You truly deserve more subscribers. I've just got vegetarian and it's not been easy. I want to eventually be vegan, but vegetarian is the first step for me. Your recipes make me excited to cook more and be creative with veggies.

[@emyemyemyyyy]

Millipede Leech Awesome! That’s how I did it, too. It’s honestly not as hard as you think it is. You just do it and learn as you go, as with anything else! I’m going on 7 years now 😊😊

[@monikasycova6507]

Selene Cruz-Albrecht yes, i made the switch in September i guess. But I’ve been eating vegan food even when I was a vegetarian so it wasn’t big difference. However, family meetings were easier as a vegetarian...

[@양지혜-i3h]

[@leaf2576]

Oh my, those pizza rolls look AMAZING! I am definitely going to try out your recipe. Question-can the spelt flour be substituted for any other sort of flour, such as oat flour or regular whole wheat flour?

[@blackpaw357]

leafy girl Hi! Hope you don't mind me answering... Whole wheat should work just fine but using only oat flour might not work out well since oats are naturally very low in gluten which is what holds the dough together! But maybe try substituting about 1/3 of the flour with oat flour to switch things up? :)

[@Mina_Rome]

Hey :) You can spelt flour with all purpose. You can also sub it with wholewheat but then you need to add a bit more milk/water so it doesn't end up too dry.

[@catarinamadariaga4978]

Thanks for these great meal ideas 😋 they look delicioussss ☺️

[@elizabethshaw734]

Couscous isn't a grain, it is pasta. In the US most crescent rolls and many biscuits that both come in cans are vegan. Are use them often for these sorts of Roll-Ups both sweet and savory. Saves me time and effort has everybody knows have bad hands. I also just got home from the hospital with seven broken ribs a broken sternum a broken eye orbit and a broken bone in my foot. I daresay the ribs are the worst and I wouldn't wish broken ribs on my worst enemy. I had never broken a rib and never knew how incredibly painful it is. Thank you Mina for these easy recipes so that I can have some nice food at night for my main meal! :-)

[@EmmaHope88]

Elizabeth Shaw It's not actually pasta either. It's something in between. A bit processed, but not as processed as pasta.

[@blackpaw357]

Elizabeth Shaw Couscous is processed wheat. Actually just very coarsely ground up and steamed. So technically it's still a grain and not pasta :)

[@elizabethshaw734]

EmmaHope88 I live in Morocco for many years and you are incorrect. I made couscous every week by hand and it is made with exactly the same ingredients as pasta it is just an extremely small pasta so it can go up to the size of Israeli couscous and larger. There is no such thing as being in between a grain or a pasta a grain is a food group of its own and pasta is something made using grains that have been processed and then processed again into pasta. Have a great day! :-)

[@JesusLebtUndRettet]

Ich denke wo ein Wille ist, ist auch ein Weg, ich lebe seit über 10 Jahren vegan und habe ein Einkommen auf Harz4 Niveau, trotzdem ist vieles Bio was ich kaufe oder zumindest regional. Auch kaufe ich vegane Milch- und Fleischersatzprodukte. Auch wenn manches auf den 1. Blick teuer(er) erscheint, man säuft ja zum Bsp. vegane Milch nicht Literweise, sondern verwendet die zum Backen, in den Kaffee, mal dort n bisschen und da ein bisschen, ungesüßten veganen Bio Jogurt gibt es schon ab 1.60 für 500 Gramm, damit mache ich oft Dressings, verdünne die noch mit etwas Zitronensaft oder n Sprutz Pflanzenmilch. Und wenn man erstmal sein "Arsenal" hat mit Soßen wie Teryiaki, Soja, etc. kann man so einiges zaubern und hat lange daran, und am Ende ists günstig. Wie bereits auch gesagt kann man auch afrikanisch/asiatisch/kochen mit günstiger Kokkosmilch, auch Glas oder Mie Nudeln (die ohne Ei), oder Reis sind preiswert und durch die Kokkosmilch mit der richtigen Schärfe dazu kriegt das ganze gleich mehr gute Fette/Proteine etc. Grade im Winter ein Genuß. Aber auch abends im Sommer. Auch ein Super Tipp durch den man echt spart und auch an Verpackungsplastikmüll ist wenn man seinen Hummus selber macht, es gibt beim Türken, oder im Rewe/Edeka etc. große Dosen mit Kichererbsen, die Kosten nie mehr als 1,50 Euro, mit etwas Zitronensaft und Salz und Knoblauch und Öl zermatscht und voila 2 Riesengläser Hummus. Und viel günstiger als gekauft schnell gehts auch. Kreativ sein, ab und zu einiges selber machen etc. hilft viel. Und Minas Video hier helfen auch. Wir wollen einfach kein Teil mehr von der Tierausbeutungsmachinerie sein und dann findet man immer einen Weg ernährungstechnisch.

[@cintiagabriela3474]

Can the dough be used for sweet things like a cinnamon roll or smth else ?

[@K1amaze]

Cintia Gabriela I think if you don’t add the herbs and maybe make it a little sweeter, maybe different flour. I don’t see why not:)

[@cintiagabriela3474]

What kind of flour ?

[@K1amaze]

Cintia Gabriela I’ve only used all purpose flour and that seems to work out great for sweet and savory things. I don’t know but I feel like spelt flour and whole wheat flour would make it taste different and give it a different texture. You could also use oat flour

[@juliab1407]

She has a recipe for cinnamon rolls as well -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZral2mbftuZiM0

[@cintiagabriela3474]

Jule B yeah but that has fat

[@Curandoamores]

I'm wondering if you can use regular water and nutritional yeast rather than the chickpea water?

[@cleoraasaran9957]

Man...these rolls were looking really good as I was making them until I started rolling it. I don't know if the bread was too thin, or if I put too much ingredients, but it didn't look like a roll. And also the bottom was sticking to my counter which didn't help. I'm still going to bake them, but I bet it will just come out more of a pizza-filled bread instead of a roll.

[@femkevanaar9094]

Dear mina rome, i love watching you're videos but i come from the netherlands and i find it hard to transform cups into kilos and i don't know how to do that? I know you're from germany so i thought you might know it? Please answer my question i don't know what to do with that❤🤔

[@vveigvainens745]

Hey I just read your comment and I always found that really hard too. I live in switzerland and here we work with kilos/grams and I always had a hard time trying to do the maths. Best solution for me: buying cup measurements ;)

You can search it on the internet, that's what I do all the time😂 ✌️ just make sure u put like ' 1/4 cup OF CHOCOLATE to grams' or they'll give you the wrong weight
