Wishing everyone that follows Derek and the beautiful Miss America, a holiday season filled with light, love, peace, joy, and tasty vegan food. This channel has been a blessing for me. Not just for what it is but because of the lovely community that seems to follow it. Thank you, Derek for sharing you your extraordinary talents and your beautiful baby girl with us. You are a kind and generous soul and are very appreciated. 🫡💯🕊️
@@ChooseCompassion Thank you for such beautiful wishes. I hope your holidays are filled with happiness and health. I agree, Derek and Frankie 🐾🐾🐕🐾🐾 are a bright light in this world. Praying for compassion, empathy and understanding
It is a total pleasure watching you and Frankie in each video. I am 81 years old and have been cooking as one of my many art forms, since about age 13. Do not use recipes but cook by taste, smell, and then the visual of each dish and completed meal. I have been almost totally vegan since a very young age and have never felt the need or desire to eat an animal. Foster mom for several rescues for over 40 years and this fills my soul with joy as well. Sending you wishes for a peaceful and fulfilled new year of 2025 in the USA.
Amazing as always‼️This is now my New Year's recipe 🎉 My heart ❤️ takes a skip each time you mention Frankie a k.a. Ms. America 🐾🐾🐕🐾🐾 how she won't be here forever 😢. (I am very empathetic to those words/feelings). Enjoy each second with your baby girl for it is precious 💕. I don't want to be a "downer" . I know you absolutely love her it shines ✨ through and your love for Frankie is beautiful and pure, no BS. Sending you both positive thoughts for your next journey, I look forward to watching you both.
I am 68 and like Gerald Durrell lived most of my life in a menagerie from wounded birds to raccoons falling down the chimney ... and my beloved Dad with his dogs, now rolling amongst the stars in the Sirius Constellation probably having an ineffable conversation with the late great Tom Petty. Watching you cook with authority is like watching Nureyev dance, an inspiration. It has been painful to observe that the average age of dogs has shortened .... usually due to the rubbishy kibble that well intentioned vets insist on. I don't care. I know how fragile life is and Kiwi will probably predesease me but as a 10 lb rescue Peke whose best friend is a magestic Rottie/Alsatian cross I know she is getting the best life she can. I Had a rough day today, miss my late husband like hell but I volunteer at a drop in centre where as a life long foodie I love the surprises that roll off that truck. 80 percent of the people prefer the vegan option. Also many people of no fixed abode are devoted to their dogs and there is a list of vets who are available. So I had no time to feel sorry for myself. Deep sadness, we get through it the human condition ,,,, Thank you Derek for being in the world.❤❤🐕🐕PS I always watch The Bishop's Wife on this day; Cary Grant the most improbable angel and, well it;s a tradition ,,,,
For someone who proclaims to be socially awkward, you shine here! You give me great tips, short cuts, waste management, and a feeling of inclusion. Some of my immediate family and friends don’t really understand why I chose vegetarianism many years ago. I am leaning more and more naturally into veganism. Thank you. Wishing you and Miss America Happy Holidays and safe travels.
I watch a lot of channels on TH-cam but you're cooking channel is by far my favorite! I've learned so many things from you, and everything you make looks so delicious! And Frankie is a great bonus. She's so sweet! ❤
I was just telling a relative what i was making for Christmas and I found that I started by listing all the roasted veggies and lastly said I made a walnut and lentil roast in puff pastry. All my meals start with the veg ❤
That is the prettiest tofu ever with those little leek rings on top! The whole meal looks super delicious and nice served in that black dish. Glad Ms. America cleaned that big pot for you 💚 May you Frankie, and all beings be happy.
Teddy and I look forward to every video from you. I believe he’s crushing on Miss America. Thank you for being here for those of us who are going full-on vegan 🎄✨🙏
You inspired me to start cooking again so far I made squash & white bean soup, barley soup, spinach quiche, sweet potato pie, almond cookies, ect., thank you.
Your videos inspire me to cook. I have been feeling very unmotivated to cook lately... you know those holiday blues. But binging your videos is helping with that.
It’s great that you’ re a professional chef but can still find the thrill in being happy about how the food transforms as it cooks! Wonderful! Great vid. Thanks, and pets for (wiseacre) Frankie, too!
Yup, looks good! Basically blanched then roasted veggies and dressed up crusted tofu with sauce. I did something similar recently with tofu, portabello mushrooms, sweet potatoes and fresh spinach...also in a rosemary sauce. Rosemary is always very winter and holidays. Delish.
It’s going to be hard to not have a regular Derek and Frankie fix, but there are so many previous videos to master, boredom will never set in! Wishing you and Frankie every happiness in the year ahead, and happy trails! Though your UK friends will be sad to see you turn the page, your warmth (and Ms. America!) will be a magnet for many new friends! Thanks for your videos, Derek…I think it has made a difference in so many of our lives… we look forward to more as you travel the States!
Honestly, I could watch you cooking all day! You have absolutely transformed my own cooking, and made me much less scared of things! I love your recipes, and I do hope that when you leave the |UK, you will continueto post your videos, I would feel lost without them now! I know America is your home, so it's understandable that you want to go back - but Trump's America???? I hope you can keep out of all the madness. Good luck, and Merry Christmas.
You are really doing an excellent service for all who are struggling to feel comfortable in the kitchen. The way you are explaining what you are doing, why you are doing it and adding safety tips, combined with your cooking skills makes you a phenomenal teacher for all of us. I can’t thank you enough for these videos.
Derek!! I may have said this before but Frankie and my Blondie should be friends. They’re so much alike. Anyway I’ve been away for awhile but I’m back now. Cuz I’ve told my vegetarian daughter about you she’s finally interested in how and what you cook. That’s huge!! Good to be back Derek!! You still need to come to CA!!!! Merry holidays to you and Frankie!! 🤗❤️❤️🤩💋💋
Looks absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing all of these recipes... and your wonderful pup. Looking forward to your next adventure! Happy Christmas 🎄
Love the way you describe every detail of the process, so that even the less experienced viewer gets the answers to questions we didn't even know we had. And the recipes (and videos) always look gorgeous. Thank you!
Thank you for another great video, especially as you must be so busy now closing one chapter of your life and moving onto the new one. Thanks also to you and Frankie for teaching us about the joys of cooking, compassion and life. Wishing you both a joyous and peaceful festive season. 🎄❤
I have learned so much from you! I love the way you make things so simple but delicious. The other thing is Miss America! She is so sassy! Safe travels on your back here.
Always a treat to see your videos & Frankie ... you make cooking more accessible and your love and dedication to Frankie warms our hearts. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and approach to life with us ... your time and efforts are greatly appreciated. Sending love as your next adventures unfold & looking forward to your experiences with van life.
This is the ultimate comfort food dish on a cold day. Looks delicious! I can't decide which one of Frankie's comments made me laugh harder. They are all great and she is gorgeous! Safe travels as you move back here to the States. I wish you and Frankie all the happiness in this next chapter of your lives. Hugs and kisses to that beautiful Frankie! 🐾💗🐾
There is nothing in this video not to love! Thank you for making cooking fun! It's made a huge difference in my life for sure! Wishing you and Miss Frankie a wonderful holiday and New Year! I sure hope at some point you make it to Utah. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is waiting along with 5 beautiful National Parks! Hugs to you and Miss Frankie from Bunzee and me! P.S. Bunzee did not appreciate that siren! lol 💚💚💚
I have learned so, so much from your videos… it’s amazing. Thank you!!! I even dared to get myself a cast iron pan and now I wonder how I ever managed without such a pan before??!! ❤ to Frankie (My beloved dog is very close to crossing the Rainbow Bridge… it’s true, we should always remember they won’t stay forever… each day is a gift!)
I’ve learned so much watching you cook, especially the time saver steps, potato water poured over the carrots, celery, genius 👍 Yay, you finally have a closing date! Looks like you’re going to have a white Christmas in England, all the best to you and Frankie, your family and friends. Can’t wait to see the van! 🚐
That Frankie is an amazing editor! LOL! Yes she needs one on one...I don't have my grandpup this Christmas so time will fly too quickly when it comes to our loving pets time....savour it all..Pun intended...Great shows keep it up!!!
Hi Derek and Frankie❤. Love the Old Man Roger's. Everyone should own a pair. Yes Frankie your visualize treats thought, very cute. The tofu looks so good and the gravy too. Take care Gale x
Frankie and you simply fill my soul with a Big Smile! I’m 68, lost my sense of smell after COVID and am relearning to cook from you and yours.✨❤️✨Happy Christmas 🎄
So true. I was waitress for 35 years and loved it. But I always tell people the reason restaurant food taste so good is they put a ton of butter in the food?😁 I love this dish. I’m definitely gonna have to try it especially the tofu with the leeks on top.
Happy Christmas Eve, Derek and Frankie and viewers 🎄I’m in tonight vegan cookie and treats baking into the night and watching along. Have a lovely Christmas, all ❄️🤍🕊️ Thank you for a great cooking and entertainment experience, Derek ☺️
Well, this just looks amazing - where is smell-o-vision when you need it? Best wishes for the big move and a new year filled with adventures, surprises, new friends and great cooking.
Ms Frankie is hilarious 😅 This is a wonderfully inspiring video for this time of year. What a mouth-watering end result! 🤤 Looking forward to more from Ms Frankie and team :)
Frankie helping with clean up FTW!! This meal looks like another home-run! Mr T would be proud!! I can't wait to give this a go. Thanks for the inspiration D!! Hi Frankie! 👑🤩
Wow, everything about this meal looks so delicious! The roasted veggies around the main course and the potatoes, roasted tofu and gravy, absolutely scrumptious! Thank you for sharing this fabulous upscale recipe, Derek! And thank you for sharing sweet Frankie with all of us. It's always a joyful ride watching your videos. Sending love and blessings to you and Frankie from Northern California.💖🤗❄️🌠🙏
Love it! As always! Best cooking and videos on cooking! Frankie is sweet almost as sweet as my babies! Ethical vegan and I have three rescue dogs! 🌱☮️♾️
I love to watch how you prepare all the amazing food and it always makes me hungry and I want to eat it! We tried (my husband and I) many of your recipes and they were always amazing! Saying all that I am always looking forward to seeing Frankie and her comments the most 😂. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both ❤❤❤
So THAT is how it’s done!!!!! Thank you for such generous and positive energy as you share your gifts and skills with the world. I’ve learned so much from your videos. May the peace and Light of the season bless you and Frankie for all the coming days, weeks and years! 💖
Hey Derek, I just finished making the tofu Rockefeller and am taking it for Christmas Eve dinner today. I'm so wondering how your move to the US is going and I know you'll keep us all up to date. Wishing you and Frankie the very happiest holidays and peace and great ease in your move...can't wait to see what you both will do when you return to US...Much love and hugs to you both.
Watching this on Christmas Eve sick in bed and it's motivating me to get up and make some lunch. Looks so good. I hope your transition back to the Americas is as easy as can be. Welcome back and I wish you a very happy new year.
I love what you said about taking the time to make it and to give it the passion you would if it were an animal product. I use to spend a lot of time smoking meat, paying close attention to all of the details, and when I went plant based, I felt pretty lost with all the nuances of it. I definitely rushed my first sets of meals because it felt foreign to me and i couldn’t extract the flavors out of any dishes that I wanted to. But after some time and dialing in, the love came back. I’m REALLY enjoying the prep and cooking now. And the added bonus of no cross contamination. End all suffering. Thanks for this wonderful recipe, D. Into the great wide open! ❤
I want to thank you for your ideas and presentation. I am on a diet focused on stabilizing my blood sugar without introducing boredom into my kitchen. Your ideas regarding tofu have been very helpful. I wish you well on your journey back to the States and hope to see you in the future. One of many fans...

this is just sense isn't it? to love one or a few types of animal and preserve/rescue those, we just let the others alone..x

Be glad to have you back in The States.

This was Thanksgiving meal. I still haven't tried it yet. I'm crawling into my path into Tofu. ❤
It's so good!
Thank you for the video, ❤
Watching this on Christmas Eve sick in bed and it's motivating me to get up and make some lunch. Looks so good. I hope your transition back to the Americas is as easy as can be. Welcome back and I wish you a very happy new year.
That was supposed to say sick in bed. 🎄
