[@amilee2343]

I want a tshirt that says "leeks on fleek"

[@hotforfood]

ME TOO. Was going to make those... but meh haha

[@Wooplot]

Leek spin

[@lilysoverhere]

I'd buy that

[@amilee2343]

Matt Smith But "hella" doesn't rhyme with leeks! Lol

[@marykacyy6802]

Ami Lee Lol I just made one! Using my Inkjet printer and transfer paper, Wish I could show yall :/ but yt doesnt let post pics

[@KIMFORTI]

Does anyone else enjoy Lauren eating?

[@hurricanefrid]

I first read "vegan greek latin" and was so confused lol

[@hotforfood]

so many people keep saying that! haha

[@hurricanefrid]

hot for food It feels good that I'm not the only one though, haha! The dish looks suuuper delicious btw, my grandpa loves leeks so I'll probably make this for him pretty soon!

[@rebeccahuber7824]

Frida Helena wait...that’s what I read! What does it actually say? Hahaha.

[@mandyemais]

me too!!!!!!!! It's the brain rearranging the words so it makes sense to you lol

[@rachelcurl9969]

Omg ME TOO!! WHAT IN THE WORLD??

[@sexybluelady]

I REALLY need to stop watching your videos when I'm hungry and haven't ate yet. I'm sitting here drooling!!!!!!!!

[@hotforfood]

YAAAY! haha

[@denishahobbs1679]

Justanother fancy screenname glimpses sdcfl

[@sarahgoddard2001]

My grandma has always made an ogratin with broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots mixed in with a ton of cheese and cream, topped with a good layer of breadcrumbs. I've been wanting a vegan version forever! I can't wait tot make this!

[@brioche8123]

Your hair looks so bodacious! When I was in elementary school my cafeteria would always serve potato au gratin. I always loved it...probably more than the other kids..

[@hotforfood]

that's a fancy cafe!

[@rebekahwall2529]

Lauren, you are just shining and thriving. This recipe is leeks on fleek for real. Thanks for leading me down my vegan journey; I'm cooking up my first vegan thanksgiving today thanks to your inspiration! ❤

[@hotforfood]

awww thank you!!!! glad I could help ya :D

[@arcoeagle]

The only mouth noises I will tolerate are from Miss Lauren Toyota lol... Much love, much gratitude! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@hotforfood]

:D

[@mandyemais]

This smoked gouda is the bomb. It's the perfect match to my vegan McMuffin! yummy!!!! I love gratins! ty

[@hotforfood]

OH YES!

[@amandinebula]

Thanks Lauren for this recipe! In Belgium we do a lot of gratins usually with endive, ham and cheese. I don't like endives so my mom used to do it with leeks for me. Since I'm vegetarian I don't do it because I don't eat ham but using smoked vegan cheese seems like a great idea to add this "ham" flavour 👌 YUM! 😋

[@JulieVandenKerchove]

Fabulous idea Lauren! Gotta love veggie gratin 😊 It's such a classic here in Belgium, I'll be sure to try your recipe too! Big hug from Belgium xx

[@user-pg9ps1co6h]

If Lauren were to make mukbang videos of her recipes/fav restaurants/takeout I'd totally watch. I just love her reaction to food. 🤗🙈 #noshame

[@plantaetivoli1178]

The best actor cannot reproduce the ever so spontaneous and quick changing facial expressions you make while eating. I love you no matter what but these (not sponsored or live videos) are the best. Do not care, I mean it, about suggestions or comments on live videos. People can comment, you reflect and ponder, and you can say something about it next time. You're best(always for me) when you're naturally yourself, no make up, in your head, sharing your moments of joy. I have a spoiled bratty cat myself (unlike yours) which I can't get enough of but always Looove when you try to get Snickles into your videos. Peace, Raquel

[@hillaryhonde8425]

Can you make vegan paneer butter masala next?? ❤️

[@magda_pie]

I don't how you keep coming up with amazing recipes after amazing recipes. you are a genius!

[@TetelestaiontheCross]

Man I don’t need thanksgiving to make this. Looks amazing! Love these side dish videos!

[@hotforfood]

that's right!

[@Ranunculus000]

Always uploading just in time to save my butt, Lauren! I had no clue what to take as my side to this year's thanksgiving and this looks so amazing!

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

I love the way she just digs in and says MMMMMM! Best part of the tutorial!

[@jenniewasgehtsiedasan4566]

Interesting idea to make a gratin out of leek 😊 I'm going to try this asap 😄 Love you Lauren! ❤

[@hotforfood]

YAAAY!

[@nataliag.5523]

Made this three times. One time complete, other without the crispy topping and another time over the stove. Flavor is great.

[@mbrower08]

I know what I am making for dinner tonight! I have left over potatoes and broccoli I have to use up. This looks so good!

[@hotforfood]

YESSS!

[@Mike_Fahmy]

That looks absolutely amazing I need this in my life right now. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe with us. That looks so yummy.

[@littlelizzy9795]

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Leeks usually intimidate me but you've just convinced me to give them another go. You're the best!

[@ccrandolph118]

Omg!! Where was this recipe before I went shopping!? Lol #salivating

[@Pwig81]

I’m definitely gonna try this recipe! By the way you are the cutest!

[@tiinah5602]

I had no idea gratin was so easy! Maybe I should try it out at home 🤓

[@leylapicou4500]

Yes, I properly know how to prepare leeks haha It was a guessing game before

[@Dozzzzy]

Umm how did I not know you had another channel!?!?

[@laurenbyrd7155]

Made this for dinner tonight!

[@lilianr513]

[@Shadey485]

Oh my gosh... Hello Christmas side dish :D thank you Lauren!!

[@mauricepowers3804]

Omyfreakinggod!!!!! I so love leeks and since going vegan almost 3 months ago I made leek potato soup and it just was not the same as I used to make it so I cannot wait to do this and I love your channel I have just now found it tonight and I'm looking forward to getting on your website and printing off some recipes!!💖🎄

[@moonshine4049]

This look AH MAY ZING!! I CANNOT wait for your book!!!! Anddddd the little ebook teaser release!! Love you!!

[@hotforfood]

THANK YOU!

[@consciousmela7851]

Loved your video, this dish looks delicious, and you're such a pro at cooking! My wife and I make lots of vegan food on our channel as well, so we know that vegan foods can be super delicious! Sometimes they're better than what I remember non-vegan food tasting like :) Looking forward to more uploads! :)

[@sophianunya3503]

I am so tired but I don't care. I love watching your videos.

[@alexisg.1737]

Haha as a French, I love how you say "gratin" :D

[@hotforfood]

:/

[@beachluvr177]

How do you say it? Could you try & spell it out phonetically?

[@alexisg.1737]

I don't know how to spell it out phonetically sorry! However, internet says it's like that: ɡʁatɛ̃ Not sure that's going to help you!

[@stephaniecoulter1446]

Kids are out of school today so we all sat down to wstch this and now the kids are urging me to go to the store for leeks. Lol

[@mbrower08]

I have left over leeks and left over caesar dressing to use up soon. Thanks for the inspo!

[@amperstandheart]

I won't make this for Thanksgiving and I've never had leeks before but this looks so freaking delicious I can't wait to try it. I love it saucy too! 'Cheesy' anything with a veggie is made for me but the crispy top takes it over the edge. Must make!

[@meemoo9693]

i literally got leeks yesterday (trying to be adventurous) and had absolutely no idea what to do with them! THANKS LAURENNNN!

[@Veganyackattack]

Damn, this is clever as hell! Looks so good!

[@Veganyackattack]

Sidenote, I super love that baking dish

[@hotforfood]

hehe thanks!!!

[@tamcon72]

This would work well at Christmastime, too! Or for eating accompanied by baguette toast and a glass of crisp white wine beside the fireplace with one's lovey, or . . . I'll stop before it gets away from me and say, it looks delicious and TFP!

[@jenniferwilliams4371]

I said on your Instagram post yesterday that I find leeks intimidating......but you make this look so easy! I'm definitely going to make this and post a pic!

[@hotforfood]

hope you like it!

[@madeleineee]

Your catchphrase for hot for food should be "mmm!" :) You say it every time

[@tammyglaim6733]

I loveee that shirt too! I love your channel Lauren! Hope your day is amazing!✨💚

[@AmbroseReed]

This looks stunning 👌

[@m.malfoy5212]

Omg that looks to die for

[@perfumaphilia3246]

Beautiful recipe, Lauren! And I'm in love with your shirt! It's so cute while looking insanely comfortable. Please tell us where you got it?

[@LiLu3000]

It looks more like a butter massage than a bath :)

[@mgizzleness]

I spit coffee on my laptop at "leeks are on fleek."

[@choppychubba123]

So easy but looks freaking amazing I’ll need to try this 🌱

[@HANCHI2Y]

Helya!!! Not going to bed until seeing you upload the video!!! In loved

“They’re very tall.” -Lauren Toyota, 2017

[@GamingFoodie]

I need to try this recipe I absolutely love leeks!

[@rebeccahuber7824]

I have never tried leeks in my life. I will have to now!!

[@hotforfood]

yassssss

[@martharuvalcaba9685]

First thing I see when I get on youtube! Love it!

[@martharuvalcaba9685]

Also! You look amazing!

[@Kimdb998]

How do you come up with these ideas dude?!🤤🤤😍😱

[@marilyn358]

I’m doing several of your dishes for tomorrow I’m so excited !!!

[@hotforfood]

HAVE FUN!

[@nancyplants757]

Leeks are good. That is all.

[@hotforfood]

RIGHT!

[@martynamonasterska2861]

Jeaaaa New wideo ❤️ I love your videos

[@RubyChiang]

I feel it’s been years since I last saw a hot for food video! 😂 But it’s only been a week. I missed you guys! 😭

[@hotforfood]

every week man!!!

[@dpmc28]

mouthwatering right now. 😍😍😍

[@bloodmouth.]

AWESOME RECIPE ! I just thought of something: how about we mix some onion rings into the bread crumbs-cheese mixture and the put it on top ?! aaaaah drooling !

[@hotforfood]

YUP! check out the green bean casserole recipe for those

[@bloodmouth.]

yaaas, thank you, my vegan food goddess ! much love from france :)

[@zzzing23]

Lauren just absolutely love your recipes!!! This looks so awesome! Omg I love when you veganize a dairy dish. I'd totally make this. I'd use leeks but this also would be good to use broccoli in it. Put some broccoli and some leeks so it'd be a broccoli leek gratin!!! Amazing! Love you!

[@hotforfood]

yup Brocc would be epic!

[@ericamackay4518]

Yum ! I'm making this right away !!!

[@Vivileinchen003]

this is more like a main dish :O gonna try this for Christmas with a mix of veggies:)

[@dedoubecool]

Yumm 😍 As a french I grew up eating all kinds of gratins and this one looks delish 👌 pobably won't be making it though since I can't get vegan butter or cheese here😂 but I LOVE leeks they're one of my favourite veggies :') #teamleek Also I really like that you give tips for using the green leaves, too many people throw them away !

[@1stStrawberryGirl]

Louellay you could just use oil instead of the butter and make vegan cheese from soya milk or nuts 😉

[@lellyt2372]

Just so you know Violife cheese, vegusto (no moo) and cheezly are available in france as of 2013/2015 (depending on the brand) at selected stockists. I couldn't find specific stores because for some reason it wouldn't let me search that from Ireland. You can also order them online for delivery to France at very reasonable prices and the vegan sites that do it also do vegan butter too. Google "vegan cheese France" and at least 4 online stores that deliver to mainland Europe pop up straight away (English language search anyway) I hope you find some, Violife smoked cheddar is gorgeous ans would really suit this recipe

[@dedoubecool]

Lesley Tate oh yeah it's pretty good I've had it before (in Barcelona I think). I'm sure it's in France too but probably only in the major cities, nowhere close to where I live. And shipping... ugh I've never really been bothered to look into it tbh, I can live without cheese anyways haha

[@yesxiloveyouthemost]

I think you could totally skip the cheese in this recipe and maybe add a little extra salt! Breadcrumbs are great for a topping on their own!

[@lellyt2372]

Louellay I can't so I've done my best to find any way to get cheese 😊 could leave it out to be honest and if you want a smokey flavour, smoked paprika or a similar smoked spice would work in the breadcrumb

[@LindseyObrooke]

Okay I’m in shock there aren’t a million subs yet. Soon. Soon.

[@mindfuleats4517]

looks delicious

[@krynplucker]

Can it be February already ! I preorder the f out of your book and I’m so ready

[@hotforfood]

THANK YOU!!! it'll be here before you know it!

[@naomibeery478]

Im going to make this tomorrow but its my first time cooking leeks and using vegan cheese. I hope it tastes as good as it looked.

[@mirkaslivozduh4670]

You look so cheerful and pleasant always :)

[@Diidu7]

I'm drooling all over the keyboard!

[@alanaliddell2437]

Does anyone else remember the leek from the cloudy with a chance of meatballs movie? “There’s a leek in the boat?!”

[@hotforfood]

bahahaa

[@edwardkominski3629]

Did you say where the cheese came from? Is it from the Italy trip? Congrats on Women To Watch. Lauren is On Fire!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ItsAllOverXx64]

Xander Sharpe i think it might be follow your heart!

[@edwardkominski3629]

[@MsNomzie]

barbara oertli she uses follow your heart the most often

[@Camopartykei]

field roast Chao is good

[@belleemariee]

Follow your heart and chao are delicious and the most available! I'm in Oakland and they're available at most lucky stores

[@barbaraoertli5947]

belleemariee thanks- I’ve tried Daiya and another brand made with almonds, both made us a bit queasy! Will try to find these.

[@barbaraoertli5947]

MsNomzie thanks!

[@adeadcrab]
