Essential Ingredients for your Vegan Kitchen | THE HAPPY PEAR

[@catherinepatin9961]

Butter Beans (probably my absolute favorite bean) are Butter beans in the US also. Navy beans are much smaller and a definitely different kind of bean.

[@thehappypear]

Ah, thanks for the info Catherine!!! 🙌😄

[@isabellerogan9299]

I'm Irish and I'm 11 and I remember that the happy pear would come into our school and do a food guessing game and smoothie making it was really fun and we did it right before our sponsored walk. I love the humans you guys sell and I also love the pesto that you guys sell and it is the only pesto that my brother will eat

[@thehappypear]

Ah Isabelle, thrilled hearing you remember us, thankyou thankyou for all your support and big BIG love to you and your brother!! 😘🤗💚

I've been loving making sweet potato in a fry pan, cutting them into chunky fries and putting herbs on them and then dipping them into gokamoli.

[@thehappypear]

Love it Jayne!!!! Sounds EPIC!!!!!😍🤤🙌

[@justingooding647]

Just like my own pantry, I LOVE it! We call them 'Butter Beans' here in America too, but they are usually slightly larger & more 'buttery' when cooked, kind of like a lima bean but more so, very Southern.

[@justingooding647]

The B-52s even wrote a song about them! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWbQqXljoq6Gf7c

[@thehappypear]

Ah super stuff! 😄😋🙌

[@matiaspastorini4041]

chia seeds are great as a substitute of egg in a veggie burger or an oatmeal cookie and dates for sweetening

[@zz-ic6vy]

Matías Pastorini As well as flaxseed egg

[@corsicanlulu]

i also put it in almost all my drinks to help me go to the bathroom

[@sisukaslife]

Flaxseed, chia seed, ground them ready, or soak. Accidentally made Tahini with Sunflower seed because read recipe wrong when first made it. Love it in hummus! Dried Split peas, Quinoa, Buckwheat, Dried green lentils etc lentils, Dried Chickpeas, and so much more ....

[@mmenz3662]

[@daisywestwood828]

This is so useful, I've been vegan for almost 7 months and I've found myself going back into eating more junk food like Oreos bagels etc, this will be so useful for my next shop!

[@Horseinacorset]

Not sure if you guys have come across Lancashire sauce before, but I REALLY recommend you get your hands on some. It's a vegan alternative to Worcestershire sauce, and it has a really nice, rich umami flavour. I'd be willing to bet you'd prefer it even to tamari!

[@thehappypear]

Ah super Jonathan will def check it out 😘🙌😄

[@jasonmoroney9814]

[@thehappypear]

Love em Amy! 😄🙌👍

[@elfe1982]

I always have dill, garlic powder, sweet chilli sauce, millet (ground), apple cider vinegar and Thai green curry paste on stock. Can't live without them 😊. I love to make a Lima or white bean paste with lemon juice, aubergine, onions, garlic, tamari, dill, chilli flakes, pepper, olive oil and apple cider vinegar! Tastes delicious and the kids love it.

[@thehappypear]

You're fab, Bianca!!!! 👍🙌

[@saha9848]

[@thehappypear]

[@danalee2438]

Love this vid ! Thank you for making it, I do keep cumin, parsley and cracked wheat. lemons, olive oil, canned beans and fresh corn tortillas. I make our own tortilla chips, As a America of Sryian decent, our family always preferred light Tahini . You can also make it with lemon and it can seize up on you always use water to thin and put it on grilled Mediterranean veggies. or vegan stuffed grape leaves. olives,

Hi. Great video!! I always have oats, canned beans, tomatoes, store bought oil free eggplant hummus, potatoes, garlic, onions, and the same spices you have. Some date syrup and maple syrup. Date syrup goes amazing with coconut vanilla ice cream. It tastes like chocolate syrup but better.

[@thehappypear]

Brilliant Elena!!! 🙌🙌🙌😄

[@TheCatAnimations]

Hey, I'm a new vegan of about 2 months and I love your channel. I'm also interested in learning how to cook. Do you have any videos on must-know recipes (like tomato sauce) and skills (like knife skills)? Thanks :)

[@thehappypear]

THat's brill! Great idea, we'll put it on the list!! 😜😄

[@dawncierelli1510]

Hi guys! This is very helpful. I'm already a chef but the flavor combinations and pantry items for a new vegan (like myself & husband--going on our second year) is awesome!!! Thanks for your channel, it really brightens my day! :))) (I've already learned a lot)

[@ronniebashiry8785]

This is probably the most helpful video you guys have!

[@thehappypear]

Cheers Ronnie- glad to hear it!! 😄🙌👍

[@BreannLaFaye]

Perfect timing handsome twins! Getting my grocery list together for the week. 👍🏽❤️

[@thehappypear]

Brilliant Breann! Thrilled to help!! 😄🙌👌

[@annbarron606]

Great video for starting from just scratch or moving in. It's also nice to have some mixed herbs and bay leaves. Spot on with mention cumin first, it's so nice especially when really hungry and the curry powder has run out lol easy know I only have a few recipes learned off. Hunger is a great sauce. Oh yes I like mango chutney in my curry and have used apricot jam instead as an alternative that works very well. Carrots a good cheap alternative to sweet potatoes or butternut squash in a recipe. Now that you done store cupboard essentials. What would ye think would be good to have from starting out with regards pots, pans, wooden spoons. I have to say I did manage without my garlic crusher but having one again was great. I suppose a can opener with be one that one would want.

[@thehappypear]

Love it Ann you're brill!! Will definitely put the utensil essentials on the list! 😄😋🙌

[@itssewxtra1713]

Jess Beautician is moving to Dublin!! I so hope you will collab with her on something! I didn't even ask her if she wanted to, who wouldn't? I love your channel!!

[@michaeladickinson5669]

I've been buying a 'bean' pate from holland and Barrett which I am addicted to but it can get pretty expensive as you don't get a lot. Could you pleeeaaassee do a video on recipes for vegan pâtés? As I really loved the one you did for hummus 😊

[@thehappypear]

It's going on the list, Michaela!!! 🙌😄😋

[@michaeladickinson5669]

[@evaszabo5588]

[@kelseymartin1005]

Could you guys do a Vegan Caponata recipe? I would love to learn how to make it!

[@thehappypear]

I love all of your videos. I'll go to Ireland in October because I love you guys and I wanna see where you live and I wanna get good quality food with cheap price! I'm Japanese and vegan. There is not a lot of people who are vegan here so that I basically cannot go out to eat anything (if you have ever been here you can probably tell). My priority is being healthy and treating myself well. Seeing you guys being happy makes me happy. Thank you very much for being awesome and inspiring!! I really hope to see you guys in person in Ireland!!!!!!!

[@thehappypear]

Wow that's amazing to hear!!! We'll be looking forward to your visit!!!!! 🙌😄😍

[@thehappypear]

Hahahaha brilliant, Crystal!!! 🙌😄😍

[@steffandall5785]

Watching your videos, made me realize, that Danish and Irish food culture is similar. Though the dishes and ingredients comes from all over the world. Wondering if you also use nettles for soups or even in your hummus?

[@thehappypear]

Thats brill Steffan! We use it for tea or soup sometimes! 😄🙌😋

[@helpinghandsolutions8665]

You guys have made going vegan so simply for me and enjoyable. Thank you two for your service.

[@tmdavidson1478]

cilantro is the leaf coriander is the seed. I also keep large flake toasted coconut, black beans (makes the best hummus, black bean soup and colourful protein addition to salads) I don't do soy so as a replacement for tamari I use coconut aminos (sweeter than soy sauce) Chia seeds for you name it...sesame oil (nommm). I also use tarragon a lot.

[@thehappypear]

Ah you're fab! Brilliant additions! 👍🙌😄

[@josephwagner5996]

[@rogercawkwell5413]

A few Quorn products are Vegan (& are labelled as such) but most contain a little egg white as a binder. I talked to someone who used to work for the company in Billingham and he told me that they are interested in finding alternatives.

[@valeriemeehan7236]

No one is being rude . Don't change guys . Where can I get Smoked Paprika ? I tried Tesco , Lidl , Aldi and your Clondalkin shop. Love love love your Buddha Bowl by the way.

Actually I'd like to ask if you can post more about your cafes hehe. What's it like? Show us around the place! Or "a day at the cafe" type video.

[@thehappypear]

We'll put it on the list Noor!!! 😄🙌👌👍

[@nooisebots]

theres an easier way to make couscous than what he said use equal parts couscous and water, 1/2 cup(1dl) i find is good for just me. bring the water to a boil, remove from the heat, add the couscous and cover with a lid. let it sit for a 2-5 minutes and stir with a fork Done

[@toaters]

I'm not vegan but love your videos. Some great ideas guys. Thanks! x

[@poisonivy794]

Hey guys, love the vid! It's great to have resources like this on youtube. I doubt anyone will see this but I'd be very greatful if you two could share some picnic friendly recipes. My anniversary with my significant other is coming up and between college and work we don't get much time to spend together. For our first date I made a very elaborate picnic basket, but recently I'm trying to consume less dairy so I'd love any ideas anyone could throw my way! I'll also be hiking a short way with the food, so anything that's a real hassle to transport is also a no go. :)

[@thehappypear]

Hey! We'll have a vid on travelling with food up soon so hopefully that will help you out!! 😄🙌😋

[@poisonivy794]
