vegan leek gratin | hot for food

[@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?

[@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!

[@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??

[@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

[@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!

[@magda_pie]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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! 😋

[@anonymouse692]

thank u Lauren! will use this recipe. off to watch the grilled cheese thing!

[@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!

[@mandyemais]

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

[@hotforfood]

OH YES!

[@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.

[@naomibeery478]

That potato sauce is so delicious, I am going to put it on everything!

[@arcoeagle]

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

[@hotforfood]

:D

[@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!

[@Shadey485]

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

[@jenniewasgehtsiedasan4566]

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

[@hotforfood]

[@mbrower08]

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

[@nataliag.5523]

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

[@moonshine4049]

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

[@hotforfood]

THANK YOU!

[@Layra151]

I made it for dinner tonight, it came out delicious! So happy I have a new way of cookin leeks ;)

[@hotforfood]

YAAAY!

[@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!

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

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

[@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

[@hillaryhonde8425]

Can you make vegan paneer butter masala next?? ❤️

[@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!!💖🎄

[@TetelestaiontheCross]

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

[@hotforfood]

that's right!

[@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?

[@littlelizzy9795]

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

[@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!

[@Pwig81]

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

[@bexd]

I tried this yesterday...it was amazing thank you!

[@mickeyonieke2861]

[@meemoo9693]

[@tiinah5602]

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

[@laurenbyrd7155]

Made this for dinner tonight!

[@martharuvalcaba9685]

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

[@martharuvalcaba9685]

Also! You look amazing!

[@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! :)

[@booshnuggz]

Freakin delicious!!!!! My 9 year old looks forward to every Wednesday for new videos!!!

[@hotforfood]

awwwww HIIIEEE!

[@sophianunya3503]

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

[@GummyBearRecords]

Looks so good

[@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 :)

[@jenniferwilliams4371]

[@hotforfood]

[@aplantbasednerd8319]

This looks so yummy!

[@AmbroseReed]

This looks stunning 👌

[@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.

[@mindfuleats4517]

looks delicious

[@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!

[@mirkaslivozduh4670]

You look so cheerful and pleasant always :)

[@barbaraoertli5947]

What brand of vegan cheese do you use? I’ve not been happy with any I find here (rural northern California), anything available online? Thanks, love your videos!

[@MsNomzie]

barbara oertli she uses follow your heart the most often

[@Loveisneverending]

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!

[@m.malfoy5212]

[@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!!!

[@sydneysmith1017]

Just ordered my vitamix. I have been dreaming of this recipe for weeks. First thing I'm gonna make is this, and those GLOURIOUS cashew mac and cheese recipes I see.

[@hotforfood]

its life changing...

[@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!

[@whitneydouglas4794]

I am so making this tonight!

[@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

[@aznatmoj]

Where did you get the smoky Gouda cheese? :) loveee you Lauren keep it up

[@hotforfood]

Good Rebel in Toronto

[@madeleineee]

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

[@Vivileinchen003]

[@dpmc28]

mouthwatering right now. 😍😍😍

[@marykacyy6802]

4:06 6:30 IS THAT "FOLLOW YOUR HEART" CHEESE???

[@hotforfood]

[@Dozzzzy]

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

[@bridgettebakes]

[@hotforfood]

yassssss

[@jelenapoturic2602]

looks yummy!!

[@martynamonasterska2861]

Jeaaaa New wideo ❤️ I love your videos

[@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

[@mgizzleness]

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

[@Veganhoosier]

When will the bonus ebook come out for those who preordered the Cookbook?

[@hotforfood]

It will go out in an email on or around Dec 11. Be sure to fill out this www.hotforfoodblog.com/ebook

[@Veganhoosier]

Thank you! I already filled out the form and can't wait to get the ebook next month and the cookbook in February! 😄

[@hotforfood]

GREAT!! thank you :D

[@leylapicou4500]

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

[@PteradactylKat]

[@user-my5yi1ds7x]

kruimige of vastkokende aardappelen?

[@hotmessblonde]

What brand of cheese did you use? Looks delicious!

[@hotforfood]

earth island/follow your heart

[@catsieja5862]

Yummmmmm!!

[@Kimdb998]

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

[@adeadcrab]

i have to do this

[@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

[@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]

Thanks Karina. I will look for that at Whole Foods. It looks great!

[@MsNomzie]

Im gonna bet its follow your heart, she loves that gouda

[@hotforfood]

its earth island/follow your heart smoked gouda

[@edwardkominski3629]

Thanks Lauren

[@jennysanders113]

New subscriber! What brand of Gouda do you use?

[@hotforfood]

its earth island/follow your heart

[@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!

[@nancyplants757]

Leeks are good. That is all.

[@hotforfood]

RIGHT!

[@JenniHealth]

I would’ve loved to have made this, but Thanksgiving is tomorrow . Pretty sure everyone has a plan of what they’re making already.

[@LindseyObrooke]

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

[@sarahjane8467]

do y'all think the field roast chao cheese would be a good replacement?

[@angelahill7040]

Thank you, I needed a extra side dish, and I grabbed a fee leeks at the store the other day.

[@EllenThewessen]

I would love to see more video's with John!

[@petalk95]

Ellen Thewessen they separated.

[@EllenThewessen]

Oh so sorry! Didn't know..

[@GrowGlow]

Wait, Lauren, but then what do I do with the tops of the leeks??
