[@gazoakleychef]

From plucking up the courage to start a KZbin channel to share my vegan recipes 5 years ago, to reaching over 1 million subscribers & now launching the first episode in my DIY food & travel show made with my friend & colleague Tom. What was just supposed to be a much needed holiday to Mexico earlier this year, I became so inspired by the rich culture & food in Mexico, I swiftly called up Tom and asked him to join right away, to make a film. I have long been inspired by tv chefs & personalities such as Anthony Bourdain, Action Bronson, Keith Floyd & Rick Stein, who travel the world sharing the beautiful stories of the local people. I have longed for the opportunity to do the same but in my style & promoting plant based food. The series Muy Rico will consist of 4/5 episodes, over the following few weeks & it will document the beauty & richness of Mexico & the Mexican people. We had to start with an episode based on TACOS! See what happens when I create my own taco for local taco EXPERTS. Thank you so much for watching and for supporting me over the years. Lets hope enough people watch & enjoy, so that one day maybe we’ll get a much needed vegan Netflix show! Big Love Gaz

[@ariasworld9991]

It was an amazing idea 👏👏👏👏 👏👏👏😍👏🥳

Love watching your videos! What a great eay to see the world and let folks know you can eat vegan and adjust ingredients from any cuisine to be vegan and still enjoy tasty ethnic foods!!! Best of everything to ya!

Beautiful camera work as well as the edit to go along with the food. Thanks for sharing this tremendous experience with us:3🌮🌮🌮

Viva!

[@jessicahennessey8880]

You are in Mexico, eating Mexican food and making Mexican food; that's basically our adoption process. My brother, you are Mexican. Welcome to the family 😊🌮 🇲🇽 mi casa es tu casa !

[@ChicanoPhD]

Yes! My favorite part of our culture! We take everyone in and they become family. 💜

[@VampguyN85]

That's awesome to know. I've taken at least a dozen vacations in Mexico and the hotel offers some cooking classes ocassionally. I love the country and culture.

Bienvenidos!!

[@laurakruseorozco]

As a long-time follower and Mexican vegan myself I cannot express the joy this brings me. I love to see the most amazing cuisine in the world shared to the vegan community by someone like yourself. Thanks for visiting! 🇲🇽🌱💕

[@gazoakleychef]

So happy you enjoyed, thank you so much for the support over the years ❤️ stay tuned for episode 2

[@azucenajz]

I am in tears!... you and Tom managed to capture all the flavours and spirit of the mexican people in such a beautiful way. I am mexican and haven't been able to come back in the last 3 years. Seeing you visiting some of my favorite places to eat and walking on the streets, hearing the music, brought me so much memories and joy! I love your channel so much and I'm sure this new project you are launching is going to be amazing and exciting. I can't wait to see the next one.

[@gazoakleychef]

Wow thank you, your comment just made it all worth it❤️ VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

[@Multilyrics2]

Your comment put me in tears. I'm Moroccan and it's also been 3 years that I haven't been able to go back there. I miss it so much. Hopefully we'll be able to go to our countries soon ❤ I also can't wait to visit Mexico. My soul feels like it's a place I'm gonna love. Would be a privilege to experience your beautiful and rich culture

[@the.nomad.soul.]

I live in Tulum and have seen so many vegan taco carts pop up in the last year its amazing! I drive by that one on my bike almost everyday and haven't tried it yet, definitely have to stop by!

[@gazoakleychef]

You won’t be disappointed, say hello to tonita for me

[@vrios6579]

As a Mexican vegan, I’m living for this content 🇲🇽 can’t wait for the next episode already!! 🥰🔥

[@gazoakleychef]

Wooooo 🇲🇽❤️ viva Mexico

[@cynthia06rubio]

As a Mexican from Mexico City, this video really brightened my day. Just to see other enjoy where I’m from and knowing how much we’ve evolved integrating veganism to our very meat-heavy culture is just so amazing. Thanks Gaz 🥲💚

[@dakotaovdan]

When I spent a few months in Mexico I gained almost 10 pounds and I was eating vegan 😂, authentic Mexican food is so much better than most Mexican restaurants in the US

[@dakotaovdan]

@@FlamingBasketballClub that’s sweet! It’s so awesome that more and more people are interested in plant based food too!

[@poolerboy]

Hasta las vacas engordan

[@idakwiatkowska2862]

You gain weight eating to much calories not from eating meat!? 😅

[@hummtp]

Not sure if you can call Mexican food in the US even authentic to Mexican cuisine. It’s best to keep both separate and still appreciate both for what they are, as they both use what is available to them to create or recreate dish’s from Mexico. Just food for thought.

[@Tracydot3]

Outside of Mexico, the only places to get good Mexican food is California, Texas, and New Mexico. But of course Mexican food tastes the best in Mexico.

[@FonGomez]

Just wanted to tell you that me and my chef girlfriend just watched this episode whilst eating vegan tacos here in our home, in Mexico City. Let us know when you return so we can teach you more traditional dishes from scratch! Beautiful episode! So happy to see you enjoying everything this country has to offer

[@perlaperlapr]

Wow, I'm so happy to see you in Latin lands! The Mexican food is so delicious. You need to make vegan tamales. Es delicioso!!!!!

[@gazoakleychef]

Coming up 👀👀

[@Bre-o6i]

@@gazoakleychefwhat? Where ???

[@mindyruizgallagher1593]

I'm so happy to see you in Mexico!! The indigenous cuisine was mostly plant-based. Such a beautiful place, the warmest people, and loving culture. Love this series, Gaz!

[@aditisingh8004]

I like it how you have started giving historical references of the food in your videos. I hope your good work grows way bigger than this, eagerly waiting for the other videos. Cheers, Gaz!

[@renebayona2986]

As a Mexican, I want to thank you for this. The coverage of vegan options and the kindness of Mexican people was beautiful to watch. I look forward to watching all of the next episodes of this series, buen provecho!

[@superduraznita]

I’ve been waiting for this since I knew you were here in Mexico. I can’t wait to see the next episodes!!! I hope you guys come back soon. 🇲🇽 ❤️

[@charlottetatts]

Give this man a tv show! Absolutely loved this💛 I’ve just returned from Mexico and it is my favourite place in the world because of how nice the people are and how rich the culture is

Thank you for doing this. I’m Mexican and I never thought I could eat authentic Mexican tacos again. I can’t wait to try them!!

[@YoShiCrazii]

Watching your best vegan burger from 3 years ago! You also said you’ve always wanted to go To Mexico! & look at you now!! Congrats to you! Can’t wait to watch! ❤️

This video is fire, my friend. Loved the flow of it.

I just love this video so much! So respectable of the culture! 🇲🇽

[@jimmywyllie6694]

Incredible Gaz! Love that you are getting recipes and techniques from the source! Adds validity to your recipes as well as places the people of these culinary cultures at the center. Amazing work as always!

[@gazoakleychef]

Thanks Jimmy 🙏❤️

[@g.christelbecker6349]

I so enjoyed watching this! KZbin has not offered this video to me, I found it watching you garden tour. I love your enthusiasm, your charismatic connection with the Mexican people and your excitement and passion for eating plants. Thank you for this!!!

[@edyann]

Thank you for coming to my country. Glad you enjoyed it. Hi from northern Mexico. ♥️

[@jennrae67]

I can’t wait for you to get the attention of Netflix. Vegan food and vegan street food around the world is amazing and you’d be the perfect guide.

[@sooorandom6792]

Hello from 🇬🇺. Love the incorporation of history behind the dish. I'm not a vegan, but your videos inspire me to eat less meat, eat more veggies, and be intentional about not wasting anything. Your passion for food inspires and informs, thank you. 💕

[@edirice]

Thanks for sharing your travel experience in Latin America! Our culture is super rich and colorful

[@gazoakleychef]

It certainly is! That’s why the show had to be called muy rico 🇲🇽❤️

[@mas54444]

Yes! This video was much needed! 🇲🇽Mexican food is the absolute best

[@TonyaTko]

Amazing production Gaz! Big tingz a g'wan!! Soooo proud of you and where the channel is going. This travel show is BETTER than a restaurant in UK ❤️❤️ 🌮 🌮

[@gazoakleychef]

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 I could do both…👀

[@missadavison_vintage]

I've always wanted to go to Mexico 🥲🥰 🇲🇽 This looks like the trip of a lifetime, so jealous!!! Can't wait for more episodes!!! 💚

it’s incredible

Please come visit! You'll love it

[@elizabethaguilar7040]

Mexican here following you for a long time now and it is weird but at the same time exiting seeing you cooking with produce that I'll be able to get at my local grocery stores, I really hope everyone were respectful and kind with you here 💕

[@etjulien]

Gaz, you are an amazing chef! Thank you for introducing millions to how tasty plant-based/vegan food can be! Always appreciate your videos!

[@gazoakleychef]

Thank you so much for the support ❤️

[@braberi]

Thank you so much for visiting my marvelous country and enjoy our magical food. I hope I had seen you when in Mexico City as I am a big fan!

[@luisalejandrogarciagarcia2975]

I'm excited for you being there! I've been in the channel for 3 years now and I got really happy when you accomplish things like these! Wish you the best pal, you deserve it. Greetings from Argentina

[@waterym1449]

A HIGHLANDER in Mexico with a taste for Ancient glorious food! You can't beat that!!

[@pianomusic15]

It’s mind boggling how these videos don’t attract as much attention as the others. Even though there’s a language barrier, cooking is a universal language and brings people together. You can sense all the love and community in these travel videos. And you learn a lot! Keep these kinds of film/documentary style videos coming!! 💚🌱🌎

[@patriciadiaz7049]

Gaz, I enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for showing the world our amazing culture, people and food. This is so beautifully done! Your battered stuffed jalapeño taco looks so delicious! I can’t wait to make it!

[@joletty1793]

I am SO jealous!!! Such a beautiful place to visit, experience, the vibes there, the colors, the people humble, hardworking, thank you so much for sharing! I will be visiting soon! Love, love, love your channel!!! 💖😊🥰🥰

[@Dechevail]

Mexican party's don't end ,so I know those flavors where from out of this world❤️🥦🌮

[@hamburgerzzzzz]

Love this! When I first went to Mexico as a vegetarian in 2014 there weren't a lot of options, but it looks like things are changing 🙌 Can't wait for the rest of the series

[@enrique.lozano]

I think the options were already there, but it's gotten easier to find them. I remember eating at an all vegetarian buffet near Tepic 20 years ago. It helped that my buddy and his abuelita knew I was coming so they asked around before I arrived.

[@artees7512]

This was such an enjoyable episode, I was so disappointed when it was ending, I wanted to see more! Can't wait for the next one! Those tacos looked so delicious, made me hungry while watching.

[@elsamoon6930]

I usually don't enjoy tourists coming to Mexico. Most try to bargain with locals and increase my rent when they choose to stay and drive small businesses out of work.... but you, my friend... I welcome you with open arms. The love and appreciation you show towards my people is unmatched. The fact that you can get behind a local stand and humbly whip up some magic. Chef's kiss.

[@matthieugill]

I've been waiting for more documentary-style content since Salt of the Earth and this did not disappoint. Looking forward to the next episodes ✨

[@gazoakleychef]

Thanks so much Matthieu 🙏🙏

[@miraortp]

I love this! And how you show the real Mexico, the one that almost every foreign dismiss. The country with colorful streets and nice people, not only the pretentious fanciness of expensive places.

[@helpershelper]

My Tia Mariya made us, her nieces from scratch tortias! Enchiladas and many very delicious Mexican meals. We were about 9 to 11 yrs old. What a wonderful memory you have stimulated! BRAVO! TY

[@Glitteryspirit]

Brilliant production! The tasting of multiple tacos, capturing the culture, and flavors, and adding the twist of even cooking your own to bring and share with the people. the jackfruit plantain combo looks incredible. really enjoyed this clip!

[@deanaberhe2791]

God bless you Gaz! So pure and humble I’m rooting for you 🙏🏾

[@monicabecerra7286]

I was smiling ear to ear this entire video !! I love you excited you are to be in Mexico enjoying our culture ❣️🇲🇽

[@performingpatrick]

Oh Gaz I absoulutely loved the idea of having a film series all about your holiday to Mexico! It was a delight to watch, it looked lovely weather and the people were so friendly to have you in Mexico! I bet you had a wonderful time, maybe next time you could learn some Mexican before coming to the country. Best of luck for you on your holidays and the crew! 😃Muy es siempre!...

[@arturoarino]

amazing video! I am a mexican living in europe for 12 years and you really brought some good memories today!! thanks for showing mexico as it is!

[@jacquelineteale4937]

Hi Gaz! Great video! Your taco's looked epic! That was my daughter and her fiance that you served. She and her twin, and elder brother and me (mumma) all are subscribers, and vegans. The twins bought yoyr book as soon as it came out, my daughter and ger fiance said you were so nice, they are still in Mexico, back to sunny England next month. It was a massive highlight to meet you, and they said your food was delicio! Looking forward to your upcoming video's. Bless you Gaz, enjoy the rest of your stay

[@underratedunity1528]

This is great news! When I lived in the states I was a hard-core Mexican food fan, I turned vegan and lost nearly all of my favourite meals waaaa but to see that there are some vegan taco options, authentic in Mexico makes me so happy for my next trip!

[@JustReckles5]

You’ve been one of my favorite KZbin personalities and to see this content is pure joy. Gracias Amigo!

[@chaviralou1897]

I am smiling from ear to ear watching this fantastic culinary adventure! I am Mexican, from the north and I miss the authentic flavor from my beautiful country. I grew up eating corn tortillas, beans, rice, and without knowing it was plant based all along! Love love love..absolutely love all your videos and this one hit home. Thank you for the wonderful work and for taking me back to my roots during this video🤩

[@metatrontf]

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! Gaz, I can't imagine how wonderful it'd be to taste your food. What a wonderful video, it's so wholesome to see you enjoying yourself!

[@TheVirtualStealth]

My favorite part about food stands in Mexico are all the sides. The pickled onions, the cactus!

[@BrendaGomez-ui2gf]

Im soo excited for this serious, it was filmed so beautifully and I love that you are exploring such a rich culture with offerings of veganism in the hearts of mexicoooo! Viva la rasa 🇲🇽

It was a really positive, relaxing and happy video 🐝 It's always peaceful to watch Gaz with his creative and positive personality 🙏🏻

[@angieroa4000]

Aww I love it! This brought me back to my roots. I haven't been back to Mexico in 4 years and I miss it so much. I been following you for quite some time and your culinary skills are amazing, your recipes are so delicious. And this is my first comment ever on KZbin. That's how much you moved me.

[@yaritzagloria2034]

Wow, this is wonderful. Thank you so much for showing the world how beautiful Mexican recipes are and mouth watering. I smiled every step of the way. Welcome to the familia amigo👏

[@crossjadam]

Incredible production here Gaz, such an experience to meet these small local business owners and share their food and stories. Looking forward to the next episode. 👍🌶

[@pixievincent2478]

My mouth watered with every taco you ate (despite being full from my own supper)! It would be amazing to learn how to make them myself. Especially those tortillas!

[@lucyzee7664]

I never wanted this video to end!!!! So beautiful thank you for getting to know the people of Mexico & our food. We love you 💕

[@Areflectorsjourney]

What a wonderful adventure-travel-and-food-movie, dear Gaz! It shows you and your warm and compassionate personality in a whole new light for me - and I love it!❤And I can only guess how much work you and your team have put into that video. And it is so worth it. Thanks🙏

[@sandravega6165]

I didn't think it was possible to love you more chef. I'm so happy you enjoyed Mexico.

[@tammieupton6257]

This is exactly what I was looking for, a fun chill video with a little food to make me hungry. Thanks fior taking us with you on your travels and please more videos.

[@jennifergibson6878]

I love your Mexico series!! I can't wait to watch your new adventure! Thanks for inspiring me with your videos.

[@Ella.L.]

Tacos are one of my favourite meals ever; they're so versatile and flavourful! I make them AT LEAST once a month 😋

[@sandraslambert890]

I'm so happy you got to visit and enjoy food from the country where I was born. So excited for a future book including a little bit of Mexican spice!

[@cearalambert3541]

The content you guys put out is some of my favorite. I love seeing this different venture. Beautifully done ♥️

[@anaisbismuth8087]

I love this new series 😍 So happy to discover Mexican food through your eyes

[@SovietMOB]

I had to rewatch this one after the release of the short video from yesterday. Gaz you went way above doing this one !! The Tacos and tortillas being made and what you ate, plus all the history you did! You truly are a legend in the food world! I’ve got so many people watching your channel now. I think everyone is most afraid of not being able to replicate your recipes. Takes a whole lot more than just mixing a few ingredients together. Cheers!!

[@steelfist7603]

I wish this was more common everywhere…where people go around sharing their food creations.

[@dilipparmar3730]

Gaz. This 15 minute video is probably one of the best I have seen on food from different cultures. Beautifully shot in technicolor so please congratulate Tom on the good work there. The simplicity of freshly made tacos cooked in front of you is just perfection. Dilip

[@konradbanys2239]

It's a pleasure to see a video with so many beautiful people. Warms my soul.

[@adrianchavez5102]

These cooking traditions are a gift from our indigenous ancestors. Mexico is incredibly diverse and every region has its own traditions and cuisines. There's at least 68 indigenous languages in Mexico and I speak a little bit of one of them, Nahuatl! (the most popular culture to speak this language were the Aztecs, but it has existed before them). I've been to Tulum too and so far the best vegan tacos I've ever tasted were from there! Xikpiya se kwalli ohtli! May you have a good path!

[@musicismyhothotsex92]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@Soussand]

I just really want to go to Mexico! Thank you for the video! Saludos desde España 🙂

[@elpretender1357]

I wasn't expecting a video like this at all, it's much better than I expected, this dynamic of going to another country to try their food and let them try a recipe made by you is quite enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

[@angel19093]

Thank you for taking us on such a rich adventure with you. I enjoyed every moment. I want to try to make all those tacos. Looking forward to more adventure videos!

[@Phantomlover323]

This video gave me everything I love from the Food Network, Travel And Discovery Channels, but in a more genuine way! I love the respect and appreciation you show for the Mexican culture; your willingness to try to speak the language is so commendable and endearing! Keep it up! Can’t wait to see the fourth part of this series. Truly obsessed! Just hate that the notification system didn’t alert me of the videos when they came out. Glad that I found them anyway! Keep up the great work, love! Sigue adelante, nosotros estamos contigo

This is the epitome, you’re truly an inspiration and an incredible cook. My friend asked to borrow my copy of your book and has not returned it. She’s switching to a plant-based diet and enjoying your recipes like I do. Now, Mexican food is my ultimate favourite food and I’m African and one of the few vegans in my country. Love this and can’t wait For the coming episodes 👌🏾😘
