Maya N-K From Tesco! The Tofoo Co. brand!

[@alonememe]

Instead of mayo you can use hummus and mustard :)

[@kirstymacleod7232]

This video is going to be so useful for uni! Which spices do you keep in that metal tin? I’m trying to work out what to get as some staple spices :) x

Hello!!!! I’m a Japanese woman ! This is my first comment ! I’ve watched your videos ！！All of them are great!! I used to be a Vegan but I gave up because it’s difficult to be Vegan in Japan! I want to try it again for nature and my health , animals !! I can’t wait to watch your video!!! See you soon!!

[@Goghahahahahaeej]

Wish you more luck next time 👍

[@kimlove6065]

I know that now it’s easier . Dont give up 😁

[@julissax5142]

The “tuna” is SOOO good wow I added a little sprinkle of old bay for that fish flavor ....I ended up liking it more than real tuna

[@luiysia]

real tuna is nasty😂

[@loc9588]

luiysia what? Real tuna is great! 😂

[@witkneemenyon5612]

Oh yeah that’s a good idea ... I’d also add mustard

[@alisagalloza9328]

Yess, its sooo good!

[@VeraHeidkamp]

Favourite combination for a buddha bowl is noodles, red pepper, cucumber, kidney beans, spinach and avocado with a sauce of peanut butter, tahini, soy sauce and lemon

[@genevamartinez9492]

Vera Heidkamp what kind of noodles?

[@hymkemeijer]

Vera Heidkamp that sounds amazing!

[@earthlingel.2238]

just a tip for those who are making the sundried tomato recipe: use the oil that's left in the glas from the tomatoes, saves you some olive oil :)

[@notofthisworld595]

That pasta salad is THE 👏🏼PER👏🏼FECT👏🏼 thing to make when you’re depressed and need to batch make something to make sure you eat. Got me through my first few days of a break up

[@palynaike]

Wow! I just made your “fake tuna” and it’s freaking amazing!! I’m definitely making this a regular this at home. Thanks so much!! You make being vegan really easy!

[@palynaike]

Dish*

[@amyhodges2703]

How long did it keep for after you made it? Xx

[@palynaike]

We actually ate it all before it got spoiled, but it lasted for around 4 days and it was still good and tasty.

[@adriencsornok9628]

Did it taste like regular tuna? I really want to be vegan but I really like seafood

[@MaybeAshleigh]

@@adriencsornok9628 it doesn't taste exactly like tuna but it has similar flavours! Add some chopped up nori (seaweed) sheets for a more fishy flavour :)

[@badcartographer4471]

If you and Caitlin Shoemaker did a collab, my life would be complete tbh

[@Hannah-vt7lc]

That would be amazing! I love both of them and I am sure they would come up with some amazing tastefull recipes

Can I be honest, I would have never even considered giving up meat, but your recipes are making me want to live a totally different life style. I think I'll start soon!

[@miracleugwu5603]

Same here

[@debzter1039]

Porrrnessian. I didn’t think I would ever want to go vegetarian. Couldn’t understand why anyone would want to give up meat, but I did it and I love it. I feel great!!!

[@somemoreplease]

Madeleine, darling, just a quick tip in regards to cutting veggies: I know sweet potatoes are hard to cut, but I have noticed you’re using the tip of the knife which make things harder. Get a smaller chefs knife and use the first 2/3 instead when applying the pressure, and things will become way easier. It’s the body of the knife which is supposed to work, not the tip. Good luck! ❤️

[@DONALDTRUMP2024-k1l]

she’s just giving her a tip ?

[@DONALDTRUMP2024-k1l]

Sian Dyas ^

[@EmilyWalters]

I’m going to use this tip as well. Thanks!

[@sydneydunnill7280]

Sian Dyas it’s just a tip to make it easier...

[@plantsoul1605]

If you add pieces of the seaweed sushi rolls, it gives it even more tuna taste and adds more nutrients to your lunch. :)

[@mrcstrash]

would probably toast the bread before putting the vegan tuna on it, so it doesnt get soggy during the day. thank for the recipes!

[@NicosW0rld]

Mária Nagyová what I do is I have those divider containers and before I go to work I put the bread in one side and the “tuna” or whatever I am making on the other side. Then when I’m on my break time I just sit down and put the toppings/tuna/whatever on the bread so it doesn’t get soggy all day :) I did that today. I also put my sauce of choice in a tiny little plastic food jar from Walmart and I put that in my lunchbox too and then I just put it on my bread and assembled a sandwich

[@MrsPinkSunshine]

Some people like ASMR to relax - for me Madeleine’s chopping and cooking Sounds are very calming and satisfying 😂👍🏻 is that english? I Hope so 😇

[@gabriellamick]

My favorite Buddha bowl combo is: Brown rice, yams/sweet potatoes, portabello mushrooms, snow peas, onions, avocado with miso vinaigrette or tahini and cilantro pesto!! So yummy and satisfying 🤤

[@amandawestman4914]

Aside from the mushrooms this sounds amazing! Have to try this!😂❤

[@joanaliew9679]

A very tipical Chinese thing to do in my family is to fry TINY pieces of garlic untill it turns golden brown and add it on top of my rice,noodles and rice porridge. Any leftover oil on the pan I either cook something in it or store it. The same goes for TINY bits of onion too. Ypu should try it. It makes all the difference!!!!!!!

[@gabriellemartin6540]

The red onion really gives the chickpea "tuna" a really believable colour! And the taste is amazing!

[@sarah-lisa.lukkari]

Thanks for sharing. My favourite combination when it comes to a buddha bowl is: chopped raw carrot, tomato, cucumber, bellpepper, quinoa, cashew sauce, chick peas and some roasted potatoes

[@breve711]

i made the roasted vegies for dinner/lunch twice this week. so. good. and everyone at work commented on how yum it looked. really easy and delicious.

[@lenw2097]

The curried chickpea wrap is soooo TASTY and sooo EASY to make. Made it a couple times. I bring it as lunch at work.

[@CastleElio]

you always take such huge first bites and I love it so much tbh its such a mood

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Hehehhee

[@simpligray6009]

I’m sooooo happy that I have found you. You are about to change my life.

[@2qvlogs679]

You are without a doubt my fave vegan youtuber - I eat the pesto pasta everyday, what a game changer - love all your vids!

[@thatcatval4951]

I really like that you kept the chopping/russling noises in. It keeps my brain interested with all the nice sounds. Gonna try that vegan tuna salad.

[@maja8453]

YEEEY! Missed Madeleine's recipes are the best! Seriously; since I started cooking using her recipes (and not other vegan "chefs") my parents have starting complementing my food a lot more! 😅😁 Love them a lot too. I'm making hummus-pasta all the time now 😍

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Awww yay this makes me so happy!!

[@tazminzara]

I put sweet potatoes in the microwave for a couple of minutes before chopping, makes it so much easier!!

[@juchidaf]

Honestly, the color of the tuna filling, looks so appealing and real. Great job!

[@ivyscripting7240]

Can I just say thank you for having such an awesome channel? Your recipes are so simple and easy to make, which has been my main impediment when I've been first trying to slowly transition to a vegan lifestyle. I also appreciate how you mentioned that olive oil can be a substitute for vegan mayo in these recipes, I don't think I've seen anyone else mention that and it's so helpful to know. I feel you make transitioning to veganism/making vegan meals so easy :)

[@madisonfreeman6898]

I love how flexible these meals are! I’ve seen meals in the past where there is one ingredient I don’t like and without it it ruins the meal :) thanks for your recipes!

[@strawberriesgood9946]

I need to try that “tuna” sandwich!! All of the recipes look delicious! Thanks ❤️

[@gracias.manana]

Currently eating the sundried tomato and basil pasta salad thing, it’s amazing! Thank you so much for sharing, you really make it easy and affordable for the likes of me, who love the idea of being vegan but don’t know where to start! I can now say it’s Defintely all in the flavours 😍 Thanks for sharing

[@emmabloom1793]

So I started taking an interest in healthier food last month, I reduced my meat consumption and when I cooked for myself I mostly cooked vegetatian or vegan food. What I've noticed so far: No need to worry about the meat being not tasty (because of fat or "bones", which I hate when meat has that), veggies are way cheaper and especially now it's a lot easier to buy food which was grown near me. In addition to that, I came to the conclusion that if I cook myself I'll like vegetables that I didn't like before :)

[@LoganW1815]

I think this is my new favorite video of yours. I really like the music. Try baking the sweet potatoes for a few minutes. Just enough that they're easier to cut.

[@cynoglav9665]

Hey Madeleine! Loved the recipes, I'll surely try them. I'm not vegan but they look super yummy and make me want to eat all of them right now. :D May I please have a request for you? It's sometimes really hard to read the subtitles you add in recipes since you often have light things (like a bowl) in the background. If you could add a black or even gray outline to the text, I'm sure that'd increase the visibility. Thank you and please keep these coming!!

[@susanxteasley]

I hope it's okay if I piggy back on this. I love these videos, so beautiful and such good recipes always! A lot of times when I'm watching videos I'm multitasking (eating, cooking, getting ready, etc) and I've noticed with your recipe videos that the narration misses a lot of information. Watching this video, I was glancing over occasionally and midway through I realized I had no idea what any of the recipes you had already talked about even were. Basically, if you're not watching the entire thing intently, it's not clear what's going on. This can be problematic for anyone in my situation and can also drive away blind/visually impaired viewers. I understand if you don't want to add lots to narration, but even just saying what the recipes and ingredients are might be really helpful for some. Either way, this was a gorgeous video and I'm excited to try some of these out!! Thank you for creating your content

[@cynoglav9665]

Susan Grace I agree! We need to take care of our vision impaired people too :)

[@lisettelachat1870]

cynoglav oh a medal for you, for not being vegan . Well done for contributing to cruelty. I'm not vegan comment on a vegan video is so bloody boring

[@laurahoogsteden6542]

@@lisettelachat1870 why do you get so annoyed by it? people need to start somewhere. every meal the eat vegan is one less with meat. let people slowley get used to it

[@amandawestman4914]

@@lisettelachat1870 I'm not vegan and I watch these. I've been trying to eat more plant based and cut out some meat. This is a good place to start. With delicious meatless meals. People like you give veganism a bad name. Do us all a favor and shut the hell up.😘

[@annekebroekhuis]

If you ever come to the Netherlands or if you live here you HAVE to try Mayolijn from Remia. It’s the BEST vegan mayonaise ever!!!

[@irisvanhees5207]

Hebben ze dat gewoon in de supermarkt?! 😱☺️

[@de6klompjes108]

I love just roasting sheet pans of veg too with a potato and putting some type of fat on it too. So good. So simple. Tastes even better leftover!

[@emmasizer8389]

This is so helpful thank you! I go to uni next Friday and I was so scared I wouldn’t be able to make anything quick and cheap but you’re a lifesaver haha. Love your videos thank you for all the inspiration xx

Good luck with uni!

[@dogaddictx3]

The sound is so awesome, almost like an ASMR video. That‘s so unique, I really loved it! And I will definitely try all of those recipes, everything looks so yummy.

[@succulentqueen7737]

I made the sundried tomato & pasta salad because I already had the ingredients. I used lots of fresh basil and cherry tomatoes from my garden and added olives and parmesan cheese. It was good.

[@Esmeralda-fo1dk]

Lol I’m taking notes while watching this video because otherwise I know I’ll forget everything and never actually get the ingredients I need/follow the recipes. Thank you so much for this video! Everything looks so delicious and super easy to make.

Oh this is genius, why haven't I thought about that?! Thank you anyways :D

I'm not a vegan but for health reasons my diet is mainly plant based and i could see YOUR recipes being heavily featured just based off this one video ^^

Love these recipes!! Perfect for the upcoming fall season (in the United States)!!

[@BetteTwain]

The vegan tuna is amazing. As a kid I loved tuna patty’s and thanks to the vegan tuna you can buy I can make that again 😍

[@JohannaZee]

Yes, school is getting back in session everywhere around here in New England, USA. Since I have a nice new batch of my homemade kimchi, I had that every day to my lunch, but unfortunately I have to eat it outside, because I would never hear the end of it in regard to the smell of it. Great kimchi doesn't smell good... LOL. I also lately have been adding fresh figs to my lunch because they're in season.

[@AnnswerMonster]

Fave buddha bowl is defo with quinoa, spinach, roasted chickpeas, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots and avo 😍 i usually just drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over it as dressing yummmm x

[@jcubray8718]

Sweet Potatoes are loaded with vitamins and nutrients so we like to keep them in our diet. We're vegetarian as well in the US. Im not sure if there are Juicers in the U.K. but if so you should try juicing the sweet potato to get the benefits as well!! You don't have to worry about chopping so much and it taste pretty good when mixed with the right pairs. Great video🙏

[@Adrienne82891]

Love this video because it shows you don't always have to be so complicated to eat vegan. All simple but delicious I'm sure. Cooking is really all about the spices and how you cook things. My favorite buddha bowl is one with quinoa, roasted cauliflower and sweet potato, chickpeas and massaged kale. Then I top with a soaked cashew sriracha sauce with some nooch and other spices added and bam. Lunch for the week. lol

[@ranusharavindranathan1114]

chickpea tuna and the roasted veg (most excited) - and i totally agree with sweet potatoes, SO hard to cut lol

Get a kitchen grade knife sharpener! I used to always have the same problem with sweet potatoes chopping too. My new job is in a kitchen and I always sharpen my knife before chopping sweet potatoes and the knife just glides through it!!

For the sweet potato just cut it in half width wide not length wide. It will be easier to quarter after.

You can put seaweed in the "tuna", in my opinion it tastes very good.
