Could also be so bad no one wants to say anything or so incredibly awkward that no one wants to say anything my point being that I've never heard of this saying
I don't think I've heard of this saying either but when I would eat with my ex and his family they knew that I was into my food and couldn't be bothered when I wouldn't say anything, her food was so good. They would just laugh and joke about it.
@@allisagarcia7746 aww that's so funny + sweet! Great food is always a blessing 🙌 I hope to become one of those people remembered for making good food 😊
After baking the feta, you could break it up, put it in a really shallow brine with some salt and acidity (lemon ect.) and maybe oregano/rosemary or something, then take it out and bake it again for a little on a rack just so its not too wet, then brush a bit of the brine on-top at the end and it might end up more like feta.
my mom and I live in different places and due to covid I havent been able to visit and make some food to her, so this video was very emotional for me and brought tears to my eyes. im glad you could make your mom happy, you could tell by her face ❤ thank you for this
same! randomly been brought to tears cos of this video. I love cooking for my mum and making her try different dishes and this made me miss her a lot. I guess this is just a beautifully executed video with a wonderful parent-child dynamic!
Freeze and defrost tofu. You get a better texture and can squeeze out more water (literally chunk the pieces and squeeze in your hand it’ll hold its shape)
I tried the tofu part of the recipe and it was SO good 🤤 I even had supper with my parents and didn't tell them either, fooled em! We're not vegan or even vegetarian but i don't need to eat meat every day, and this was just a great spot on meat substitute. So easy, so delicious. I loved it so much that I have my missing ingredients on my grocery list next time I go shopping to try the "feta cheese"
I made this last night for dinner. My husband, who HATES tofu, ate 3 helpings. The almond Feta was the best recipe I've ever made. Normally it's too sweet but this was perfect- I used green olive brine and kalamata olive brine. Yummmm. Thank you for this.
Amazing!! Can we have a written recipe for this as I can work out most of the measurements for the marinade but I don't know how long to bake things for?
everything looks great! I will definitely try it! can you please tell us what kind of tofu did you use? firm? thank you!! Suggestion from a greek one :) in tzatziki add some dry mint and fresh crushed garlic instead of powder! :*
Oh my God this looks so good. I love my chicken souvlaki pita sandwich platters too ❤️ I want to learn to make my own, vegan or not. I’m open-minded and would love to try this vegan version!
I've checked the description box and some of the sites mentioned several times to be sure this wasn't an annoying question....but is there a written recipe somewhere? Thanks, and enjoyed this very much.
I NEEEEED to try this!😍 EDIT: I did the tofu suflaki and it was so good! I kept them in for a bit too long/put the heat too high but they were still really good.
CUTE!!! also I kinda new what the tofu would taste like, coz I like tofu, it's the almond feta and cashew yoghurt that worries me a bit, oh well, it's vegetarian version for me then
Hack for peeling the blanched almonds: after boiling and treating with cold water, transfer into a clean dish cloth. Form a bag by holding all edges and rub the almonds agains the table surface. Readjust from time to time, check in them. Almost no peeling of single almonds!

Rachel should open her own vegan restaurant. She seems like such an amazing cook.
God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all
Yeah, how about a vegan diner?? I would love that tofu souvlaki!
Definitely I would go

what if ppl watching this are atheists? or Jews or Muslims ?
"Am I supposed to say something? I want to keep eating" = success! ❤
True!
Yup, that’s the “something” you want to hear.
God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all
You know what they say: "you know the meal is good when nobody is talking at the dinner table." 😅🥰
So true!

🎶I can make vegan food better than you🎶
Rachel and her mom are so adorable and nice! And the food looks so yummy!
This is so wholesome. Rachel and her family are precious
One way I like to prepare tofu is freezing it, then defrosting It as it softens it and it’s easier to squeeze the water out.
Yes! Freezing it totally changes the texture...in a good way. 👍😉
I think homemade is so much better than take out! 😃
God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all
@@annyms5092 He sure did! His love, grace and mercy never ends 🙏 May God bless you too.
@@CookingWithEmily Thankyou so much ! Praying you and your family are doing well 💕💕

I wish they put the recipe in the description because I REALLY would like to make the tofu chicken
Hey Elvyn! I made it the other night and approximated the ingredients/oven temp and cook time. If you want I can post my recipe!
Tofu souvlaki
Makes one container’s worth of tofu--it was enough for me and my partner but we also had potatoes, tzatziki, salad, and steamed artichokes! Just to keep in mind (:
Ingredients
Firm tofu
⅓~ cup of olive oil
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1-2 tablespoons oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon paprika
1 bay leaf
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste (I did about 1 teaspoon of salt)
Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes
Mix all the other ingredients in a bowl
Cut the tofu into cubes or break it up with your hands!
Toss the tofu in the marinade and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours, mixing at least once before cooking.
Preheat oven to 425F and bake tofu. The tricky part is I really don’t remember how long I did it, but I would say minimum 25-30 minutes. I would suggest going in after 15-20 minute and checking to see if one side has gotten brown. When that happens, flip them over and bake until brown and as crispy as tofu can get!
Serve with tzatziki, lemony greek potatoes, and any salad with a little bite and acidity (we did tomatoes and red onion). Enjoy!
@@emilyh9444 thank you !! 😌✨️
