This was the greatest aubergine I've ever eaten in my life

[@DerekSarnoChef]

A giant meal for a giant friend, see you next week!!

[@sarahikena9396]

I made this for dinner. Your recipes are easy to reproduce. Huge hit in our house! The fillets were amazing! Thank you!

[@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609]

You can also salt aubergine slices, squeeze out a bit of the liquid, fry them in (neutral) oil, then (out of the pan), squeeze some lemon over it, and finally drizzle some nice peppery olive oil over it. Lovely. Works with zucchini as well, but you don't have to squeeze that.

[@colsylvester639]

There's an encouragement for ALL of us to give it a go!

[@CherryNuggetGames]

Had to comment Derek. When you said "If you need medication to eat the diet you are eating, there is something wrong" it brought tears to my eyes. I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes and took medication for well over 4 years. Then I discovered plant-based eating and slowly turned my life around. I am now (a proud) vegan, and almost 1 year medication, and diabetes free because of the plant-based diet! Keep up the good work and inspiring change in people!

[@Kweesh]

It might be worth clarifying for anyone reading your message that avoidance of meat is not a key component of a diet specifically aiming to control blood sugar levels.

[@CherryNuggetGames]

@Kweesh I was not talking about "controlling" I was talking about reversing the diabetes. And extensive research (and my own experience) has shown animal fats to be a major (if not the) culprit in insuline resistance. So yes avoiding animal products saves lives.

[@nharber9837]

My migraines were also amplified when I ate meat. I honestly believe some people’s bodies benefit from different diets at this point. I’m not vegan any more, but I’m still vegetarian, and I have to say staying away from meat and focusing on making the majority of my food being whole plant based foods has helped reduce several of my other chronic illnesses as well. My body just simply feels better when I don’t eat meat, and that is more than enough reason for me to never eat meat again. I won’t pretend to know WHY it is that way for me, but if I never experience chest pain from the food I was eating again it’ll be too soon. My partner feels just fine after eating meat. His body likes it and he’s not negatively impacted, whereas my body files an official complaint and threatens to riot if I do not immediately return to the agreed upon approved foods list.

I practically want to cry. THANK YOU for the oil-free. Seeing a pro get into the details of working with oil-free is such a relief, so confidence inducing, so freaking gratifying. I know I can just eliminate the oil - I know I can use an air fryer or parchment paper or a silpat or broth/water/aquafaba/some kind of liquid but....after we take that detour, we're usually on our own in a recipe. To chase that down - to stay on the job of still making something great but minus the oil - is top-tier and a real kindness for us non-pros out here. MUCH appreciation Derek.

But your brain is mostly fat & takes physical damage if it doesn’t have adequate fats in the diet. They’ve linked low-fat diet with dementia, and also lack of C15:0 which is mostly in meat fat. My mother-in-law died of dementia and I just got divorced three years ago because my husband has dementia and went all paranoid before the doctors would do anything. he’s going to be gone in 5 to 10 years in the same horrible manner his mom went. I will do absolutely anything it takes to avoid that after witnessing it. Everybody makes their own choices. But all these extreme diets are being discovered as unhealthy. Anything to extreme seems to be bad for you. I’d rather balance out everything. That’s my choice. ❤

The nori and lemon zest move is particularly masterful! Thank you for sharing your compassion and creativity. 🌱🌱🌱

[@girllane1536]

Pro tip ! Dry toast your panko mixture before breading your fillet and putting it in the oven and you'll get a near identical texture and color to the fried version ! Just don't go too far dark on the dry toastig as you want it to finish in the oven, not burn. Also, I really dislike the texture that nori can get when it becomes soggy, so I always find it better to make a broth with kombu to flavour things instead. So if you're like me you could easily add some kombu broth to the buttermilk mixture.
