Deliciously Basic and Less Expensive FULL ROAST DINNER

[@KentHiday]

I am 1000% positive that Frankie does not think those negative things about you. She knows your beautiful self. ❤

[@joanp105]

It is a total pleasure watching you and Frankie in each video. I am 81 years old and have been cooking as one of my many art forms, since about age 13. Do not use recipes but cook by taste, smell, and then the visual of each dish and completed meal. I have been almost totally vegan since a very young age and have never felt the need or desire to eat an animal. Foster mom for several rescues for over 40 years and this fills my soul with joy as well. Sending you wishes for a peaceful and fulfilled new year of 2025 in the USA.

[@theresam5388]

Amazing as always‼️This is now my New Year's recipe 🎉 My heart ❤️ takes a skip each time you mention Frankie a k.a. Ms. America 🐾🐾🐕🐾🐾 how she won't be here forever 😢. (I am very empathetic to those words/feelings). Enjoy each second with your baby girl for it is precious 💕. I don't want to be a "downer" . I know you absolutely love her it shines ✨ through and your love for Frankie is beautiful and pure, no BS. Sending you both positive thoughts for your next journey, I look forward to watching you both.

[@lisetteem588]

this is just sense isn't it? to love one or a few types of animal and preserve/rescue those, we just let the others alone..x

[@Evelyn-h5q]

I am 68 and like Gerald Durrell lived most of my life in a menagerie from wounded birds to raccoons falling down the chimney ... and my beloved Dad with his dogs, now rolling amongst the stars in the Sirius Constellation probably having an ineffable conversation with the late great Tom Petty. Watching you cook with authority is like watching Nureyev dance, an inspiration. It has been painful to observe that the average age of dogs has shortened .... usually due to the rubbishy kibble that well intentioned vets insist on. I don't care. I know how fragile life is and Kiwi will probably predesease me but as a 10 lb rescue Peke whose best friend is a magestic Rottie/Alsatian cross I know she is getting the best life she can. I Had a rough day today, miss my late husband like hell but I volunteer at a drop in centre where as a life long foodie I love the surprises that roll off that truck. 80 percent of the people prefer the vegan option. Also many people of no fixed abode are devoted to their dogs and there is a list of vets who are available. So I had no time to feel sorry for myself. Deep sadness, we get through it the human condition ,,,, Thank you Derek for being in the world.❤❤🐕🐕PS I always watch The Bishop's Wife on this day; Cary Grant the most improbable angel and, well it;s a tradition ,,,,

For someone who proclaims to be socially awkward, you shine here! You give me great tips, short cuts, waste management, and a feeling of inclusion. Some of my immediate family and friends don’t really understand why I chose vegetarianism many years ago. I am leaning more and more naturally into veganism. Thank you. Wishing you and Miss America Happy Holidays and safe travels.

Honestly, I could watch you cooking all day! You have absolutely transformed my own cooking, and made me much less scared of things! I love your recipes, and I do hope that when you leave the |UK, you will continueto post your videos, I would feel lost without them now! I know America is your home, so it's understandable that you want to go back - but Trump's America???? I hope you can keep out of all the madness. Good luck, and Merry Christmas.

You are really doing an excellent service for all who are struggling to feel comfortable in the kitchen. The way you are explaining what you are doing, why you are doing it and adding safety tips, combined with your cooking skills makes you a phenomenal teacher for all of us. I can’t thank you enough for these videos.

That is the prettiest tofu ever with those little leek rings on top! The whole meal looks super delicious and nice served in that black dish. Glad Ms. America cleaned that big pot for you 💚 May you Frankie, and all beings be happy.

It’s going to be hard to not have a regular Derek and Frankie fix, but there are so many previous videos to master, boredom will never set in!

Although I'm still hurting, learning to live through all this, I've picked myself and started my life again. Thanks to you and Miss America, have inspired me to cook again and appreciate good food. Love your videos. It's simple and so nutritious and the presentation is outstanding you are relaxed and easy going. So is Miss America ... lover her .. thankyou again ❤

[@bradlafferty]

It’s great that you’ re a professional chef but can still find the thrill in being happy about how the food transforms as it cooks! Wonderful! Great vid. Thanks, and pets for (wiseacre) Frankie, too!

[@escargotomy]

Yup, looks good! Basically blanched then roasted veggies and dressed up crusted tofu with sauce. I did something similar recently with tofu, portabello mushrooms, sweet potatoes and fresh spinach...also in a rosemary sauce. Rosemary is always very winter and holidays. Delish.

[@kellynkarr6270]

I love what you said about taking the time to make it and to give it the passion you would if it were an animal product. I use to spend a lot of time smoking meat, paying close attention to all of the details, and when I went plant based, I felt pretty lost with all the nuances of it. I definitely rushed my first sets of meals because it felt foreign to me and i couldn’t extract the flavors out of any dishes that I wanted to. But after some time and dialing in, the love came back. I’m REALLY enjoying the prep and cooking now. And the added bonus of no cross contamination. End all suffering. Thanks for this wonderful recipe, D. Into the great wide open! ❤

[@barbballas7942]

This is the ultimate comfort food dish on a cold day. Looks delicious! I can't decide which one of Frankie's comments made me laugh harder. They are all great and she is gorgeous!

I watched this at a friends and didn't study it too hard. I didnt buy any meat for Christmas because i just couldn't bring myself to. So i rumaged through his fridge and found all the ingredients to make this meal. I wasnt trying for perfection and let your recipe kind of just guide me. It came out so good and i find im craving it again. Ill probably make it once a week and make a couple extra for neighbors and friends.

Great video! I wish I had seen this before I left teaching. I used to teach food in secondary school and the kids would have loved to watch you and Frankie and learned stuff at the same time!

[@pamjackson3335]

We just finished eating this dinner and it was so flavourful! Simple things like the vegan mayo sauce and the seasoned nutritional yeast made the dish so fab. I have learned so much from watching you prepare food. That has simplified the process and made it fun and fast. I don’t use vegan butter and didn’t miss it. I put extra oat milk in the potatoes to make them soft. Gravy is a good substitute for butter.

The veggies will complete the vegan meal for my not vegan family (I am using the recipe partially) And of course I am using your insights about the timing and pre-preparation. So I am confident.
