Born and grew up in Mexico! I have to said that anytime I go on vacations in my own country I get to experience how amazing and diverse is my country. That’s why our country has one of the best cuisines in the world. I wish more people even Mexicans get to explore more of what our country has to offered.

[@ellie-jane]

I can’t believe it was only you and Tom who filmed, directed, and edited this video. It looks like it took a massive team to create something so captivating to watch.

Gonzalo is a champion, what he does is epic and we need more people like him. When he explained his reasons why, his message stuck with me, had to listed few more times, so simple yet so powerful. Speaking of your own farm back in Wales I would suggest looking into Charles Dowding do-dig gardening. What he manages to grow in his backyard with little effort is mind blowing.

This video was pure pleasure to watch, Gaz and Tom! Beautifully shot and edited. Gaz, your warmth and personable demeanour puts people at ease, along with your complimentary remarks and gratitude (this holds true for Tom, as well, I’m sure). But, what lovely families you met and learned from. The organic farmer is doing incredible things for his family and community. How nice that you followed your awesome dinner with a visit to the family which made the wonderful pottery used at the hotel’s restaurant. I do hope they made their trip back to Wales intact. Looking forward to more of Mexico🇲🇽 !

Gaz and Tom - this series is truly a cinematic work of art. The joy bursts through the screen the entire time, and it’s evident that you are such a passionate duo. I can’t believe this is all done with just the two of you! I hope that you can reach an even wider audience over time, not just to show people the benefits of plant based and vegan living - but to share the genuine joy, happiness, calmness and enthusiasm this life brings you. I look forward to seeing your cacao adventure in the next video! Big love from the Sunshine Coast 🤙🏼🙏🏼

[@nicg8878]

Wow. I'm lost for words. The people, the farm, the pottery and rustic cooking. I know with absolute certainty now that I must visit Mexico as a vegan, my only fear is that I may never leave. This series is incredible Gaz, you have shown a great deal of respect towards people's traditions and culture and it has made this food series all the more special.

This episode made me cry. I'm a first generation American, my parents are from Mexico & what Gonzalo said, about food being medicine & there not being a Healthcare system in Mexico just hit home...

[@mountainman88]

I currently live in Yucatan, Mexico. There is another accidentally vegan mayan dish that uses ibes. Its called Toksel. The ibes are boiled and strained then burning hot rocks are added to smoke them and crisp them up. Then they are mixed with pepita de calabaza and served in handmade tortillas. Edit: The burning hot rocks make a world of difference. If you are still around there, we can show you.

[@justbeachy2031]

Just curious, are you an American living in the Yucatan? I'm going to look up that dish on KZbin. Thanks for the information

[@mountainman88]

Scottish :)

[@mountainman88]

@@justbeachy2031 You might struggle to find it online. It was some locals who told us it and even many people in Yucatan don't know about it. It uses a white rock which is high in calcium.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Your joy is palpable here, Gaz. This series gives me nostalgic vibes of globe trekker that I used to watch Sunday afternoon in the early 2000. Seeing the political signage hand painted on peeling walls also took me back to growing up in Brazil. Bravo, my friend.

[@gazoakleychef]

Wow thank you so much my friend ❤️ highest praise coming from you. KZbin doesn’t deserve our work 🥹

[@suburbanhomestead]

@@gazoakleychef I think KZbin would benefit from human curation and not just rely on the algorithm. I know it opens up a can of worms with favoritism, etc, but having only watch time, click through rate, and engagement as blind metrics disregards the human essence that is unquantifiable. The reason people still go out of their way to pay for other streaming services to access quality productions should inform KZbin about thinking deeper about this. I’m sure they have their reasons backed by data, etc…, but I just feel like sensationalism and senseless trends gain way more traction than they deserve. I thought about a reward system that would give everyone a few stars a day that they can use as a “super-like.” If they don’t give it out easily they get a reward, like no ads for a week, or a free movie, that way it “costs” people something to rate a KZbin channel they like and doesn’t fall into the like trap where everyone gets likes and it becomes meaningless. Anyways, I digress. My hope is that investing in quality, as you are, creates a more lasting impression in viewers, where they mentally “subscribe” to the channel.

[@paulinalara3447]

This is a beautiful piece of videography! I'm Mexican and I can't believe the respect, love and admiration you are showing to our culinary culture through this amazing piece of work. Thank you for showing authentic food traditions, real people from our land who cook them now just as their ancestors had cooked them. I hope Gonzalo's project gets the support he needs. Thanks to you, your team and the beautiful people who are part of the Authentic Mexican Cuisine.

[@saronnpov2687]

This is your BEST work YET ! Literally this hits me at my core, every aspect of what makes a powerful food documentary … the very fibre of food and nature that binds the culture, people with renewed hopes and dreams. You’re the new “Anthony Bourdain” that humanity need right now (lot younger and not hard in the eyes lol, and wiser and healthier and so much happier” ) FYI I’ve spent most of my life cooking and exploring farms to having my own farm to table establishments then finally to having my land to start my own farm and continuing to learn about permaculture. To see this eco farm doing “syntropic farming” and applying permaculture principles is very inspiring and energizing to my current work and passion. Your work is life changing. Big up to you and your team. Sending love. Yours truly, Saronn

[@shawnhenderson2091]

This place reminds me and my wife of a garden up here in WA state, the "back to eden" garden, the guy has his own method he shares for free with everyone, giving tours like this guy is doing for Gaz. Its incredible, Gaz should totally check it out if the guy up here is still giving tours - he just uses woodchips, that's it. And his garden grows everything. The most incredible thing was seeing a Lavender plant (grows in dry soil) right next to a wasabi plant (grows in very wet soil). He barely has to water anything in his garden and he gives tours and lets you try all his stuff. Its amazing, like this garden here. Great stuff Gaz, looks delish
