What An Italian Vegan, Chinese Vegan & Greek Vegan Eat In A Day

[@yunzhenwu7736]

Veganism isn’t about restriction, it is about reinventing wholesome ingredients into both traditional/nostalgic and innovative dishes :)

[@weebpotato2366]

Exactly. That’s what I tell my dad. My mom and me sometimes cook together to veganize traditional dishes.

[@phillippinter7518]

I would say it's not about that at all its about helping animals and the environment

[@weebpotato2366]

@@phillippinter7518 that too but showing this relatives can help them try out more vegan dishes.

[@phillippinter7518]

@@weebpotato2366 still I would say "wholesome" refers to the dietary aspect of a plant based diet while "veganism" isn't about diet at all. It's an ethical stance

This is nice. You should definitely get someone from West Africa to do this series too. I would like to see a vegan version of my favorite Ghanaian dishes I grew up with.

[@miezimauzi6545]

thecanadianafrican does that :)

[@rocklesson86]

@@miezimauzi6545 I will check it out

[@gianaritchie3416]

An entire African version would be so interesting !!

[@debrajessen7975]

You could offer to do it 😃

[@rosheenfo9811]

most Ghanaian dishes are pretty easy to adapt. I've lived here for the past 8 years and we eat mainly local dishes just adapted. Palava we just do without the fish as you have the protein in the agushi, waakye too is delicious as is with stew, gari and salad (or kontomire) as the beans have the protein but you can always add some tofu in the side (easy to get in Accra or the north but harder elsewhere)...we do the soup for okro and banku with mushrooms, palm nut soup with aubergine, mushrooms and any other veg, same with groundnut soup, jollof with veg stock instead of chicken and sometimes add the red beans inside.... mmm I'm hungry now

[@nancy_v303]

I am so happy to see a Greek person in this video! Greek cuisine is actually pretty vegan -friendly. There are a lot of Greek recipes which are vegan in their original form. Regarding spanakopita, I'd like to assure you that there is no need for anything egg-like if you don't want to add it. The ricotta cheese is also not something we traditionally add to it, as it's Italian. We almost always stick to feta cheese. Another tip is to use fresh spinach if you can find it. It makes a huge difference. Lastly, there is no need to precook the leeks, even though precooking them makes them even sweeter, and adding green onions and a bit of regular onions (red, yellow, it doesn't actually matter to us) makes the pie even more delicious.

[@Muslimah1987]

Great tips, thank you!

[@wintermagebarthow8481]

As a Vegan for decades, I am happy to see wider acceptance of Veganism. It's gone from having nothing to eat when dining out except for tired lettuce and sliced onion masquerading as an entre , to soo many delicious options. Plus its nice to tell someone you're a Vegan and not have them look at you like a communist in 1950.

[@angelitaalicia30]

This!

[@ricardorojas3872]

It feels good reading your story. I'm vegetarian for 2 years and I absolutely enjoyed every single day my veggies as much as I could. I wish I could do it earlier but I agreed with you. It's not anything as restricting but, instead inclusive. We can find and discover new ways to make to food enjoyable and feel good. 👍☺️

[@nmg6248]

My daughter went vegan as a high school student a decade ago. And even then there wasn’t much choice. I admire her so much for that, especially as such a young person! She finally talked me into it four years ago and I am so happy about it and wish I had done it sooner 💕🙌🏾

[@ricardorojas3872]

@Sushimaster My diet is lacto-ovo vegetarian so I mostly consume vegetables, legumes, tubers, eggs and dairy products. Most of my family are meat eaters even though they occasionally eat meat too. There are definitely more types of vegeteterianism out there which I don't know much about. But it's good to know you prefer consuming plant-based meals over meat. Greetings from Venezuela 🇻🇪☺️

[@ricardorojas3872]

@Sushimaster I also don't mind to make food for my family even if it includes meat but never try them, just cook them and they seem to like it.

[@Ilikefrogs..]

I love this series so much! It would be lovely to see more Indigenous, African and Caribbean recipes though.

[@MagnumCarta]

The bean curd with tomatoes on toast sounds really good! Also it made me think about a way of veganizing shakshuka (a tomato and egg breakfast dish).

[@nmg6248]

I put soft tofu on shakshuka and stew it just like you would an egg. It’s very good! There are many Korean stews that do this with soft tofu and that’s what gave me the idea. I’ve never used black salt but I wonder if sprinkling a little on the tofu would be good too?

[@MagnumCarta]

@@nmg6248 That's a good idea with using black salt. Also another route that might be interesting is using peeled brussel sprouts since the sulphur in the brussel sprouts can give it a light, eggy taste.

[@junipurrstudio1052]

YES!!! I can testify that vegan shashuka is delicious and amazing! As NM G said, use tofu. If you like when the eggs in shashuka are super tender, I recommend silken tofu. Since tofu is already edible (no need to cook), let it come up to room temp as you are preparing the rest of the dish, then gently set it on top of the bubbling tomato, onion, etc. when ready to serve :)

[@Vanessa-fs7oz]

My yiayia still doesn't understand how I could be vegan. I tried not to break her little Greek heart when she realized I would never eat her spanakopita again. It is the one food I miss most. I am planning on making my own vegan version as soon as I work up the nerve. 🐑💗🌱

[@bumbley.umbley]

Maybe after you feel confident with making vegan spanakopita you could invite her to make it with you! Using a veganized version of her recipe.

[@MartinJones123]

Why be vegan then? Yiayia's cooking is the best and you're missing out!

[@Vanessa-fs7oz]

@@MartinJones123 Her food is so so great, but I'm not missing out. The value comes from sharing the memories and moments, and those memories will always be there. I can easily have the same tastes and textures without animal products. But for those wondering, my yiayia is very elderly and over the last year or so has gotten to a point where she doesn't do much cooking anymore. Regardless of whether I was vegan or not, the last moments of enjoying my yiayia's spanakopita remains in the past and in my memory 💖

[@MartinJones123]

​@@Vanessa-fs7oz I've tried vegan food a few times and have found that the tastes and textures are not the same, especially when it comes to substituting meat products... Each to their own I guess...

[@LaneBeScrolling]

This is a great video idea. Nice to see a change from the America-centric dishes. Also loved “I’ve never had anything in my life and thought ‘wow, they didn’t skim the foam off of this’,” solid point.

[@khalilahd.]

As a pescatarian trying to go vegan I absolutely love this! You’re taking classic dishes and making them healthy and delicious 😋 what else could we ask for?

[@mooshboint]

Make the jump, you learn quickly once you start!! ❤

[@MagnumCarta]

There's some really good recipes out there for making veganized versions of seafood! If you like tuna you should check out "watermelon tuna" recipes! I haven't tried it myself yet (personally I was never a big fan of fish growing up) but I've heard lots of good reviews!

[@TheParadigmShiftTV]

Watch 'Seaspiracy'.

[@mariemaier5630]

So awesome that you want to make the switch. Highly recommend the documentary Seaspiracy fur she extra inspiration. Also watch the talk by Gina Messina a vegan of over twenty years and registered dietitian. Seven habits of healthy Vegans

[@danielabubuioc2974]

Sorry, what Is pescatarian? In Italy "pesca" mean Peach ...you eat Only fruits?

[@SenoritaConejita]

I haven't even finished the video yet but the bean curd as egg...wow that blew my mind. I was looking for a similar texture and I never even thought of it! For my use case, I wanted to replicate a dish my dad would make me growing up, huevos al albañil (eggs, construction worker style lol): - Sauté diced onions, garlic and a can of diced tomatoes - Once onions are translucent, add vegan chicken stock (or veggie). Ideally, this will be like a thickened soup so add as much stock/water as you want - Now with the bean curd! You can cook it in oil, adding black salt and pepper (turmeric like Tiffany if you want) - Once both the tomato broth and bean curds are done, serve the broth in a bowl and top with bean curd. - Add a dollop of vegan sour cream or vegan white cheese (let it melt a bit) and enjoy with some warm tortillas! Such a comfort food and I can't wait to try the bean curd! I love this series, learning a lot of new recipes :)

[@Lala47362]

Ooooh I love how she combined tofu and mushrooms! We often eat mushrooms for the great meaty texture but they don’t have a good protein content like meat does. Combining them you get best of both worlds

[@alainadacosta1222]

The Chinese recipes look especially good & the spanakopita. I have all of the ingredients for the the orange tofu & mushrooms so I'll definitely try that

[@ativ55]

It rarely happens, but 👏🏻 everyone understood the assignment 👏🏻

[@valeriasepe8797]

Sounds good! But as an Italian the way in which pasta alla Norma is cooked is disappointing and it ruins it. Is a naturally vegan dish (if you take away the cheese ok top) therefore why modify the original recipe 😉

[@lilyrose1295]

As an Italian I thought the exact same thing

[@martinafrancese9379]

yeees like gurl...fry those eggplants

[@idek7438]

A lot of Italian recipes are naturally vegan or easily "veganizable" if you think about it. Historically, people couldn't afford a lot of animal products, so many traditional dishes make minimal use of them

Eggplant, tomatoes, basil, and ricotta salata -(NOT OREGANO and NO GARLIC) these four ingredients are the fundamentals of pasta alla norma, a dish that originated in Catania, a city on Sicily's west coast. “Too much garlic! Garlic everywhere,” Garlic, you see, is not quite the staple of Italian cuisine Americans think it is. Depending on who you speak to, onions are a controversial ingredient too - and don’t even think of ever combining the two in a single dish.
