience to let spaghetti noodles soften. I always break mine too. “Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.” Love that! 😂

  • @katerinaleoudi8801 says:

    Hallo from Germany!
    I really loved the idea of combining mushrooms with beans for a creamy sauce. Thank you for another helpful video.

  • @rowenaanderson3739 says:

    So happy to see a video from you this morning. I said goodbye to my second dog in 3 weeks yesterday. I need your positivity. Thank you.

  • @nathaliecouture4059 says:

    All three recipes look very good! Thank you, you are the best as always! Love your channel.

  • @starrdark says:

    Ciao! Italian gramma here, with a tip for you.😊 When adding the long spaghetti or linguini pasta to the broth, go slowly. Hold a small handful of noodles at one end and swirl the opposite end in the boiling broth. As the noodles soften and bend, swirl them around the pot until you can drop them from your hand. Repeat with the rest of the noodles. 🤗

    • @ridefree9160 says:

      Some people like to break their pasta. I know I do. Everyone is different in that area

    • @dustyoldhat says:

      Thanks for the tip nonna, I will try that next time for spaghetti italian style for sure. But for an Asian dish I will eat with chopsticks I think breaking the pasta is the way to go!

  • @Applefan101 says:

    Love all the recipe this guy makes. Thanks.

  • @alisonbrown6441 says:

    Thanks for the recipes!
    Pro tip – in the first recipe instead of chopping the garlic use the ginger grater and just grate the garlic 😉

  • @PeterStJ says:

    Thank you for making the time to test and refine the recipes. As the news from medical and other studies flow in it confirms times and again that having good toned musculature (some even static as much muscles as possible and here I would assume naturally, without PED etc) is best predictor of health and longevity, having additional information about the protein contents of a meal and constructing meals with enough protein while keeping it plant based seems like an important information to keep in mind when planning weekly meals. In that sense I find your work very useful. Once again – thank you!
