Madeleine Olivia I have messaged you on instagram as well but had no reply. I bought your book yesterday and it wouldn’t download. Now the link is expired and I still have no book. Could you please help.
this is so helpful! thank you so much for doing this, please do more of these! they are so inspiring
Ionela Englezu hi! please email me at hello@madeleineolivia.co.uk and I will sort this problem for you 😊
this comment is a year late but i completely agree with what you said about cooking being therapeutic.
its such a shame when i see people beating others up about not being fully vegan/not being fully zero waste, as long as everyone is trying and is aware of the issue you can only do so much as an individual without it taking over your whole life
+++
great comment, i totally agree! in stead of being negative about someone, it's better to give advice and compliment someone for trying and encouraging them :)
True. I’m still not fully vegan (maybe soon), but doing pretty well, I think. I save my energy for people who are openly attacking the very idea of vegan and vegetarianism, and are being entitled to the point that they don’t care about other living things. We shouldn’t be fighting amongst ourselves when there are far greater things to focus on!
Exactly. Its so important to support each other to try our best, and not to shame anybody.
this is so true
we bake our own bread but don't save loads of money because it's so nice we just eat more bread!
Estelle Scordellis thats becomes my problem with fresh bread, my family just gobbles it up right away
Us too! Whenever I make fresh bread we just snack on it and go through a whole loaf in like a day! Hahaha
Thank you for acknowledging the balance between sustainability, budgeting, time, and health! It's helpful and inspiring for those of us who are just starting and trying to figure stuff out.
I agree that the communities can be alienating. People don't realize that just because they can do something doesn't mean someone else can. Each individual faces different challenges and we need to be less competitive and more inclusive 🤗
If you intend to cook more from scratch with a low waste approach, I think you would love to have an Instant Pot. It makes cooking the basics so much easier, faster and cheaper (less electricity used). I bought mine 2 years ago and use it everyday. You can batchcook chickpeas, lentils, all the beans you wish, potatoes, rice, make porridge, apple sauce, jams etc... It's also easy to make soy milk, vegan yogurt or make your dough rise faster. I even make my own tempeh with it. It's the one appliance I don't want to do without.
Hi, what recipe do you use for your tempeh? And can it be done plastic free? :) Love my Instant Pot as well!
I mix two recipes: the one from veganlovlie (they have a website and a youtube) and the one from full of plants (type instant pot tempeh in google). The important thing is to find a good tempeh starter. I tried making it in glass containers and it worked but the tempeh was a bit looser than when I tried it with ziploc bags. For my next try I'm going to press it more firmly and use a makeshift lid with holes to keep it that way during incubation. If it's still on the looser side, I'll resign myself to using plastic bags, reusing them several times. It's super economical to make your own. Here in France they ask 4€ for 200g. For that amount, I can make well over 1kg of homemade tempeh. It freezes well too.
@@nymeria8852 Thank you so much! Where do you get your tempeh starter? It costs about 5€ in Romania as well, and I can only find it in one store and not all the time :D
I buy this one: www.tempeh.info/starter/tempeh-starter.php I always choose the 75g packet. Lasts forever and great price.
I absolutely love you how speak about veganism and being low waste. Being on a budget, it often feels very alienating, but the videos you make are so helpful and I am so grateful. Also I grew up going camping in Portscatho and it’s lovely to see Cornwall in your videos! Thank you so much for everything you’re doing ❤️
As you said in the video i find it very important to remind ourselves that sometimes we are not going to be the "perfect" person in terms of sustainability. What is important to keep trying and be kind to ourselves. Also its great that people like you (who reach a huge audience) keep reminding us its ok to keep trying to improve without being hateful when we are not perfect.
Thanks for the content. Cant wait to try some of this.
where are your mugs and bowls from? they're gorgeous!
Thank you! Various places haha! Most have been bought in local shops! And others are gifts!
I’ve seen really similar (if not exact) versions in anthropologie x
There are kind of similar mugs from blomingville up on amazon
They are indeed!
Maybe a bit random, but if you're ever in Lisbon they have this local ceramics by weight shop 'Loiça ao kilo' their stuff looked the same as the mugs in the video :)
Fab video and absolutely agree that we need to be inclusive of everyone who is doing their best. I've been trying and testing plant based recipes and sharing on my blog so those new to cooking plant based know they have a recipe that works. Small steps but if a million people take them, we'll be sharing an idea around the world in no time.
Love these videos! 💚 Went to my local Morrisons yesterday instead of my usual Aldi student shop and was amazed by their efforts to reduce plastic packaging - so much unpackaged fruit and veg, paper carrier bags and even loose eggs so you could just take as many as you need! Was really great to see 😊😊
Yes i noticed too,well done Morrisons and also paper bags for loose veg...
When I move out I’m planning on trying a variety of vegan meals and your channel really inspires me!
I was hospitalised with coronavirus back in June, and after that for some reason I am now unable to tolerate any animal or dairy products of any source. I have found that in following a vegan diet, I feel the best I ever have.
I’ve mentioned somewhere else. Wonky veg from Morrison’s. Veg box £3.50. Wonky avocados £2.50. Several other species of wonky eg carrots , onions and so on...
Love love LOVE the format of this video - LOVE how you show all the ingredients & then how you make the dish! More meal vids like this please!?!? 🧡🌻
I love that you use things that are already in your cupboard!! it makes more sense this way I think because you wouldn't necessarily buy every single ingredient every week as some last much longer
When I looked up a recipe for authentic hummus they reccomend making the beans from scratch and blending them still warm. It's less gritty because the skins are soft. I tried it, and it tasted way better than using canned chickpea.
Just found your channel, we are making the change to become vegan. We were both 50 last year and are taking control, thanks for the great video. X
Congratulations on you new adventure. I hope you love being a vegan as much as I do.
This looks amazing!!! I also order a box of seasonal veggies and I plan my meals according to the veggies I get.
i LUV these hauls and budget meals plssss do more maddie xxxd
I'm not a vegan or a vegetarian but when it comes to energy and waste I try to be as sustainable as poss I eat lots of fruit and veg regardless as I work outdoors all week its important to keep vitamin levels up. If we all do our bit we can save our beautiful planet🌏
In terms of plastic wastage in the UK - I heard from a Tesco delivery driver last week that they are planning on discontinuing carrier bags in about 15 weeks’ time. I’ve not been able to verify it, and have no idea if they plan to substitute paper bags or what, but if it’s true it could be that supermarkets really are trying to reduce plastic waste.
I LOVE these videos! Even though I live in the US, the meal ideas are so great. Aldi's is my favorite, even though the amount of plastic is rough. I agree with you totally.....the easiest way to alienate people from a movement is to be judgmental to others who are doing their best. If everyone just stopped using plastic bags and water bottles alone it would make such a difference! Eliminating waste is a process, and if people make small steps and see how easy it is, they may move on to the next step and inspire others too.....why people would be so negative about people trying to make a difference one step at a time is beyond me! Keep up the good vibes! And WHERE can one find Alex's Eco > Ego sweatshirt??
It’s my merch! Linked in my description!
Mad, try cooking the chickpeas in the pressure cooker. I cook mine for 15 min after soaking and freeze in portions to use later.
I love your attitude and care for the food and for the environment. You are doing so great
Honestly I know this is an older video but a game changer for me has been a slow cooker. Didn't soak your beans? Want some chickpeas? Just chuck them in the slow cooker on high for around 4-5 hours and bam, perfect chickpeas or kidney beans with 0 effort. I recently completed the Ration Challenge and had to use dried beans and chickpeas for that and now I'm definitely not going back, which I might have done had I not been able to just slow cook them from dried in a matter of a few hours. Also I imagine you already know this but for anyone who doesn't, I recommend black turtle beans! Very flavourful, and no soaking needed, just boil on the hob for 1h30 ^_^
Your final comments are so kind and on point! Being Vegan is the way forward. Everything else is the cherry on top. Animal Liberation Baby!!!
W o w I appreciate the quantity of nutritional yeast you chucked in that pasta 😍
I’d love a “vegan on a budget: college edition” like recipes, meals, snacks specifically catered to busy/limited cooking access university students. (I’m from the US so I use college for your university)
Such wholesome relaxing content! Too much drama this week (personally and online) Glad I found this to watch! 💕
Hi! I just moved to UK, trying to better my life with vegan food and zero waste. Your videos are the best and so very helpful !
Try sourdough bread, even more low waste since you don't need the yeast sachet and I think it lasts longer - it doesn't turn into stone in one or two days
So here for the budget meals! Saving for a trip!!
You look gorgeous!!!
Omg the pasta dishes look so delicious! I'd love to see an easy wholemeal bread recipe. Maybe even sourdough :)
that sandwich looks sooooo good 💗💗💗
Thank you writing for (houmous) to get it to be closer to its original prounciation in Arabic 😍 You guys are great lots of love from Egypt 🇪🇬
Also for the Houmous try a very authentic group of spices that go well with it like salt pepper or chilli cummin and lemon olive oil and tehini
'I think pears can be really good or really bad!' hahahaha
Thank you for another amazing video! The meal ideas look so approachable ane I love how natural you look in front of the camera 🤣
Hi Madeleine. Great Videos. You make being vegan really simple, easy and tasty. Can you please do a video on making different savoury rices for lunches as its when I am not at home that I struggle the most to stay vegan. I've tried myself but lets just say I'm not a natural in the kitchen! Would be much appreciated. Thanks xxx
Your groceries at Tesco is so cheap. Being a Canadian we couldn't get away with groceries this cheap. I love your recipes. I need to do chick peas and beans from scratch. Thanks for a great video
Very good video! Thank you for showing me how to make so many meals low waste and with a budget! More of the same please!! You're fab
I have been using dried chickpeas for years and will never buy cooked anymore. My brand: Edison Brand Organic. They have lots of awesome products. Clean source for those who must have gluten free from a reliable source. Love your videos!
nice music choices yes yes
I get riverford fruit and/or veg boxes! Love them
Love the idea of oddbox ! Will definitely be subscribing to their service
Sorry ~ what was the other thing you spread on the bread for the sandwiches (other than the humous)?
Hey, how about you two opening a vegan cafe in Falmouth?
I've just found out about the one and only bulk shop in my town and I'm checking it out tomorrow :))
Where did he get that eco > ego shirt? I love it
Had to pause this video to grab some hummous, I do love your content but it makes me so hungry 😂 🥕 xx
Excellent video and recipes. You need to be patient with Alex when he is doing any cooking. I prefer to buy lemon's because the lemon juice in a bottle has artificial preservatives in it. I love Lentil Dahl.
I know I do haha it’s bad. I just get really really affected by hunger haha
Do you have a playlist of the songs that you use?
Chili is also good on pasta like spaghetti or rice ;)
What's the name of the song you guys used in this video plz an thank
I need Alex's sweater
You can get it! Linked in the description - it’s my ethically made merch!
Also can try out milk and more
i love your food! yuuum thanks for sharing! :)
Your bread recipe plz! Thamk youuu
What kind of sauce did you add to your hummus sandwich? It looked delish. Thanks.
Some tomato relish/pickle!
Which pickle is used @4:51, in the sandwich?
hey Madelaine, i love you vids, they are so useful !, i have a question did you go to St Andrews?, i'm actually going there, how's there?
dulutus Feel apparently she did and so did Alex, they met there!
Tahini and nutritional yeast are pretty expensive.
Not when you buy in bulk!
Try making tahini if you can
where are your breakfast bowls from? ❤️
Everything looked amazing.. just one question u out hummos on one side of the sandwhich but what was the red spread u put on the other side of the sandwich ?? Thank u
I saw her reply to someone else above that it was mediterranean tomato chutney :)
Lauren Norman ohh thank u..💕💕
i loooooove your chennel
Can I use oat milk instead of soya for the creamy pasta dish? I’m very allergic to soybeans 🤦🏼♀️
Orla-Katy I’d say so! 😃 x
I love chickpeas but I hate hummus... go figure
Did you make a sandwich with strawberry jam and hummus? I am so confused hahahah :D
It’s tomato pickle/chutney!
@@MadeleineOliviaOlivia haha I was getting worried!
oh dear lord your intro musak and background musak is set for profoundly deaf its painful and not needed silence is golden
Loved how you mentioned accessibility at the end! I think you do such a good job of sharing options in a non-alienating way. Love your vids always!
Wear I Live hi Jenny! So nice to see my fav youtubers support each other. :)
Budgeting and saving money is so fun to me, so I love when you make these videos! ❤️ keep up the amazing work!
Right!? These videos make it even more fun for me too.
Have you tried cooking chickpeas with baking soda? I did yesterday and my mind was blown. Even if you use canned ones and if you boil them with baking soda for 20min all the skins disappear and I've never made hummus so smooth before. Love these videos ((:
Oh wow!!! So gonna try this!
Madeleine Olivia i mean they sticked to the sides not just turned into air, but once I rinsed the chickpeas there were no skins left
Lucija Nared how much baking soda would you add for say a cans worth size of chickpeas?
At least you had a good result with baking soda added to the water for your chickpeas, mine turned black and had a funky taste to them.
I like to use the chickpea water for my homous. It makes it so creamy and you use something that would normally be wasted
Lidl and Asda quite often do wonky veg boxes that are really cheap so it’s useful to keep an eye out for those :)
Tesco do for some fruit and veg too!
Yeah but with the lidl one you have to catch it in the morning so keep that in mind x
Maddie, do you know what else is therapeutic? Your videos! ❤
Potato, chickpea and spinach curry, you make it for two people but you always end up with extra portions, veggie dishes really are the dish that keeps on giving.
Making me really hungry 😂 great video as always 💫
Doesn't really concern this video specifically buuuut just wanted to share that I really appreciate your food videos! I am not really a vegan - just started going dairy free and I honestly feel so much better! And your videos have really great alternatives. :)
mynameisarte Same. I still haven’t transitioned from eating eggs and very occasionally honey and fish, but when I do eat them I research thoroughly and buy the highest-welfare versions I can find. Discovering more options with videos like these makes it easier to swap in something else sometimes and cut down on the eggs and fish.✌🏽
I don’t usually comment but just wanted to say I love the way you’ve laid out the description box! Such a lame thing to comment on but it’s so helpful and easy to find your recommendations ☺️
It’s 12:40 and I feel the sudden urge to make that porridge. Its technically morning so that means it’s breakfast ...right? 😅
it's always breakfast time. :p
cynoglav now that’s a philosophy I am willing to live by 😂
'Cereal' counted as a separate food group when I was a student. So yes, you must make sure you get a decent daily intake.
I LOVE your channel. Seriously, you are awesome. I love you attitude and cheerfulness. Also, Alex cracks me up. I've binged on your videos and they are very helpful. You are REAL and I appreciate that.
Never thought of houmous and pickle together before, I know what I will be having in my sandwich tomorrow now!
So was pickle that red stuff?
@@priscillajimenez27 You get pickle in a jar, it's called "sweet pickle," it's a really widely used sandwich filler in the UK and you cant get it in all supermarkets :)
In India we usually soak the chickpeas overnight and cook it in a pressure cooker. It takes very less time and energy :) LOVE YOUR CONTENT!
Ranjani Janakiraman same by us in Spain!
I love the pasta with tahini idea! Keep cooking 😊
I think Morrisons might be a good idea. They have a scheme where if you have meat or fish (I know you're vegan, so this wouldn't apply to you) you can take your own container to reduce the plastic waste. They also usually have a loose version of fresh fruit and veg so you can use your own bags. Also the loose stuff is usually cheaper, and they do wonky fruit and veg which is always cheaper, so it's pretty good.
Sainsbury's now do this for the meat and fish counters too! I think possibly for the deli too?
I agree with Morrisons loose fruit and veg selection though. It's probably the best I've seen in any of the main supermarket chains.
In Germany supermarkets are not allowed to take your container over the counter in the meat/dairy section because of possible cross-contamination. I saw a video where a supermarket found a "loophole" in providing a metal tray where you can put your container on and then they can take it over the counter and fill it up, and afterwards sterilize the tray. I thought it was such a great idea!
Quick tip with the dried chickpeas! To save soaking and boiling them, rinse them and stick them in the slow cooker on low overnight, it does the soaking and cooking all in one go while you sleep!
You can do this with most dried beans except red kidney beans with do need a good boiling as they will give you in upset tummy!
Always do my chickpeas this way now!
Also with riverford any thing they cant get local they freight by land and sea rather than by air so much lower co2 👍
Great video guys. I've been following your channel since I went vegan over a year ago, your recipes have been a life saver. A little tip from me, don't drink caffeinated drinks with your porridge, as it inhibits the absorption of iron into your body. I don't know if your drinks were caffeinated but just thought I'd drop that in there!
We make our own bread and save money that way. It's more tasty than the store bought one and also we know what we put in it. We have a really simple recipe... I call it ROYAL LOAF because you can make it literally minutes before you leave the house all dressed up💃😁 Here is the link for the BREAD RECIPE instagram.com/p/BsQcrR0HRsn/?igshid=14tpwfw2l4vzy
This kind of video is my all time favorite in your channel. I love to see what you cook and eat
Fyi as Tahini can sometimes be hard to find depending on where you live and pricey you can just make it yourself. Its actually incredibly easy and often times cheaper.
you can use peanut butter instead!
Do you have a recipe you use?
Tahini is essentially just sesame seeds, oil and salt. When making hummus, instead of tahini, you can use seeds (I have used sesame or sunflower seeds) or even cashew nuts, which we used, when we did not have any seeds or tahini at summer cottage. :D And then add more salt and oil that recipe states. :) Actually the cashew nut hummus was the best hummus I've ever had. :D
Oh my goodnessss 😍😍😍😍 I WANT TO TRY EVERYTHING!
I love this series sooo much! I’d love to see more. I think it’s great that you’re keeping it realistic and are using the stuff that you already have. ☺️
What you said at the end is so important. I honestly get that feeling so often of not doing enough because I still have to buy plastic at some times because as a student I don’t have the biggest budget and it can get frustrating sometimes. Also I think people who are just starting out with making more sustainable choices can get easily overwhelmed with everything you should do and then they might give up. So thank you for mentioning this problem and telling people that every change one makes is great and that we don’t have to be perfect 💕
Just wanted to give a shout out to the chickpea tuna! Since I saw this video I've made it a few times but every time had it with salad and pasta. It's so delicious and if you make it in a big batch at the start of the week you can keep it in the fridge and take some out each day for a packed lunch. Amazing and I would never have thought of it if I hadn't seen this video!
Thumbs up for the cute sleepy faces at the beginning! :) you are doing such a great job with this series! Thank you soooo much, the videos are lots of help! c:
I really liked that you pointed out that going Vegan is the most important step for lowering your environmental impact. It's so important! Thank you for everything you do and make!
Dal means lentil. Calling it lentil dal means you’re calling it dal dal 😶 I’m Indian, we make dal a lot, so just wanted to mention this. Also, consume rice within 24 hours of being cooked! If you want to, you can always freeze. That’s a much better way of eating rice! Would love to see progress on your cottage, I have been loving the renovation videos, so good! 😍
Or lentil lentil.
I thought cooked rice had a three-day shelf life if kept in the fridge? I’ve eaten rice more than one day old and been okay, but maybe I got lucky? 🤷🏼♂️
@@Melissa.Garrett as long as you cooled down the rice that you're not eating straightaway as quickly as possible, then within 3 days is usually fine
Even though I'm not vegan, i still watch all your vegan recipe videos just because they look so yummy and fit my student budget. Keep making great content xx
An idea for people looking to save money but who are also short on time could just freeze their bread to save it from going off as opposed to needing to make their own
My husband has been making his own bread for years. I can't remember the last time we ate store bought bread.
I'm home sick and was happy to get the notification for this video 😊 Was it strawberry jam that you added to the hummus sandwich? Looked so yummy 💛
I was just going to comment the same thing! I was like, is that jam or salsa?
It was some Mediterranean tomato chutney
Awesome, thank you!. I figured it was something savory, wanted to ask because it looks like strawberry on the video, lol
Hahaha not sure I’d love strawberry and hummus together 😅
I was scrolling through the comments hoping someone had asked about that. I’m watching on my phone and couldn’t read the jar on the small screen. I kept thinking “surely that’s not jam...” lol
I just pay 50p for a loaf of bread, obviously homemade is much nicer but I still think cheaper to buy bread. Because least you don’t have to pay electric on too to cook it
We have a breadmaker, might be worth investing. Cheapest devent models are around £30-40. Wack it on when leaving for work and by 5pm the house smells so good I want to lick the walls. Uses as much energy as a slow cooker or light bulb being on and kneads for you too.
@@td7363 lick the walls hahaha idk why this tickled me so much
