[@carbon_lifeforme]

The production quality is insane!!!

[@BakingHermann]

Thank you 🥹🙏

[@SimoneBattaglia94]

Great job as usual Hermann! You are really a youtube gem.

[@rynkydynky]

Tuscany is the best. I went for a bike ride (Tuscany Trail) and I was amazed because anywhere I go, they had delicious vegan options. I even found a vegan restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Love it!

[@BakingHermann]

Haha it’s more vegan friendly than many think!

[@vijayasaraswathy3894]

You got to be the greatest lover of vegan food .so evident from how to enjoy the food.thumbs up from India.Looking forward to more.

[@meb3369]

Yay! What a treat to see another one of your longer episodes! Thanks for making these videos. They're amazing ❤

[@BakingHermann]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@dazthamaz]

This should be official advertising. Great work and fantastic mood throughout all the video. Being Italian I feel the urge to thank you for the love you show talking about our culinary culture.

[@BakingHermann]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@ShadyShadok]

I really like your videos. Good length and not loaded with a lot of "unnecessary blabla", it goes straight to the good food ^^

[@BakingHermann]

Love that, thanks!

[@seekingsolace]

You my friend are the one to watch! The quality, authenticity and passion makes me feel like I’m right there! I hope Netflix, Prime, HBO, BBC, Channel 4 and Sky are all watching cos this right here is your next culinary superstar!

[@BakingHermann]

Haha you’re incredibly kind ❤ thank you so much!!

[@JewelleighP]

Your zest for life and vegan food is infectious! Tuscan food is so simple and reminds us that you don’t need to work very hard to get an absolutely delicious vegan meal. Thanks for the reminder. I’d love to see you exploring vegan food somewhere in the Middle East, Turkey or Lebanon perhaps? Thanks Hermann on behalf of all the Australian vegans! Your Italian was perfetto!

[@BakingHermann]

Thanks for that, really appreciate it 😊

[@jwilli7434]

Yes, your energy is infectious and everything about your video shines. Subscribed!!

This could easily have been an hour (or two!) and I would have happy watched the whole thing. What joy!

Amazing! There are more videos coming ☺️

As a vegan born and living in Tuscany, this video warms my heart ❤

[@BakingHermann]

Wonderful ☺️🙏

[@marathorne6821]

Loved this! Wherever you go next, I'll be fascinated 😊

[@BakingHermann]

Türkiye is coming up next 😊

[@lug358]

I love this series! I didnt know Italy had that much vegan dishes...they look delicious and rich. Keep it up! I love your recepies. From a vegan in Spain 😊

[@BakingHermann]

And Spain does too! Would love to visit soon. 😊

[@bea3ce687]

Many traditional dishes her are also easily transformed into vegan, just by swapping one ingredient or the fat used. Sometimes the only animal ingredient is a spread of grated cheese, which can be easily left out or replaced with toasted and spiced breadcrumbs.

[@fabfilopedani]

It's funny because Italy's traditional cusine is very much vegetarian and vegan, since meat and cheese were much more expensive to have they were reserved for special occasions

[@patblack2291]

Now I have several new dishes I need to learn to prepare. Grazie!

[@BakingHermann]

Haha there we go!!

[@cristinamodini6067]

💚💚💚💚💚grazie!!!!

[@garysquarepants898]

Dude, you made me reconsider how to think of vegan food. Bright, clear and True, vegan/vegetarian food is the base of our diet, always has been. Recipes with great vegan/vegetarian food are everywhere

[@BakingHermann]

Love that 🙏

[@PockyPino]

I love what you do! You have to try Vegan Vietnamese food. The first and fifteenth day of the lunar month and during Buddhas birthday, a lot of people eat Vegan. They offer vegan food everywhere on those days. For example, there is a cousin of beef soup Bún Bò Huế called Bún chay. I had some of the best vegan food in my life in Vietnam. They make a very meaty salad out of a local variety of figs called Vả Trộn which is shredded and very reminiscent of tuna or fish. Unfortunately not many people in the west know about the diverse vegan hidden gems in Vietnam, especially Huế. Edit: It’s the lunar month, which is 29/30 days. Sorry for the confusion!

[@BakingHermann]

That sounds amazing! Thanks for the tips. It’s a little harder to research and find these dishes opposed to European/Middle Eastern, but comments like this motivate me to do another deep dive. Would love to explore more of Asia and the impact of Buddhism on plant-based food!

[@kimcheelove]

buddhism and hinduism!

[@ianhomerpura8937]

Since Hue was also the royal capital until 1945, are there any notable royal vegan cuisine there? Would love to try them.

[@yweingrod]

Love the new and long episodes !! So nice to see♥️ I would love to see you go to a crazy place like africa or even some random place in US. Somewhere unexpected is always good 🙏🌻♥️

[@thearaucariafarmer556]

Gosh this is awesome, so much traditional plant based grub around the world!

[@BakingHermann]

Loads 👏

[@trishramsden5551]

Love this series, would love one set in Eastern Europe as they seem meat heavy but I'm sure there must be vegan treasure to find

[@BakingHermann]

Very true! The Balkans certainly have a lot of traditionally plant-based food

[@hopepunk6847]

For years now Warsaw has been ranking globally in the top five of most vegan cities, which I can absolutely confirm and don't wish to imagine not having the comfort of!

[@darymetal]

Your channel is so amazing, i would watch anything

Gagarin ❤ When he passed away, he made the lines on Italian newspapers. Glad that his son is helding the tradition, but it's departure is still a big loss to Leghorn and the world...

[@BakingHermann]

I’ve heard about that 😕 sad news indeed. Giuliano is keeping the legacy alive!

[@docevika6202]

Great to see how delicious traditional food connected to scientific knowledge of blending of ingredients for better nutrition, I mean serving beans with tomato sauce 🍅 helps the body absorb the iron (non M) from the beans… beans are a fabulous source of iron but absorbing it only in presence of vitamin C. In Brazil, their most traditional bean dishes is served with a salad of oranges 🍊and tomato salsa. About going around to other countries, try less obvious countries, Bolivia, Peru, Equador, Colombia and Brazil to showcase the amazing traditional foods of the Andes and the Amazon people… at this stage Mexico is quite obvious and repetitive…

[@BakingHermann]

So true, science is always catching up, yet these dishes seemed to have evolved with an innate understanding of what our bodies need. Thanks for the tips!

[@margaretsundariphillips478]

Please visit the island of Mallorca. Vegan dishes - there are many from the simple pamboli amb tomate ramillette; lentejas españolas, sopa de garbanzos, croquetas de acelgas, cocas de pimienta, cocarois, sopas mallirquinas etc. Like in Tuscany they use fat of pork but in the homes of locals and in small restaurants they don't use fat of pork.

[@BakingHermann]

I’ve been to Mallorca but missed half of these. Time to go back!!

[@billps34]

@ 6:42 He's digging a furrow for the tomatoes, not a grove. LOL. A "grove" is a small piece of woodland with trees.

[@BakingHermann]

My English failing me 🤦‍♂️ thanks, lesson learned

[@billps34]

​@@BakingHermannFurrow is a cognate with the German word "Furche" - if it helps you remember it! ;)

[@redheadedmandy]

I believe he meant to say "groove," which is a synonym for furrow

[@annikakolb6667]

Loved loved loved this video so so much!! And appreciate the thoughtful use of "plantbased" :)

[@jerryuomofagiolo5681]

If you are vegan, be aware that in the "Fagioli all'uccelletto" there are often also some Italian sausages (not in this case)

[@BakingHermann]

It’s always at the mercy of the chef, with many of these dishes, unfortunately. Though they are traditionally vegan, some chefs like to jazz them up a bit… always worth checking before ordering.

[@ishaanmishra22]

I want the India episode!

[@Capricornica]

10:20 - He's so invested in seeing you enjoy it 😂 I think that's the dish I'm most curious to try out of these, though, honestly. It looks delicious.

[@DavidFSloneEsq]

For what it’s worth, I’m not vegan. Nonetheless, I’m delighted to have found this channel. Every culture (except maybe the Mongols?) has traditional plant-based food, and, having stood the test of time, it’s liable to be better than the sort of stuff that a bunch of stoned hippies come up with when they got the munchies. Also, you’ve got what the kids call “rizz” and the production values in this video are top notch. I’m looking forward to watching what else you’ve posted, and what you’re going to post. As a side note, would it really hurt the Tuscans to put a pinch of salt in their bread?

[@BakingHermann]

Appreciate that a lot 🙏 thank you! And haha, some bakers do 😉

Hi Hermann, I live in France since 4 years. But trying to find traditional vegan recipes here is really difficult. Could you help and find France original and ancient vegan dishes? I know it is maybe a step too far to ask, but would be very grateful. Thank you
