What do you think about this video style? Do you wanna see more videos like this?🥰🙌

[@maui_wowie_]

I would like less of the fast forward dialog and actually listen to it in normal. Ansonsten, wie immer: Bist ne coole Socke und deine Rezepte rocken!

[@gillustrative]

Yes! Love the goofy memes too

[@heidiwiedemann]

I would beg of you stop with the handheld jerky video .. many of us can't tolerate it (I personally get migraines and motion sickness). But I love your recipes so I want to watch. Your food - which is what matters - looks beautiful always.

[@Tmitkluntje]

I like the style of the video, well done. My only remark: For my personal taste, you are overdoing it with the sped up high pitched voice. Use that once or twice in a video and in the other cases, either cut out the segments or leave them in as they are. It is funny once or twice, after that (at least for me) it becomes a bit annoying.

[@RosaliRosa]

sehr gerne! es war sehr angenehm die rezepte ein bisschen langsamer als sonst zu sehen :) und jetzt hab ich hunger, die nudeln sahen so lecker aus! tolle inspiration :) freue mich auf dein restaurant

[@carmelitajones7779]

Opening a restaurant is possible and I can tell it's on your things to do list. You have people around you, like your family and viewers that would pitch in to help you. You are a talented cook. Go for it.

[@FitGreenMind]

😇🫶

[@kimw4517]

So true!

[@urselmann_interior]

@@FitGreenMind We are big fans of your shorts in our vegan office kitchen where we cook everyday for the whole team. Wenn du dein Restaurant aufmachst let us know, wir unterstützen dich bei der Einrichtung - und klar die ist wie deine Rezepte planetary boundaries approved. :)

[@WOWTODAZ]

I think making videos on youtube is more relaxed but opening a restaurant is really cool

[@poikilos]

I love how all of your recipes are just casually vegan/vegatarian without you really advertising them as such. I was raised vegetarian so i love seeing recipes that i can enjoy :) Thank you for all the recipes and wonderful videos, keep up the good work!

[@ninak5645]

I would absolutely go to your restaurant Not only can you cook but you also care about creatures that cant talk for th3mselves, you're a good person

[@amberlewis3815]

I love thinking about this. One night I couldn't sleep last year and I spent like two hours creating my vegan restaurant menu! :D Every so often I go back to it and edit/refine my restaurant's vibe. I am never going to be a talented enough cook to ever have my own restaurant but it makes me happy to just imagine it.

[@FitGreenMind]

Aww I love that (and never stop dreaming hehe)😋

[@gailalbers1430]

you could team up

A recommendation for a future video: a Q&A video where people can ask questions to get to know you better!

[@hashimaree9298]

I love that you're showing a whole dinner menu. I host a full moon dinner party most months; I might just lift this whole menu for my next one! Thanks, Maya!

[@jourdanhamme3426]

This is such a lovely way to think. I believe we all image businesses of our passions but don't act on them if we don't follow it 100%. Creativity for yourself or for dinner party

[@laurivanoosterom]

I love your editing skills, Maya! Your videos are so much fun to watch. The meals all look delicious, I would definitely visit your restaurant. 😋

[@FitGreenMind]

I’m so happy to hear that ☺️

[@josecartin825]

I second that! Maybe some programmed dinner dates, one specific day of the week, just one or two options to choose from for the main course and that's it.

[@leer.2137]

"ditto" !

[@thanhtoffolotto5019]

Thank you to transmit your love of cooking and your enthusiasm about cooking. It's amazing! You could make a book of all your recipes for people who doesn't know well to cook and what to cook....

[@sadie7787]

I made the tofu, eggplant, cucumber salad, and cheated with store bought noodles and was so happy with how everything turned out in just about an hour. Leftovers for lunch YUM

[@sherlockholmes2369]

Omg please get a restaurant 😩 ❤

[@FitGreenMind]

👀👀

[@JacobCarlson-uq1my]

I SO wish I had a restaurant that made food like yours Maya, I would eat there everyday.

[@FitGreenMind]

Hehe 🤪

[@DamianSzajnowski]

This is the owners power fantasy. You sound like so done who's never worked in gastronomy. Owning a place is hard work and time to oversight. Even if you pay a lot to fantastic managers it's still hard work and stress, not a place you have to just hop in eat there lmao.

[@JacobCarlson-uq1my]

@@DamianSzajnowski lyao? I wonder if that's saying something there.

[@JacobCarlson-uq1my]

I guess your right in a sence,I am finding others on this internet that are just as good,to be honest. I find it neat how they produce quality vegetarian food in a quick ,easy way to reference manner.

[@DamianSzajnowski]

@@JacobCarlson-uq1my I mean, cool notion to have a great place you own and enjoy spending time in but it did come off as a non-grounded fantasy in your tone. Similarly to a girl dreaming of having a beauty, hair, nail salon she can hang out in, get the services and gossip, not realising having a business is work and responsibility.

[@karenconnolly7152]

Your own kitchen is your own restaurant where you can stress less and explore the cultural fusion of food as you already do and through technology share with us and for this you deserve a ten Maya by inspiring food lovers on a global scale so well done you truly are a beautiful soul ❤

Wow, the concombre was such a great surprise! Your accent is perfect.

Definitely going to try the recipe. Would skip the chipmunk-editing next time though, thats a bit distracting/annoying ;) Thanks!

These dishes were amazing. Thank you for sharing them.

I am going to a university abroad and cooking is something I dread a lot about. Strangely, whenever I watch your videos, it just calms my worries down because your recipe looks so easy and simple to make. I really like it. 🙌 You are definitely gonna be my saving grace when I have to live alone.

[@mariatan9129]

I support your restaurant dreams ! Just remember the details and preparations needed to open one. Getting up super early. Meetings. Checking your logistics. Marketing PR, designing menu n variety. Security n trust issue... you need an army of trustworthy, skilled, creative, practical crew etcetc. Your tank of ideas and skills can not be eaten up by lack of sleep lol . Good luck to you. You are refreshing. Dont loose youf fire. 2024 is a good year to start a project.

OMG that reminds me of something. When I first went vegan and I learned about seitan, I was so blown away and I dreamed of one day owning a vegan steak house that would serve large portions of savory and flavorful seitan with all the steak sides. I dreamed of making the seitan every night and then letting it sit in the fridge to condense till the next night and then doing the final cook in steak sauce once someone put their order in. It was so unrealistic, but it was my dream.

[@holmalbrecht425]

[@mikeskylark1594]

[@blessedbybliss]

Not only what you eat, and how to prepare it, also just your spirit, and your daily discipline. Just MuAGH

[@wimpdis818]

Make sure you get a good team around you if you do start - speed is the key to success. If you aren't used to moving fast and making 20+ orders in quick succession then you need people in your business who can - teach them your recipes so you can handle all the day-to-day business, or get someone in to handle the business while you run the kitchen! Miserable guests are left waiting for food - it doesn't matter that the food is good if it took an hour to arrive at your table! Just some advice to consider if you've not had experience in a professional kitchen.

If you have the desire to open one, I hope you pursue it. God has blessed you with such talent with food ! All the best ❤

[@antoniettagalati2530]

Maya J am so impressed by you. You should definitely write a book and have your own restaurant. Please keep posting. You are teaching me a lot. I am a flexitarian and I need all the help I can get.we all need to eat less animal protein but after 50 years of an omnivorous diet it’s not easy . Almost impossible with everyone else in my family giving me a hard time. I need your help in finding something to satisfy them so that they will not miss meat as much . People like you are a great source of help. Eggs and cheese are the hardest things to give up for me. What vegan cheese do you suggest I try? I am afraid to pick something bad and get completely turned off by it . Keep up the good work.

[@Winnywutz]

She already wrote a cookbook

[@tessg4799]

Maya, you should definitely open a vegan restaurant. I think that would be great for you! 🥰
