WHAT I EAT IN A WEEK/ homegrown & seasonal, winter edition

[@Lillystromhollow]

Please make more, I've learned so much about growing food from you!

[@tamaraosullivan4764]

Same!

[@alisonburgess345]

That's the kind of food your body wants! Superb demo of how to eat. Any dietitian would be rapt to see this. Delicious!

[@SistersB1]

Dank voor je geweldige video, heerlijke eenvoudige gerechten uit eigen tuin.

[@ancaberbece4899]

also, do not appologize for anything, the best part of this video was that is a video in real life, real meals, no staging, simple flavoury dishes :) thanks for sharing a part of your life with us!

[@GrownToCook]

Thank you for your lovely words and encouragement! I'd like to do more of those videos in different seasons.

[@pops7711]

Vera this is such a helpful video. It Gives me so much inspiration for garden veg use and seasonal cooking. I would love to see more of these videos if you enjoy making them! thank you :)

[@susansorriero4863]

Everything looks so delicious! I want to try your recipes!

[@GrownToCook]

I hope you get to try them, thank you! We just had the buckwheat pancakes again this week, but all the recipes are favorites :)

[@jofape1]

Thank you for so many ideas for meals from my garden. I have seeds germinating and growing under grow lights. It's an exciting time of year for all of us gardeners. Wishing you a great garden and harvest in 2022.

[@DfromDANDE]

I absolutely love your videos Vera, this may be my favourite yet. Honestly I could watch you speak and describe your garden & cooking for hours. So real, so genuine. Thanks for what you do!

[@GrownToCook]

Thanks so much, David! It was fun to try something new, I'm glad you liked it!

[@idzneha]

I loved the variety of recipes , ingredients and different cuisines that you serve your family in a week. You guys have such an amazing and healthy lifestyle. 👍 I really liked this series. Hope to see many such videos from you. ❤

[@omasadventures8236]

(you can laugh, it's ok) I'm from Texas in the U.S. We LOVE our steak. No I am not a vegetarian! After watching this video, I think that after a week spent eating your meals that I could easily be tempted to go more heavy on the vegetable side. I also learned a lot about cooking. Thank You for showing us how we can better use our garden harvests.

[@Marie1751fb]

I'm so happy I found your channel! Currently I can't afford to have a garden to grow my own goods, but I've switched to only local and seasonal foods this September and this kind of video really helps! Recipes can become bland, repetitive and boring real fast. So..Thank you, keep up the good work!

[@GrownToCook]

I'm so happy the recipes were helpful for you! I have a several ' week of eating from the garden' blog posts on my website, in different seasons, if you'd like to see more:www.growntocook.com/?p=6727

[@tittajones1]

This is perfect meal idea video, brief and inspiring, and uncomplicated, will definitely use these ideas for vegetarian meals. Thank you 😊👩‍🌾

[@GrownToCook]

I'm so happy it was inspiring for you, Titta! I tried to make the recipes as approachable as possible

[@ancaberbece4899]

this is great! please do this more often, I really enjoyed this episode

[@DM-vt4hx]

Love to see more cook- videos! Nice combo with the garden/permaculture- videos. Thanks for all your effort/work!!

[@GrownToCook]

Thank you! I hope to do more videos like this next year, sort of 'garden to table' :)

[@DM-vt4hx]

@@GrownToCook Nice, I'm looking forward to it!

[@jenniferdoyle2208]

It was so nice to see how you use your garden bounty!

[@GrownToCook]

I'm glad you liked the video, Jennifer! I'd like to fit more like this next year :)

[@berti642]

Thanks for those ideas. I’m now starting my third year of growing almost everything we eat. Only possible because I heard about no digging growing. Whilst we still eat meat it’s reduced significantly by accident. Those recipes are so easy to follow. I’ll make sure that this year I have enough variety to last through the winter and I’ll be cooking all your recipes in the next week or so. Just found your channel today 😊

[@GrownToCook]

So nice to hear you like the recipes! I tried to keep things simple and real - I like to make an elaborate meal on occasion but for every day cooking I stick to simple. But even the simplest meals are delicious when you cook with home-grown produce :)

[@enidgullo955]

What a wonderful video! More when you can, with your demanding schedule. Thankyou thankyou thankyou

[@GrownToCook]

Thank you so much!!

[@janwilletts1986]

How lovely to see how you use your produce in the kitchen, thank you for sharing.

[@karobachner]

Love this! I'm a vegan and have always loved cooking and baking, but I have to say that 2020 has taken a toll on me and that lately I've been lacking inspiration/motivation in the kitchen. I love how you get creative and use what you have on hand, which definitely sparked some inspiration in me. And the best thing is that I can easily make all your dishes vegan without even trying too hard! :) Thank you!

[@GrownToCook]

Than you, Karoline, I'm so glad the video was inspiring for you and that it is easy for you to adapt to your vegan diet! Merry Christmas !

[@skyemcquire1456]

Thank you for your inspiration ❤️

[@cityhomestead4490]

dankjewel Vera voor de vid. Leuk om te zien wat je doet met je groente uit de tuin.

[@fazimoonsamad258]

You don't have to apologize for anything.

[@sharonbrouwer9740]

Leuke video Vera! Fijn om weer wat van je te zien. En goede inspiratie voor mij om groentes te gaan kweken die ik zelf niet zo vaak eet!!

[@lizzie9173]

Hi from Australia - thanks for sharing your helpful ideas

[@GrownToCook]

Hi Lizzie! You're probably harvesting very different veg at the moment :)

[@rik80280]

Beautiful video, very well done, and I thought the lighting was fine. Definitely you should do more like this. I find with a lot of casual gardeners I know, they are not in the mindset of just eating what is in the garden, and things just go to waste. We're vegetarians too, so I appreciated all the meal ideas as well.

[@GrownToCook]

Thank you! I really enjoyed filming this, even though the editing was a lot of work :) I’ll try to do another one with spring produce!

[@dgymdgym3571]

formidable, merci!

[@raymondkyruana118]

Wow almost all of these recipes were completely new to me! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@annevandennieuwenhuijzen4804]

Hoi Vera, lovely video. I like to plant what I eat but this gives me so much inspiration to eat what grows. Thanks. Loved it.

[@diddles23]

Love all your videos Vera, and no need to apologise for the lighting, it felt lovely and cosy to watch. I hope you will do more recipe videos as these were brilliant. Merry Christmas from England!

[@GrownToCook]

Thank you, hope you had a lovely holiday despite the lockdown!

[@debrabeghtol4332]

Your book is BEAUTIFUL ❤️. The photography, even the paper it's printed on. And, of course, the information is priceless. I look forward to curling up in front of the fireplace with it this winter. So far I've only flipped thru.....😊

[@debrabeghtol4332]

Ps. I will pray that people start viewing, commenting and thumbs upping your videos so that the "machine" starts generating some income for you. If I understand correctly, that's how it works? If so, that needs to happen. You give so much. Time for the world to give back. IMHO.

[@GrownToCook]

@@debrabeghtol4332 That's so very kind of you, thank you!!!!

[@pamelacorsi]

Love this video! I make a maple glazed acorn squash stuffed with arugula and pecans.

[@GrownToCook]

That sounds lovely!

[@polly5766]

Thanks Vera... Lovely recipes. I will be trying them all out. Season's Greetings from ireland🍀

[@GrownToCook]

I hope you'll like the meals as much as we do :)

[@dakshitatakodra9922]

Really Interesting and useful!! Great tips esp about order in which to use up food greens first etc. and love how everything gets used up efficiently

[@GrownToCook]

Thank you! I always think about how to use any bits and pieces - comes from my mother who is a very frugal cook :)

[@perryleopold7555]

Wow! This is a wonderful video. Excellent food, this is how we eat as vegetarians in Midwest USA. Thank you for taking your channel in this direction.

[@GrownToCook]

Thank you so much! It was a lot of work to film but I really enjoyed creating a different kind of video :)

[@maryoshea933]

Lovely video. Please keep making them. Happy Christmas.

Lovely! It’s very different meals for a Central American person but looks delicious. Thanks for sharing. Love from Costa Rica!

Wow, so many amazing recipes, a whole week's worth in the time other chefs might spend on a single meal! I love the quick presentation, retaining enough detail for duplication without getting bogged down. Everything looked delicious and quite healthy!

[@GrownToCook]

Thank you!! I'm happy you like the recipes!

[@stacyk.3402]

Yum I wish I could eat dairy😉. Love this kind of video too. Showing how you use what you grow is inspiring

Thank you and same to you!!

[@PauseCreative]

Merci beaucoup pour toutes ces bonnes recettes et Joyeuses fêtes✨ 🤗

[@artsyhonkerful]

This was a lovely video to see! And harvesting the tougher, root plants first, but using them last, makes a lot of sense and I think the concept will help me with using the produce from my own garden and allotment.

[@stevenabel1232]

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

[@katrinar9310]

Great vegetarian recipes! Thanks for posting. BLESSINGS-Kate

[@omfug7148]

For Americans wondering what speculoos is---> These simple cookies are practically Belgium's national cookie, and one bite tells you why: they're thin, crunchy and simply packed with the warm flavors of dark brown sugar and a precise mixture of nine spices including cinnamon, cloves, pepper and cardamom."

[@GrownToCook]

Thanks for adding this, I should have clarified in the video! I actually have a recipe for making your own speculoos spice mix on my blog :)

[@aldas3831]

Brilliant recipes Vera! Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and your family!

[@plantsdocumentary]

Good information 👍👍

[@snowbel09able]

Loved this!! It's so good to see how to cook what you grow. I have your last book Edible Paradise and love it. So thank you so much for the inspiration and now I can't wait to grow winter squash too. Merry Christmas from California.

[@GrownToCook]

HI Jerris, so lovely to hear you love my book! I'm happy it's inspiring for you even though your climate is probably much warmer?

[@ankecielen1472]

Dank je wel, ik heb veel inspiratie opgedaan!

[@momonwallstreet]

Great video with lots of inspiration. Definitely will check out your recipes, as I am always up for new recipes. Had to chuckle a bit when you mentioned growing in a cool climate in December. I grew up in Belgium and now live and garden in Upstate NY. Yesterday, I was harvesting kale, carrots and bok choy from under the snow in -15C ;-)

[@GrownToCook]

Haha, 'cold' is definitely relative :)

[@debbiestip]

Wonderful video Vera! Short enough, but very clear and with just about enough explanation. Loved the in between shots of you harvesting the ingredients from the garden as well. Dit jaar gaan ik en mijn medemoestuinierster weer iets uitbreiden en zullen we zo rond de 190m2 tuin huren. Deels schaduw, maar ook dat gaat voor een deel van de groente prima. Ik probeer en doe al steeds meer vanuit de oogst qua koken, maar altijd op zoek naar inspiratie. We gaan ook dit jaar proberen meer te bewaren dmv inmaak en wecken, neig ook naar voedsel dorgen. We willen meer vegetarisch eten, maar weten soms niet waar te beginnen, om het wel allemaal goed in balans te houden en niet met tekorten te komen te zitten. Heb jij tips waar ik daar genoeg informatie over kan vinden? Groetjes, Debbie

[@royharris1]

What a fantastic video! It's really good to see how you use the produce you grow. I've just returned to gardening after almost 25 years and am aiming to produce as much as possible to eat this coming year. Your video has inspired me to try more meatless meals as your menus looked delicious. I do hope you will produce more of this type of video to compliment those you make on growing. Seasons greetings from Wales

[@r.d.tjandra1467]

Thank you for the video. The food looks delicious. We enjoyed Christmas with all the food from our garden. We had sweet potatoes, carrots, beans, beetroot,onions, aubergine, capsicum and pork with a mulberry sauce. It makes the day very special to know it is very real and this is what you show in your videos. Hope there is a cookbook on the way. Thank you very much.

Very nice video with lots of delicious looking recipes. I look forward to trying some of these and enjoying them during this winter. Thanks for all your filming and Happy Christmas!

I loved this video. I’m growing lots more (thanks to your book and videos) and it’s so helpful to relate a harvest to a week’s meals The blue pan looks perfect for so many of these meals. What size is it please?

[@GrownToCook]

So nice to hear you like the recipes! I love my Le Creuset pan, it was expensive but I use it almost daily and it should last forever. The diameter is 30 cm.

[@iamchinny3]

This was excellent. What are those little black specks in the porridge?

[@GrownToCook]

Thanks! I add a little chia seed (about 1 tbsp) to my porridge. I find it improves the consistency as well as adding a bit of nutrients. I'd like to do a video dedicated to porridge and different ways to spruce it up with garden produce, but it will probably be in fall :)
