I know there is less demand for long form content on the internet, so I'm so happy you continue to make these in depth and quality videos. And your mom is such a sweetheart. Keep going!

[@gazoakleychef]

Glad you like them!

[@lucamarcantonio]

Couldn't agree more! With all the 30second content I feel like I need videos like these to cool my head down. Thank Gaz for this!

[@christinegivens9048]

I love long form too. 🎉

[@camillaholst7321]

That's why WE are here: we who looove the long content. Thank you, Gaz

[@zee7109]

As a mother to a son this video warmed my heart... She must be very proud of you ❤

[@gazoakleychef]

Ahhhh 💐 wouldn’t be here without all her help

[@MimiYouyu]

She is amazing.

[@IrendaYamarisArtHealing]

I absolutely love that your kitchen has an apothecary sign over the door. Like I was just telling my daughter as we watched the video. It's cathartic to watch you cook. The care and passion you put into your recipes is healing. Congratulations on your dream kitchen. Hugs to your Mum, she did an amazing job raising you. ❤

[@007IceBaby]

@@gazoakleychef Your mum looks 40 max, very beautiful x

[@ziggy33399]

@@007IceBabyshe looks maybe 28 to me…just my observation. And also, she’s beautiful. Honestly. ❤

[@lavondad5598]

This is so sweet! My son's are plant based and my youngest, who has never eaten meat, loves watching your videos and seeing a vegan male chef! He will sit next to me while I edit (I'm a photographer) and cuddle up watching these! It's so much better than stuff kids are watching his age and now he has started to ask me if he could help me cook! This may be my new favorite video and I can't wait to share it with my son!

[@lavondad5598]

Also that kitchen is a dream! So beautiful and soothing!

[@ellev11]

Would be awesome if you would get it on video maybe? Either way, have a great time cooking with your son!

[@kristycarrington9413]

I’m with you!! My little son enjoys watching him cook and garden sooo much

[@sarahgeselle]

my heart!! so so so so sweet

[@jodycody11]

That kitchen....UNBELIEVABLE! That pasta...INCREDIBLE! Your Mom...DIVINE!❤

[@gazoakleychef]

Thank you so much

[@viwekaptein7548]

I kid you not, this is one of the best and most calming youtube videos i've seen in a very long time. The cinematography, the editing, the kitchen, the lighting, the music. Just everything. Gaz, you and Tom did a fantastic job on this one.

[@boopaloop5493]

I would love to see a dedicated kitchen tour with your reflections on the choices you made. Everything is beautiful, as always.

[@gazoakleychef]

Coming soon!

[@alessiagabriele150]

As an Italian, this was beautiful to watch 🥰 The ravioli, the gorgeous kitchen, the moka, the love for your family ❤ Thank you Gaz for your amazing content!

[@gazoakleychef]

Grazie ❤️

[@norad1343]

I want to applaud your mom for raising you to be a lovely human being. That ravioli looked divine.

[@hurbanlegendss]

You say you don't know why you're romanticizing it, but the vibe of the video is perfect. Love seeing you put so much passion into all you do.

[@AnneLiMyna]

Haha, everyone wanted to see your love ❤ so sweet!

[@_Hannah_..]

yes !! ~~ Definitely ❕🦋☘️🌱🌿🤍🌱✨🌿🤍

Me too 😊

[@GOD999MODE]

Of course it's Mom!

[@lyra2425]

I did think it might be Tom ....😊

[@angelamoynahan2627]

This was so sweet. My mom passed away 4 years ago and I miss her so much. We shared the love of gardening and cooking. Love that you honored your mum for this meal and video.

[@hilaallnaturalsoaps9628]

Your new kitchen is beautiful, what a perfect design. I love how you remain humble and self-humored despite the great success. And at the same time, the level of the videos is increasing all the time.

[@Moofus30]

I love this foraging, slightly feral homesteader energy. Your passion clearly shines through. It’s so lovely to see people doing their thing and doing what makes them happy! Romanticizing your life is the best way to live 💕

[@sunshinedayz7032]

Such a beautiful location and gorgeous woods!🌿💚🌳

[@Flowers4Everyone]

The kitchen is beautiful. Lighting is magnificent. Food preparation and presentation on such a stunning work surface. Its a visual hug.❤🎉

[@brhomboid]

Came here to say this

[@gazoakleychef]

Thank you so much 😊

[@SuhniAngel]

Gaz, as soon as i read, " for my love" I said, " his mum". You're beautiful. Your kitchen is an extension of you, it's gorgeous, congrats! Your mum, stunning! Love watching you do what you love and now in a space to call yours.

[@susiegilmour3520]

The colours in the kitchen are so evocative of classic Italy….gorgeous!

[@ellev11]

yesss i felt transported there aahhhh

[@lynnevoyle]

My son is a chef overseas from me. When he cooks for me it’s special because it’s him and it doesn’t happen very often. ❤

[@YTFlove4ever]

I love Tom's camera work on this! He's always great but this video was especially really good, which tells me you built the kitchen with the camera movement and lighting in mind! Congrats on having a space of your own and to Tom for his skills!

[@elijah9433]

i lost my mom 2 years ago, this really warmth my heart Gaz! Much love

[@GKeyoflife]

I lost my mom two years ago too. This video is beautiful on many heart levels. ❤❤❤

@@gazoakleychef the algorithm denied me you smile and great food for months then . Bad Algorithm .....

[@kseniagalina4290]

I also wondered what happened to Gaz, somehow none of the jamaica videos appeared on my feed

[@handypicker]

You have become such a charming gentleman. I loved the coffee making scene. I feel like watching a beautiful movie, your calmness transmits to us and you are our example of the man all us crazy little ladies need in our lives ❤

[@JW-mg1sk]

Seeing Gaz tend so lovingly to every aspect of each meal and his surroundings …. *sigh* it makes me feel like I’d love to give that same presence for the people I love and cherish.

[@user-it3ct3fc5f]

You were lucky to cook ravioli in school in cookery class. Can you imagine we were asked to bring in a bought Swiss roll and Birds Custard ? . My dad refused to supply the stuff. And I sat alone while the other girls and one boy " cooked " the stuff. I went on to work in kitchens , it was my passion , my life, my joy. I love your creativity and I especially loved your time spent in Jamaica, my kind of vibe, my kind of food , my kind of music . I'm old enough to be your Grandma .

[@gazoakleychef]

I volunteered, the other students weren’t cooking ravioli. It was one of the only class I excelled in..

[@debrakessler5141]

Your Mum is precious! The dish has inspired me, thanks.

[@nessbz]

Gaz you seem so grounded in this space. I didn't think your content quality could get any better and alas! Great job. Never stop spreading the magic of plant-based love. 💚

[@silverfoxjohnson9390]

Mouthwatering!! Wonderful using wild garlic!! Beautiful dish for a lovely lady, Mom!!

[@deboraz455]

I just knew it was going to be your mama. So sweet!! And the dish looks incredible. Kudos to Tom...the filming is beautiful.

Love your kitchen!!!!🍃

[@gazoakleychef]

Thank you!! 😊

[@alisonhendry2928]

Ahhh a thing of beauty this one. UNBELIEVABLE kitchen!!! Jealousy is not always a bad thing is it? I look forward to making these raviolis and watching more content in that amazing space. Love green anywhere. The pops of bright copper and gold… the walls, the… ok all of it! Wonderful. So happy for you! You share so much with all of us you deserve your happy place. Loving those curls too! Your Mum deserves some praise for raising a lovely human being.

[@slane_design]

SOOOO Special the first meal was for her! Love you Gaz!

[@danielc85]

As always, Gaz and his awesome videos, food and content. the kitchen, the colors.. the scenes аnd the music the best!

[@jandynmarkham317]

That looks amazing! It's great to see you getting to use your new and beautiful kitchen!

[@josipao.6534]

Gaz it's a joy watching you cook and eat your food. Lucky mum 🥲

[@kristycarrington9413]

Gaz your videos landed in my world when I was in my last trimester with my son; I’m not kidding when I say I would watch them back to back from my little nest preparing for a home birth and waiting patiently for his arrival. EVERYDAY for about 5 /6 weeks I’d watch your videos with my Mum on the couch and we’d only pause to make lunch because we were alwys so hungry 🤣 it was the most inspiring, wholesome time for me. Thankyou for everything you create, share and offer this community. My son (21months old) loves to help in the kitchen, he’s such a foody and every now and then I’ll let him watch an episode with me - he’s fascinated by your chopping, your garden and when you’re mixing foods… he loooooves it and claps and goes “Num Num Num Num” as if to send me straight into the kitchen 😂 You have brought so much joy to my life as a Mum, raising my son and preparing food in the home. I love seeing your Mum in videos too; what a special Bond you have ❤

[@julieluckey3559]

Me too! ❤

[@okayashe]

Oh my gosh! This is a DREAM KITCHEN. I wish I could have this in my apartment. WOW ❤ ❤ ❤

[@gazoakleychef]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@georgedeanjnr]

The kitchen looks banginnnnn guys!!! Gaz & tom killing the youtube game

[@karolinkaklim]

everything about this video is so dreamy

[@sonjaeberhard647]

Gaz as a fellow plant-based chef I know what you are going through,having your own kitchen is an amazing feeling, a creative environment to explore ,discover and be creative, so happy for you, enjoy every moment in your amazing space

[@deedee2874]

This is one of my favourite videos of all times of Gaz and I have been watching since he was a nervous young chef new to being filmed and making amazing food years ago. Especially the love he shows his mother who does so much for him. His kitchen suits him so well. It's like Tuscany meets a farmhouse kitchen, just beautiful 🥰

[@vm3016]

In America, Mother’s Day is May 12, 2024. What a beautiful way to honor the woman who loved you first. 💕

[@jenthang]

Gaz your kitchen is absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy for you!

[@fishnchips2423]

Oh Gaz mate, got me going for a while too. I was on high alert but your mum is lovely, a real treacle. Now, have you ever thought about surprising someone in their own home to cook up a feast regardless to the size of their kitchen???? Maybe during a special holiday season like Christmas, New Year, Easter etc. Great way to introduce folks to tasty vegan food on a budget. Now Gaz, you got an invite for sure, so don't be shy. Your new kitchen looks real nice and that background music was a nice touch.

[@makeupabsolu]

A true artist , so methodical, such inspiration , you are wonderful ! Amazing

[@fjalar4856]

Pure passion, so much ❤ in this video. The inside of your house looks so cozy.

So beautiful. Labour of love for the Love of you life ❤ Bless you both

What cooker have you got? You're kitchen is honestly gorgeous. The forest green, clay walls, copper pans, the wood... I want it!!!

[@Geemeel1]

OMG I was sitting all but breahtless, thinking we would have lost our beloved Gaz to a new love, and all hopes and dreams gone....☺ But Hooray, is big love turns out to be his Mum. We love you too Mum 😅🤩 Absolute STUNNING kitchen Gaz !! 🕺🏽

[@Jacqueline-zs1bu]

This video is so beautiful. Your relationship with your mom reminds me of mine with my son. 🙏💜

[@JustCallMeDoris]

Wow.. Every single aspect of this video is a feast for the eyes😍 I image actually being in your beautiful kitchen would be a feast for all of the sences. You have a undeniable connection with Mother Earth and it's beautiful, your eye for anesthetics is a delight. Thank you for feeding my soul 🙏

[@tan.k.j]

A man in his craft, is a God given blessing

[@CreativeS0ul7]

Gaz, this is simply and beautiful stunning and sweet, from the foraging, to your amazing new kitchen, to the way you put so much love and care into those raviolis like your little babies, to the cinematography, the music, your evolution from Avant Garde vegan and little studio kitchen to this incredible masterpiece and your Wales gardening has been an inspirational and amazing journey and growth to witness, i kinda feel like your mama or big sister myself watching your growth and as a mom of 2 boys that love watching you, i can only dream to someday have this experience at least from one of them haha - cheers and keep on dreaming big and fulfilling those dreams and inspiring us all to do the same. Your mom is so proud of u! 👍 👏👏👏

[@gazoakleychef]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment ❤️

[@paulinas_thyme]

I’ve discovered wild garlic first time ever this year! It’s absolutely delicious, made some jacket potato with it and even made a pesto! 🍃😋

[@camillaholst7321]

"..maybe I am italian"...? Love u, Gaz!! Your pasta looks amazing, and your kitchen is really a dream come true. Congrats

[@chloekaye426]

Honestly I nearly welled up at the end. Watching some one that whole heartedly loves what they do is a pleasure.. I love cooking for other people so much, some times I wish I had staying in the industry. Now I am a gardener, which is an honour to do. Nothing better in life than putting your all into simple tasks, and finding people who share that with you all the way. I'm so pleased your in your kitchen. Fab choice of music too. I hope you have many years of creative cooking in that beautiful space. Not jealous at all 👏🥹

[@angelacajot-ricci8251]

"Maybe I am italian, who knows" 😊 wirh the love you put in making the pasta you certainly are 😅 the machine is called a "nonna papera" i.e. duck grandma, from Donald duck and the 3 nephews spoiled by the cakes she bakes for them ! Great recipe indeed your raviolis ❤

[@grey5626]

[@NeVerToFinD]

It was a pleasure to watch. Everything looks so nice and the music that plays in the background goes so well with the pictures that we see. Makes me feel younger, gives it a nostalgic vibe! It reminds me of the time with my grandmother. By the way, you‘re mother is gorgeous!

[@hamrthroer]

YO I love the Italian espresso pot! My mom passed from earthly existence in 2012 but she is ever by my side while cooking and many other times. No one you truly love ever dies, the piece of them who existed for you lives evergreen in your heart and mind.

[@Vegan_Ness]
