3 Easy Vegan Recipes for Beginners | Vegan Basics

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

hope you all enjoy this week's video! for our friends who have been plant-based for a while: what was your favorite meal to make when you first went vegan? hit us with the nostalgia ☺

[@EricAmesmusic]

does eating an entire box of Daiya mac and cheese with cut up Lightlife hot dogs count? 🤣

[@WeirddoughRue]

My favorite vegan meal is vegan fettuccine Alfredo 😊

[@Elsab950]

Chili! so easy

[@BettyHorn]

Oh yes. The cheese sauce. Made it all the time!

[@susanneh3920]

Chili 😁

[@tatiaa7206]

PLEASE make a video on aquafaba with exact recipes! I always hear people saying how there are so many ways of using it but no one ever explains how we can use them in recipes.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

oooo okay, this is a great idea!

[@ZaNnyii]

Yesss! I didn’t even know u could make mayo out of it!?!

[@Yeahthatshowifeel]

Yes please make the video.

[@kecrn4132]

Yeeeeessssssss please!!

[@brandeeisbomb]

I think you can use it for meringue but yeah not a lot of people talk about ways to use it! I would also love to see a video on this

The key to any vegan or gluten-free diet is to lean into the foods that are already vegan or gluten-free. There's nothing more tiring or expensive than trying to recreate meat or gluten based meals. Embrace the new.

[@brainfluidZ]

Veganism isn’t a gluten free diet. Gluten is good for you if your body isn’t intolerant to gluten.

[@tmm6884]

@@brainfluidZ Do you literally not understand the word OR? That's really sad. There's plenty of illiteracy programs, you should find one.

[@Pigeonsandoranges]

​@brainfluidZ they didn't say vegan is gluten-free. They said vegan OR gluten free. Both are equally difficult/expensive to start if your trying to recreate your favourite meals

[@tmm6884]

@@Pigeonsandoranges No. And, neither did I, dumdum. Learn what the word OR bloody means.

lately i've been trying some vegan recipes, although I am not vegan, and I have to say I LOVED the tuna salad chickpea recipe. It resembles actual tuna salad so closely and all the ingredients meshed so perfectly together, me and my boyfriend couldn't get enough of this dish! I like to eat it with crackers and it's sooo yummy. Thank you so much :)

[@georginaburgess]

Tuna Chickpea is amazing!

[@somethingbeautiful71]

Can not wait to try this. Mayo is not sitting well for me and I do love vegan recipes.

[@shalalala4875]

Sarah, you are the first person who has ever made from-scratch cashew cheese sauce look doable for me. I love your channel and recipe inspiration so much. Please never stop doing what you do, you make being vegan seem so down to earth and accessible for people like me who have disabilities and usually have a very limited amount of energy or "spoons" to do tasks. Your recipes are always really good but also very approachable and doable. I can't tell you how much I really appreciate it, it truly makes it a lot easier for me to be vegan and for others as well.

[@lavenderflowers1075]

I'm not vegan but what I love about vegan meals is that they're always so colorful.

[@brenda1429]

I’m not vegan but I do enjoy including vegan recipes from time to time. The one I want to try first is the Vegan Chick pea salad. That looks absolutely delicious. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

let me know what you think of the chickpea salad! and thanks for watching :)

It’s been suggested that I go plant-based because of health issues, so I’m happy to find your channel. I also grew up on tons of tuna and egg salad sandwiches. 😄

A woman named Jill makes a awesome cheese sauce in a blender.. We love it and hubby puts it on everything 😂. Let me go find it for you. Jill's 5-minute game-changer cheese sauce. That's the name of the video. 👍👍👍

[@donnadkshad6213]

I learned to use medium tofu to make egg salad. Just kind of chop up like I did egg. Add some black salt. Then adding the veggies you want. Add the vegan mayo and pickle relish. So yummy.

[@amyfolsom8921]

This changed my vegan game! You are an Angel helping others 💖 😇🍽🍁👍

[@stephanienieves1743]

Amazing! So my sister made this tuna salad and it’s incredible. To all the comments that keep asking why call it tuna because it taste just like tuna.lol if I didn’t see her, make it with my own eyes I would never believe there wasn’t tuna fish in this. The taste is on point! Great video amazing recipe keep it up you’re killing it! ❤

[@shivaniughade7710]

Thank you so much, I'm Vegan from last 3 years and I found this helpful ❤

[@NikkiLove9022]

I love your videos so much, especially how they’ve been lately! I want to try all of these recipes. 🥰

[@Michelle-bk5uq]

This was like a trip down memory lane. 🙂 I still eat chickpea salad all the time. Curry and chili were my favorite things to make when I first went vegan .(and still are) Both are very forgiving, can use whatever veg I have on hand with a can of beans and are so satisfying.

[@richricogranada9647]

I make my wonderful well balanced vegan meal mixing all ingredients together in a pan, warming it up, spicing up. Stupendous!

[@geno5169]

I’m so thankful I found your channel, I’m so interested trying this plant based lifestyle. I’m on thyroid and migraine meds for years !

[@yvettesmith4991]

Just started my vegan journey and these recipes are amazing, headed to the store for ingredients. 👍🏾 thanks because I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. It’s been 2 months now.

[@vittoria5210]

I really enjoyed watching this. I've been vegan for a few months now and I haven't been eating bc I was kind of wore out with it. I feel recharged especially with the chickpea tuna. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@marydmyterko4384]

Hi, Sarah, Mary from Cotopaxi, Colorado. So, we've been vegan since 2009. Anyway, I've been binge watching your KZbin demos. The egg salad was an instant hit for my hubby and me. You just offer so many ideas! I'm trying new ways to use tofu thanks to the dishes you created. So thank you and Happy Holidays!

[@trelynla]

I loved mayo based salad sandwiches too as a kid. And now I love chickpea salad sandwiches. So good.

[@georginaburgess]

Chickpea tuna is so good. Sarah's recipe is brilliant!

[@fredbureau-russell7718]

I watch your videos every single time on my Apple TV, and there is no way to comment so I had to go onto my iPhone to be able to comment this. Thank you so very much for making this video and every single one of your videos and always working so hard to make them so hyper filled with knowledge

[@judeannemcintyre2112]

These recipes make my mouth water! Thank you Sarah for sharing your ideas and knowledge. ❤️

[@jmgb2954]

Honestly I stumbled across your channel to get some ideas for Daniel Fast meals BUT I gotta say… your fresh homemade vegan cheese recipe looks amazing! And the rest of your recipes as well. I did cashew cheese once I loved it but didn’t want to keep buying store bought cheese… I appreciate all of the hard work going into your channel! I will be subscribing 🙏🏼 God bless

[@patrickschannelyt]

I made the first one, only had sweet relish but still came out tasting very good, just finished eating the vegan tuna salad sandwich as I'm typing this. Thank you for sharing those recipes! Will definitely make more of that.

[@karenfaircloth3335]

I've been vegan for over 14 years and it was great to see some old favorites 😍 Love your channel ❤️

[@johannaviteri6633]

Loved the vegan tuna recipe! I’m teaching how to make it in my small group. It is delicious! Thanks for sharing.

[@aubreyarchives]

Adding an umeboshi plum or ume plum vinegar to your vegan cheese sauce is ELITE. It adds the right kind of fermenty/funky/umami thing you look for in cheese.

[@weevil8025]

Love chickpea 'tuna'. Been vegan for years but I still watched this because I'm guilty of eating mostly premade vegan stuff. Trying to actually make things from scratch for a change heh. Lovely video!

[@CyndiMarie88]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! SO AMAZINGLY GOOD! Thank you! I was so worried about trying vegan, and I can't cook lol so I was like this is going to be a nightmare. I watched a ton of videos yesterday and decided your recipes were the way to go. Bought all the ingredients for everything and started today with the chickpea salad sandwich! And holy smokes I had the hardest time remembering it was not tuna lol THANK YOU! You're amazing! I can't wait for my next receipt tonight!

[@raspberryleaf258]

I now there's some discourse about recreating the taste of meat with vegan meals, but I just gotta say; go for it!! I know why some people might not like that, but if your a person who really likes the taste of meat, but really wants to do something about all of the negative effects that come with it through the industry, then why not for a start try to recreate that taste you liked so much. You could modify it to your likings and at the end, it's not some recreated meat anymore, bit your own personal fav vegan dish!!

[@stefaniegalea6810]

Thank you so much for these videos. I’m going to try them 1 at a time. I have stomach problems ❤

[@kattrichey]

I am impressed with these bufallo wings! After I put the franks sauce on I put in back in for 4min on 400 degrees to absorb the sauce and I didn’t have onion powder, but it takes just like wings too just a little softer. Next time I would probably air fry for an additional 5 min after you put the sauce on to crunch up. I will make these again!!! Yayyy

[@faith8303]

Thank you 🙏🏾. Simple and delicious.

[@Phaseriffic]

I love videos like this! Thank you so much

[@jayreed9370]

I am Esselstyn-compliant (zero added oil from any source) so this is helpful but some substitutions required for "tuna salad." Some nutritional yeast is helpful for an added umami dimension, and oyster mushrooms or salsify are also good for imitating the 'seafood-ness' flavor. Also, having a deep personal relationship with your air fryer is invaluable for anyone trying to remove fats.

[@RandBae]

Every recipe looks great! Thank you for including the recipe links. That cheese sauce looks so good !!! Looking forward to the next video!!!

[@mariannewaszak8253]

I’ve been following you since then. I remember all those videos. I still make my cauliflower using your recipe. Always bomb. 😍😍😍

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

thanks for watching all these years 🥲

[@DBDG0499]

I add my tomatoes diced in small pieces, finely chop my celery, jalapeños minced and some of the jalapeño juice, helps me use less mayonnaise because the tomatoes have plenty of juice and the vinegar juice of the jalapeños gives it extra flavor, then I eat the mixture with saltine crackers. So Good!

[@MrsSheffield]

You can use butter beans/fava beans for the cheese sauce as a substitute to nuts. You can also use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, which I’ve tried. It works but it’s best with cashews in my opinion.

[@tonyawillen9334]

Thank you so much for the Vegan Cheese Sauce recipe. I have been looking for a good cheese sauce because the current available vegan cheeses do not work for me (taste wise). I made the Vegan Tuna and it is delicious. This will be one of my go to recipes for a fulfilling easy lunch. Kisses
