What I Eat in a Week: The Buddhist Chef Review | Plant-Based Vegan

[@plantbased_plantamazed]

Hello from a Brazilian living in the Netherlands 👋 I realy like you guys. Very authentic and spontaneous 🥰 I follow a lot of channels but after starting watching your videos, I started trying out new recipes, replacing ingredients and all in all, eating much tastier food ❤ Thank you for the great content you create!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for sharing!! This is EXACTLY why we do what we do. I'm so excited that we've inspired you - thank you for writing to tell us!

[@ELIZA_THE_WILD_THORNBERRY]

I appreciate the fact that you modified the recipes to include less to no oil and sugar!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Always!

[@cathymccann2557]

Yes we want Annie’s secret dressing.

[@donnakeane5754]

Buy, borrow…or BANISH!!! Keep doing all you do! You are changing lives in your own kind and gentle ways. Happy cooking! With gratitude and grace~XO

[@Sheri...]

Ah, Banish! - That's a good one.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Oh wow - thank you!

[@degunver7672]

I was going to say BURY 💀 but banish is good too 😊

[@truepeacenik]

Banish is your answer, @pbwithjeremy

[@s.d8109]

I’m grateful you are providing content that is low oil and sugar. So helpful! Thank you!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Our pleasure! Just also want to make people know it's possible to enjoy comfort food without it being super unhealthy

[@MrJuitjuit]

Yes, I'm curious about Annie's secret sauce too. Let's get 700 requests for her secret sauce recipe 😊

[@pbwithjeremy]

Let's do it! On it's way!

[@MrJuitjuit]

@@pbwithjeremy by the way, watching your channel from Brisbane, Australia. How about adding two more books to your to-review list? 🤣 Both books are by Chef AJ; Unprocessed (Updated version) and The Secrets To Ultimate Weight Loss? Also, please email Chef AJ to tell her that you want to be on her KZbin show to tell your amazing weight loss journey

[@pbwithjeremy]

Actually I’m already talking with AJ about coming on her show :) but good call about doing some of her books

[@rozchristopherson648]

This is how I’m approaching oil these days. I’m 62 and vegan for 7 years. I have perfect bloodwork and take no medications. I started my high raw, high fruit journey 5 months ago. I’ve had several vegetarian years along the way. Now, I basically eat high fruit during weekdays. Any fruit I want--fresh, canned, dried, frozen, juiced. I also include superfoods and plant-based yogurt. On the weekends, I allow myself a treat of plant-based cooked foods such as vegan spaghetti, vegan “steak” salad, veggie burger and fries, or veggie cheesesteak, crockpot vegan soups, etc. If the recipe calls for oil, I’ll use it (only olive oil) albeit sparingly. I tried to do “no oil” but I think that trying to not use oil at all or make substitutes in recipes just makes me waste food because the food doesn’t taste right a lot of the times. I even tried the cashew route of making a bunch of dressings with cashews so that you get the whole food without separating out the oil. Cashew ranch, etc., etc. I forced myself to eat those dressings because of the expense of the cashews. I tried mock tuna with sunflower seeds to avoid oil. I forced myself to eat that also. Much better-jackfruit “tuna” with homemade vegan mayo made with olive oil, tofu, and white vinegar. Now, if I want cashews, pecans, walnuts, etc. I just eat them whole. If I want a mock version of something, I follow the recipe if it requires oil but only have that dish occasionally. No more blending. No more substituting. I think it is ok to use oil for a weekend meal once or twice a month as long as people are not gorging on other foods the rest of the time and gaining weight. Perhaps just eat half of the dish if it calls for oil and eat the other half on another day. If feeding a household, maybe split the recipe and make a kid-friendly version according to the instructions, then make an altered version for the adults who wish to eat a sugar/oil/salt (SOS) free diet. I agree, though, that sautéing in oil is not necessary. I make my comment because I think that kids need to be able to associate “plant-based” with delicious food. If they don’t like it or see it as hit-or-miss, they will eat at fast food restaurants outside the home, eat at friends’ homes that are not plant-based, and completely avoid this diet once they go off to college, etc. Once when I was visiting a friend out of state about 15 years ago, I stopped to get a roast beef sandwich. When my friend asked me what I had eaten while out shopping, I said, a roast beef sandwich (I wasn’t vegan at the time). Her grandson exclaimed, “Aren’t you lucky.” My friend was making all kinds of weird tasting veggie dishes. That’s why the kid said that and that’s why I got a roast beef sandwich while I was out. Now I would not do that. And, unfortunately, my friend’s grandson is in his 20s and is not plant-based. Her husband actually co-wrote a few chapters in Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s book, “Fast Food Genocide.” Around that time, she started “experimenting” with a bunch of her own recipe ideas and now includes fish in her diet; she’s no longer vegan. It is easier to push through recipes that don’t turn out quite right as an older person because I know the consequences of eating the Standard American Diet. I was a caregiver for 17 years to my elderly parents and grandmother who ate animal products at every meal. They didn’t know any better. They all suffered high blood pressure and heart disease (heart failure and strokes). None were overweight but all died from heart disease. Now I am a senior and I don’t want that for myself. So I’ve experimented until I’ve found a way to have tasty plant-based food every day that I enjoy and look forward to eating. But young people are not going to have this kind of motivation and determination. They want tasty food NOW. Avoiding heart disease and high blood pressure is not on their list of priorities. So, I am just saying that for the sake of the young people, we should remember that they are not yet where we are on our plant-based journey. Young people want tasty food. That’s why some young vegans lapse into eating a bunch of tasty vegan junk food just to stay vegan and not kill animals. But we can help young people early in life by trying to make the healthy plant-based choices delicious and encouraging them to learn how to prepare tasty plant-based foods for themselves and teaching them to know how to not overeat.

[@barb939]

I appreciate your swap out for the manicotti noodles. My husband has a gluten allergy, so it's always a plus when I can find videos that include gluten-free options, along with vegan cooking. I love how you are so real and authentic with your no-fuss cooking. At least you make it seem so. It helps us not born "executive chefs" see that the reality of cooking vegan can expand to the average cook. I also love how you include your family and their opinions in the videos. I've been watching other videos, but I think I'm hooked on yours for a few reasons, some of which I already mentioned. Other reasons include I love how you swap out and give options and ideas for optional ingredients, and list the recipe ingredients you're using on the screen so I can write them down. Thank you for the time and fun you put into your videos to make this experience fun for everyone!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you for this AWESOME message - it's greatly appreciated. My wife is gluten-free so pretty much everything we make is GF! So we got you covered! And if it isn't I almost always tell you how to make it work. Thank you for all the lovely comments - glad these videos are so helpful to you!!!

[@barb939]

You guys are amazing! That's wonderful information to hear about the gluten-free content. It's too bad your wife is gluten-sensitive like my husband is. It's a hard diet to find good recipes that don't taste awful, and I've yet to find any bread products, or recipes for him that he can enjoy. I currently pay almost $8 a loaf, and that's a little loaf with barely sandwich-size pieces. My granddaughter who just went off to college has celiac, diagnosed when she was 3. Having watched the sacrifices she's had to make, the torment of eating stuff, that none of us would eat, and watching us eat things that she wanted to eat too, but just couldn't eat, has been quite an awful journey for us all. We're so grateful though, that because more and more people are being diagnosed with gluten allergies these days, there are far more products on the store shelves, and options available at some restaurants, now than ever before. So I thank you for sharing your knowledge, and building a venue for others to explore the world of food through the eyes of one who knows what it means to have food allergies, and conquering them head-on. Veganism is new to me in the last few months. I entered the world due to desperation after spending numerous years in and out of long hospital stays, and a horrible, almost life-ending stay in the ICU. I knew if I didn't do something about my health, I wasn't long for this world and hated the immobility and the long-term effects it caused me. I had to take it into my own hands. I couldn't just keep relying on the countless specialists to figure it all out. And I wanted off all the medications I was on in a bad way too. Well, the amazing stories I could tell after just a few short months on a vegan diet, even my doctors are shaking their heads about. It was something brought to my attention after my son and his wife bought a coffee shop in Woodbury, CT for the sole reason that there weren't any vegan coffee shops around them. At first, I thought they were a bit extreme about their dedication to veganism, but when I started googling to learn more about this fascination of theirs and knew what my alternatives were, I figured I had nothing to lose, and by golly, it worked! Their daughter, my oldest granddaughter is quite an animal activist, and over the past 4 years, she became a vegan and transformed her parents, and brother to veganism as well. Her little sister still isn't on the bandwagon quite yet, and may never be, LOL but she at least helps out at the newly transformed shop, and eats vegan food when it's served. I'm excited to learn more from your channel, and hope that when they come to visit next time, they will not only find a new mom and grandmother, but some delicious vegan food on the table. Sorry this response is so long, but I thought you and your followers might appreciate some good news in the vegan and gluten-free world, in contrast to all the negative comments and misconceptions floating around in our society today. I know, because I was one of those people who thought being a vegan was nothing more than a prolonged fad, and activism to an extreme. To all my new vegan brothers and sisters who are reading this, I am so sorry I ever doubted you. God's Blessings to you, your family, and all your viewers out there! @@pbwithjeremy

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you for sharing this incredible story! And I hope you can use our delicious recipes for your husband - everything I make is easily made GF and DELICIOUS :)

[@Psaltrymom]

I used to LOVE to watch Jill McKeever's family's plant-based meal/cooking/reviews ""KZbin channel"". But, she sadly stopped her cooking channel a few years back. It was a highlight because it was so different from all the other channels - I just loved the family dynamic. BUT, THEN CAME ALONG PBw/J!!! And you were not only plant-based, but OIL FREE -- I've won the lottery! My life is infinitely happier with each episode! Thank you for doing this! I really love your family! (And your recipes!) Much love from NZ. (Where we are going into Spring, and have to watch everyone in the Northern Hemisphere make Fall recipes. Ugh.)

[@pbwithjeremy]

This absolutely made my day - thank you so much for writing us this. What a gift. We're so happy you enjoy our channel. We don't plan on going anywhere so buckle in and enjoy as we figure out this wild ride :) Maybe go back to my spring episodes to help our with your fall meals :)

Definitely going to try the General Tso Tofu recipe. Also would like Annie’s secret sauce recipe too.

[@barbhayes5613]

Please Annie, share your sauce recipe! Aside from that, I really enjoy that you are family=testing these cookbooks. I've seen so many that have crazy ingredients, or so much Salt-Oil-Sugar, so I appreciate you making these more healthy for your family. Cheers!

If I could give a recommendation for the koftas, squeeze out the excess liquid from the grated squash before adding to the recipe. That should take care of the wateriness. I hope that helps.

Ha. She is that - but she always tries - which I appreciate.

[@truepeacenik]

Plant based with Jeremy, yeah? A thought on golden milk: Prior to the British bringing tea from China to India/Pakistan/Bangaladesh, spiced milk drinks were common. Plain tea wasn’t catching on with tea plantation workers, and the overseers were looking for a productivity bump like factories with tea breaks saw. So mixing tea into the spiced milk *did* catch on, and became masala chai (spice blend tea). Golden milk is a version of the drink that stretched back to Vedic times.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Yup!

[@cusebaby10]

I love that Annie is giving better reviews, go Annie! 👍🏻 A pumpkin version of the golden milk sounds amazing,: especially since we're coming into Fall here in the North. 💛 I love the lasagna/manicotti trick! Lastly, I hope that this gets 700 comments; bc I'm so curious as to what Annie's secret sauce "dressing " is?! 😁

I love that you're taking any PB cook book and making it fit the WFPB diet - Thank you! Desserts are definitely the hardest to get right - I like using canned pumpkin puree instead of oil. And a tip for ginger, freeze it then grate it with the skin still on (a tip from the pick up limes channel)

[@vi3472]

I liked all the recipes, even the mini quiches, LOL. I think ketchup is a good idea. The lemon meringue pie looks so good. I can't believe the aquafaba whipped cream!! However, I don't generally eat coconut milk because of the saturated fat content. My daughter made the most delicious pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. It was mousse-like in texture and the flavor was so good. I asked for the recipe and little did I know, it was made with coconut milk! No wonder it was so delicious! Thanks for this video!

You deserve all the growth to the channel. The content is different and very good! And of course I'd like to know what the secret sauce is. I'm looking forward to the next book review!

Thanks so much for all of this! It's funny, both kids go through phases and days where they feel more articulate than others. School's starting too, so they're sometimes more tired come dinner time. They're always been good about trying new things, and we've always been fine with them not liking the meals as well.

We've done a few videos of family favorites - here's one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4DMf6yqerxll7s But we're due to do another soon - I think we're going to do a holiday themed one for this upcoming season :)

[@brookreedlake4435]

@pbwithjeremy Thank You. I've only begun watching your channel & absolutely love it. Was wondering if you were utilizing the library, as to not potentially lose money on books you may end up not enjoying as much. I'll check out the link you shared. Can't wait for your upcoming content. 😋👍

[@pbwithjeremy]

The library is essential - cookbooks are expensive!! Glad you're enjoying!

[@douglasrobert796]

Love these videos Jeremy - so much to enjoy on your channel and website. I’m making the most of it whenever I can. There are several vegan chefs I follow who make delicious sounding meals, but they use oil, salt and refined sugar. Thank you for proving it just isn’t necessary. And here’s another vote for Annie to spill the beans on that dressing.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you for this! It's how we cook in our house so we're happy to share it and it makes us happy to know people like you appreciate it!

[@susanlauer1098]

The Chickpea Curry in this book is awesome! I make it often and it is so easy!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Good to know!

[@Sheri...]

So, you have this book - which other recipes from it would you recommend? Thanks!

[@susanlauer1098]

I just realized that his Chickpea Curry recipe is on his website, not in the book. I've tried the eggplant parm and portobello bourguignon from the book and they may also be on his website. @@Sheri...

[@Sheri...]

Thanks for telling me about the website! I will check it out!

[@tanyalalonde733]

I borrowed this cookbook from the library... I'll be honest I wasn't a fan of most of the recipes but that lemon tart I still make. Annie Please Please share your secret dressing...pretty please?

[@kathystoner5239]

Another great video! I love how you modify the recipes! I would love the secret salad dressing!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you! Will keep on keepin' on!

Buy, Borrow, or Bounce? That is a little kinder than "Bury". LOL. Yay! I am delighted to have a new PBwithJ video to watch, and Saturday is the perfect day for it to come out. You all have become my secret plant-based family. Do you mind? (Only one extended family member appreciates my food. 😕) Your videos are funny, friendly, and I always learn something. I really appreciate your more healthful versions of recipes. I do have this cookbook (one of those Amazon $1.99 Kindle book specials). The General Tso's Tofu looks really good. I really want to try the lemon meringue tart. I think I will add some extra grated lemon rind to zing it up. I also prefer the agar agar powder to the flakes. (I tried to grind agar flakes in my spice grinder, and it just didn't work.) I add a tiny bit (1/4 tsp) of agar powder to cornstarch pudding to give it extra firmness. Any more and it is gelatin-like. 😄Annie, please share your secret sauce recipe. I promise I won't tell.😄 Wooly's (sp?) apple crumble sounds just perfect. Fall is so close. Thanks J and family. 🙂Janet in St. Louis.

[@pbwithjeremy]

We don't mind at all! You can adopt us! All your tweaks sound great - I hope you enjoy them! Will try to get those recipes included in new videos sooner rather than later :)

[@veecamp3373]

Thankyou for what you are doing by reviewing these cookbook.s. Yes would like Annie's recipe. Also, I think the word Bannish would be great in your tri. Not my idea but reading the comments.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you for all this! Glad you're enjoying!

[@lindsaytoussaint]

Kofta is middle eastern, no? Love that you adapt the recipes for fewer calories! I’m an noob, been loving the channel so far

[@pbwithjeremy]

Awesome! Thank you! And yes - I think you're correct!

[@madyvalenz69]

The description of the PB with J is : funny Vegan dad sweating his ass trying not to die teaching his family to eat health plant based food ❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉

[@pbwithjeremy]

hahaha - thanks!

[@pda2836]

Love your no oil, low sugar, low sodium approach to these recipes!!. For the lava cake, since you used a blender, i am wondering if avocado would work as a fat replacement. I have heard people use it when you need a fat "mouth feel" that applesauce, banana and pumpkin just can't give you. I have never tried it. Looking forward to your Q&As this fall!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Ohhhhh - that's a great idea. Doing a Q&A this Wed afternoon - hope you can join!

[@deborahphillips3859]

I want her secret dressing!!! Hi everyone we love your videos

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you!! Annie finally showed her dressing in a video where I had to eat like her for a day.

[@sheliaclayton-j2s]

Another great video but need to know Annie's secret salad dressing. Two more cookbooks for you to review when you get a change The First Mess and My New Roots.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for the tips! Added both to the list!

[@ashleyburks4639]

Hi, Hello. I know comments help with the algorithms SO, HELLLOOO!!!😊😊😊 Shreveport, Louisiana, USA here.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you Ashley!!!!

[@bigmam7782]

Love your channel. I do the same thing. I also modify recipes with so much oil and sugar too. I love apple sauce swap

[@pbwithjeremy]

It's the best!

[@peterbrown9036]

I bought the book a few years ago and it’s gathering dust, I think I only made the Portobello Bourguignon, which was awesome! I think that I’ll revisit some of the recipes in it and will attempt to make some oil free as well. The Manicotti recipe is a definite 😊

[@pbwithjeremy]

If you already own it - it's worth a revisit fo sure!

[@inksslinks319]

I also mcGyver recipes to avoid oil and excess sugar. I’m thinking for the oil maybe combine some nut butter and applesauce or some nut butter and the aquafaba from the chickpea. For sweetener I might try 1/3 cup date sugar. And also bump up the vanilla. I definitely want to try this one. Thank you! For your next cookbook adventure, how about Plantbased cooking made easy by Jill Dalton. TPL has both electronic and print copies available to borrow right now. Dessert Recipes aren’t exactly low fat though. Annie might like her buckwheat bread.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you for this! Glad to hear you have the same approach! Jill's book is on my list, but it'll be awhile before we get to it - the list is getting loooooong!

[@inksslinks319]

@@pbwithjeremyJust read the recipe now lol. The coconut oil seems help with chocolate mixture do definitely a nut butter rather than applesauce. Or all aquafaba if watching fat. No worries about Jill Dalton book. Can you share what’s on the list? Do we get to vote?

[@pbwithjeremy]

It's a loooooong list - and I get to them as they're available at the library. I've scheduled the reviews until the end of this year already, but when I get ready for the new year maybe I'll put up a list. Thanks for the idea!

[@brendabathurst6921]

Another great video, would love Annie’s sauce👍😊

[@pbwithjeremy]

It's so good!

[@GriefCoachCindy]

Annie, your secret sauce recipe please! And the General Tso sauce is on my experiment list

[@sarahpauline4904]

I'm Minnesotan so I understand how close your "neighbor with his gosh darn saw" was to real danger.

[@riaedmond11]

Thank you for informing us 😊

[@pbwithjeremy]

My pleasure 😊
