​@@SayWhatItsVeganhave you ever tried the oyster mushrooms in an air fryer instead of deep frying? If so, did it come out just as amazing as it does deep frying? 🤔 I'm curious.

The way my hand is hurting from trying to reach through the screen to grab a plate. The Mac and cheeze alone looks like it would cause my soul to leave my body. 🤤

I brought your cookbook last year to make my first vegan thanksgiving dinner. And it was and still is a HIT. The lasagna, ooh the Mac everything was gone and yes vegans and non vegans tore it up. Ooh and don’t forget the delicious desserts ❤. Thank you Chef Joya

So I am going to start Sunday night dinner once a month and your recipes will be served with a smile. Stay blessed and thank you so much for sharing your gift.

[@Twixy-513]

Go head girl ! It looks so good. I don't know you but I love you and I'm getting the book! I understand the soul food way vs raw all the time. While I don't mind raw vegan recipes, I just transitioned but my husbad is soooo reluctant and pessimistic about the vegan lifestyle. I thin this will help us transition off the cow quicker! I also have children and an opinionated mother-in-law so this will come in handy! Can't wait to try it. Thanks again.

[@taliahmonae7337]

Hi Chef Joya, great video! However, I recently bought your cookbook and noticed that the Mac & cheese recipe you used in the video is different than the one in the cookbook. Is one better than the other? Can we substitute the tapioca starch for the arrowroot flour? And the oat milk for the cashew milk? if he were to use the vegan sour cream should we reduce the amount of milk the written recipe calls for? Or should we just follow the written recipe as is?

I’m making this Mac ASAP! I was on your exclusive live when you first showed it 😊. What mushroom powder do you use is that like the mushroom seasoning? Because I have that but mine isn’t a powder it’s more like small pellets

[@SayWhatItsVegan]

It’s from the Asian market. It’s a silver bag with blue and red writing 😬

[@SianiB473]

Are the measurements for the mac n cheese the same as in your cookbook and do I only use the tapioca starch or both from the book?

2024, Now, that mac and cheese looks good. 😋 I make a good old-fashioned mac-cheese, and yours look close to mine. I've seen someone try to create your recipe. No ma'ma! I refused to eat it. They kept saying it's good, if that were ture. Why was the whole pan left after six days. It wasn't your mac and cheese. 😅

I don’t like the fact that she used beer like vegan. Suppose to be holy and cleanse and healthy on all aspects I don’t understand of going vegan when they have to use all these seasons can someone help me understand cause I don’t I was thinking about going vegan but it still seem like it’s unhealthy

[@SayWhatItsVegan]

@@jess8257 just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Best you educate yourself on the subject before publicaklu speaking about it. I’m not vegan for my health and so many others aren’t vegan for health reasons either.

[@S22..]

No shade but the food you cook is really unhealthy. The amount of processed ingredients are a big no! Sugar, salt and vegetable oil. All of this gonna give you high blood sugar, heart disease and obesity.

[@SayWhatItsVegan]

😆 I addressed this in the video. Don’t know why you’re here because there are plenty of raw or super healthy creators on KZbin. Thanks for the comment and contributing to the growth of my channel. Furthermore if you knew what you were doing you wouldn’t be on my page in the first place.

[@InkCat44]

When will people realize vegan food doesn’t need to be “healthy”?? (quotations because tbh it’s still healthier than eating dairy and meat). The point is eliminating animal products PERIOD. That’s it! Vegans still want to indulge and enjoy holiday food/ comfort foods. Do you make this comment on omnivore cooking channels?

[@tonya0601]

They saw what the video was about but proceeded to watch and criticize. Make it make sense.

[@S22..]

@SayWhatItsVegan I didn't mean it in a bad way. I watch your videos mainly because of your presence and nice attitude. And yeah, you addresed you're meaning of soulfood, but if you are creative enough to make soulfood vegan, why not take it up a notch and make it somewhat healthier? 😉

[@EhsanMusic]

​@@SayWhatItsVeganwhy are you being so rude? They were letting you know their opinion. If you don't like people's opinions, make all your videos private.

Ok I better stop watching food videos at this video for tonight before I go to the grocery store and try to cook. Don’t think my neighbors want to hear the fire alarm this late ❤❤❤❤❤thanks for sharing
