Please never change the show. I absolutely hate cooking shows because of the fake drama and all of that .. I'm so happy and love this show and it's vegan ❤
I'm watching this straight after finishing a Top Chef episode, and I can't help but appreciate the many similarities in production -- I applaud the producers! But more than anything, I love how everyone is SO MUCH HAPPIER in this series than in Top Chef 😅
I’m vegan and I watch this and I noticed the same thing. It’s part of the lifestyle. They are all supportive of each other. It’s lovely. Hard to see anyone leave 😢
Teresa is so charming whenever she gets called out for having a great dish, she’s so humble. Love all the contestants, and i’m seriously craving pad thai now.
Love so much about this! The production quality, the contestants (all so wonderful), and beautiful spotlight on the magic of vegan food. Nothing could be better. I want everything Teresa cooks!! "Tell us about what we're about to inhale" - Chad Lmaoooo!
Christian looks kind of a Patrick Bateman character with his intensity, high standards, and "I disagree with the judges" attitude, but you better believe that I'd pay him to cook my dinner!
This is incredible! I usually have a really hard time watching traditional cooking shows, this was just a joy to watch knowing these are all delicious cruelty-free dishes ❤
This is amazing. Yall got me wanting to get back in my cooking bag ❤. I absolutely love Chad and how he chose to honor the roots of plantbased diets early on. This touched me deeply. He is such an advocate and ally!
I love that this Vegan Top Chef is happening but please turn down that annoying background music and gives us more information of ingredients used for us long time Home Vegan Chefs!! Congrats and Thank You!😍
The cool thing about a vegan cooking show is that the hosts never have to worry about botulism or other animal borne food issues. I'd love to see this take off and perhaps Food Network or other food shows of world repute could take on this. I'd love to see top chefs show off their best options for vegan cooking... too many other cooking shows just concerned about cooking a meat to "right temperature"!
Teresa killed it. Her sandwich looked so good. I'm sure she had some hard times being a military kid, but she also gained some great experiences. I am saying this as a Marine Corps veteran. 🌱💪🏽✌🏾✌🏾 Great work, everyone.
I’m really enjoying these episodes and series. Finally! It’s about time a show like this to be made. Hopefully a network will pick it up! but the music is distracting.
Great vibes, beautiful food, wonderful people, excellent production. It's nice to see the positive side of competition, people bringing out the best in each other and themselves
This is fabulous - It will 'premiere' on my wall TV in our kitchen on the meat free Mondays - No bluster, no hurry and nothing false unlike Masterchef or other shows !
I'm rooting for Teresa or Nowel. Their food looks amazing and they seem so nice. Also, I can't get over how pretty Shanleigh is. Her voice is so soothing.
I was so looking forward to watching this and learning some new recipes and techniques. However, we don’t get to see the cooks working on their dishes, just 5hebfinished res7lts.
Im so happy to have found this show! I’ve been getting more into cooking competition shows but of course its meat based! Watching this really inspires me and makes me really appreciate the plant based diet 😊
I love the selection of recipes presented here ;) Also note: protein is important for vegans as well. As the chef said at 4:40, you can get enough protein in a vegan meal, but not if you eat rice with salad... :)
I’m so happy to see a vegan cooking competition show! I used to watch Food Network with my Great Grandmother for hours before she passed away. And that got me into watching them. However, since going vegan I have a hard time watching cooking shows where they’re cooking with traditional animal based meals; it just uncomfortable to me. So the fact that this show does now exists is awesome!!! It’s also a great opportunity for non-vegan people to see how great plant-based/vegan foods can be.
My son and I collaborate together with stir-fry. I'm plant based he isn't. I prep the veggies and cook the soba noodles and rices (Jasmine for him, brown or wild for me). He stir-fries the veggies. Then we layer rice, noodles, then veggies. We enjoy adding eggplant and a certain green squash from Costa Rica in with the usual veggies. Sometimes we add Bake On (pronounced bacon) tempeh (triple grain) for a little extra flavor. I am enjoying watching this if for no other reason than to give me some ideas. He also likes my plant based chili that I make. Secret ingredient in that is pureed pumpkin. My son doesn't know about that yet. :)
This is just SO inspiring. Any vegan home cook who watches this will feel so giddy inside seeing it proven how amazing and delicious vegan food can be! Myself included!
Love the idea of a kind of vegan masterchef. Would suggest giving a little more about the background of the chefs (not the typical American cryfest of how awful their life has been, but the positive angles of veganism in particular), more challenges out of the kitchen area (look at the UFC's ultimate fighter for a decent idea for reality tv side of things). A recap of the dishes at the side might be good to show. I get this is a shorter show, 20 minutes long, so the overlay of those dishes while talking could be useful. Great show! Very clever advertising tool for the restaurants. Bottom two should have the cook-off at the end imo. Recreating a typical vegan dish and you can give that recipe as it goes, the guest judge should cook that one to show them the standards and such and then they recreate it :) would be good! Congrats!
I just love Teresa! BTW the way to correctly pronounc Sabikh is with the accent on the ultimate syllable: "saBIKH". In Israel the salad is put inside the pita-pocket, but I guess there are no rules when you get to this level of cooking. This was just an unimportant remark. I realy love Teresa, and would like a chance to eat at her restaurant one day.
Nice presentation with the tai butternut dish Chole. Jeff definitely brings a good dish. Chef Nowel keys into nutritious and her presentation is great. Chef Christian sounds like the dish was elevated as you noted with all from day one. No with Jeff and Chloe. They both appear to be such kind individuals also but would bring more. No surprise with Teresa. There were layers of flavor and as they said “visually” stunning. Jeff is such a gentle soul when he was cooking. Chole stay in there.
Seriously? I'm shocked that #Ethiopian vegan cuisine, which is one of the earliest, most authentic, healthiest, and best vegan cuisines in the world, wasn't included in the list of honourees. How could anyone overlook Injera, the super-food? Nevertheless, I want to raise a toast to all the down-to-earth, caring, and kind vegan chefs out there. It's a refreshing change from mainstream non-vegan culinary contests where many contestants are often cocky, mean and egotistical. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next episod.
Please tone down the loud over the top music! The food looks awesome, I’d actually like to hear what each Vegan Chef has to say about their creations without all the music drowning them out! Let the food shine!
Much better, so much colors! And better at featuring the dishes. For the entertainment of it, either changing the lighting and camera work, or ask the contestants to wear brighter or richer colored clothing. There's too much cool and dark cast shadows
i grew up in a part of the world where food is not hot spiced, but food is not bland and rich with flavors. it is customary to have home made hot sauce (even in restaurants) so whomever wants to add is able to. i usually didn't. it was not until i moved to the united states that i saw people eat spicy hot food. it took me a while to adapt, but still don't really care if it is not spicy as long as there are other flavors in the dish. i wish i could had tried the dish that lost today to see if it needed more or not, or was it just the culture in the US, but not every culture in the world ad chiles to their food and that is something that should be taken into account.
I agree with the judges...every plate looked fabulous and delectable. There really wasn't a bad dish in the bunch. They had to split hairs to come up with a winner, and then select a dish that wasn't as top notch as they would have preferred, in order to have to send one person home. I'm glad that I'm not in their shoes!!!
I think this could go a step further in teaching by talking about their vegan substitutes...like what is their Vegan butter? What kind of oils and why...at least as far as my Vegan adventures go they are not just about taste but more important is all ingredients being healthy as possible. Even vegan foods can be unhealthy depending on overall ingredients. Really a great and fun idea though.
@@ctogive I am not claiming everyone is into a Plant based lifestyles for their health (though the idea anyone wouldn't want their best health is a bit baffling as I have struggled with serious health issues for years and a lot of it changed when I began eating for health). Everyone needs to do whatever they choose for themselves. And I still feel this could aid many folks make better choices for their health and longevity by using the right ingredients. Their adding some education for those who want it doesn't mean you have to choose healthier options. And, I did say...”as far as My Vegan adventures go...” You do you, and I wish only great health for us all.💕
I’m also struggling to find healthy vegan dishes on internet. Most of the vegan chefs do a lot of frying, using white flour, white sugar and other unhealthy ingredients. Of course I eat comfort food sometimes but in general I want to eat healthy yummy vegan food 🙏🏼❤️.
Submissions for Season 2 are now LIVE!
Submit Here: topvegantv.com/submit
I need this to be picked up by Netflix or something so the chefs can have actual spatulas 😭
Ha ha. I do think cause its not main stream they can be nice to each other. And the judges❤ dont j❤ust say❤ mean things.
i LOVE this show i want to be more in depth and see how the cooks put the meals together!!
Same!
Maybe we can organize a donation campaign for season 2 so it returns even better
I wish we can get a Top Vegan Recipe book..i wanna try a lot of these dishes
That is such a good idea!
Me too!
SAME!! 🤤
Me four
Yesss
Please never change the show.
I absolutely hate cooking shows because of the fake drama and all of that ..
I'm so happy and love this show and it's vegan ❤
Feedback. We need more about the cooking. How they did it. I want to see how not just the tasting.
I'm watching this straight after finishing a Top Chef episode, and I can't help but appreciate the many similarities in production -- I applaud the producers! But more than anything, I love how everyone is SO MUCH HAPPIER in this series than in Top Chef 😅
I’m vegan and I watch this and I noticed the same thing. It’s part of the lifestyle. They are all supportive of each other. It’s lovely. Hard to see anyone leave 😢
Jeff was so sweet, I wish he had the chance to show more of what he had.
agreed. i was excited to see more from him, he seemed really thoughtful about his work.
SPOILER ALERT 😢
Teresa is so charming whenever she gets called out for having a great dish, she’s so humble. Love all the contestants, and i’m seriously craving pad thai now.
Love so much about this! The production quality, the contestants (all so wonderful), and beautiful spotlight on the magic of vegan food. Nothing could be better. I want everything Teresa cooks!!
"Tell us about what we're about to inhale" - Chad
Lmaoooo!
Christian looks kind of a Patrick Bateman character with his intensity, high standards, and "I disagree with the judges" attitude, but you better believe that I'd pay him to cook my dinner!
I agree!
@@Idamaehoy He turned out to be one of the more sensitive contestants though.
@@tobynsaunders 🤣Sure did!
All the dishes look amazing! Vegan 16 1/2 years, so I know how wonderful the food is!
This is incredible! I usually have a really hard time watching traditional cooking shows, this was just a joy to watch knowing these are all delicious cruelty-free dishes ❤
i love how they are all so positive and respectful to easch other, no drama, just good vibes and amazing food❤ and i want to eat all of the dishes
This episode was better than the first. Great work!
This is already such a good show and there are more episodes to go! 😮😍🔥
I'm hooked. I need the rest of the episodes ASAP!!
Everyone really stepped it up on this episode from day 1. Everything looked and sounded amazing! And I think I need that Pad Thai recipe 😋
I agree day one kind of left me like really? That’s the dishes they came up with for American classics. I think it was perhaps nerves that first day.
This is amazing. Yall got me wanting to get back in my cooking bag ❤. I absolutely love Chad and how he chose to honor the roots of plantbased diets early on. This touched me deeply. He is such an advocate and ally!
I love that this Vegan Top Chef is happening but please turn down that annoying background music and gives us more information of ingredients used for us long time Home Vegan Chefs!! Congrats and Thank You!😍
Congrats on the show. Definitely well done. Next time better shots of the food will sell the concept better.
Finally, the vegan show I’ve been waiting for, for many, many years 😃💚🌱

Great work, everyone.
This looks amazing! I can't wait for more episodes. Keep it coming!!!!!
The nuanced midwest humor is sending me! As a fellow midwesterner I feel seen LOL
Lets please make this a trending show idea on a mainstream channel or service. SO HAPPY to see a vegan cooking show!
I’m really enjoying these episodes and series. Finally! It’s about time a show like this to be made. Hopefully a network will pick it up! but the music is distracting.
This second episode was much more entertaining than the first one. I hope enough people get to it, to see that this program needs a second season!
Great vibes, beautiful food, wonderful people, excellent production. It's nice to see the positive side of competition, people bringing out the best in each other and themselves
Please make a cookbook with all the recipes, I will totally buy it! If printing is too expensive I'd also buy a pdf
And Africa, South and Central America, and the Caribbean. Blessings and peace.
EVERYTHING looks so delicious. Wish I could try all of it, especially that Pad Thai! 😋
Same here. That pad thai looked fantastic!
The public knows the truth
So happy to see sabich! My friend’s mum made it years ago and it was so good
Can’t wait to see what the next one has for us 😮❤
Teresa's dish looked incredible, and that Pad Thai too aaaa
This is fabulous - It will 'premiere' on my wall TV in our kitchen on the meat free Mondays - No bluster, no hurry and nothing false unlike Masterchef or other shows !
I adore Teresa!!! She has such a beautiful aura and energy!!!
This show is amazing!! Thank you
This food looks so good! I wish they'd post the recipes, so more people will try vegan food!
I'm rooting for Teresa or Nowel. Their food looks amazing and they seem so nice. Also, I can't get over how pretty Shanleigh is. Her voice is so soothing.
I was so looking forward to watching this and learning some new recipes and techniques. However, we don’t get to see the cooks working on their dishes, just 5hebfinished res7lts.
Too many fast cut away shots, no clear area for each chef that viewer can identify
I'm not a vegan, but nothing stops me from learning vegan cooking.
I've been leaning more plant based for a bit more than a year.
Im so happy to have found this show! I’ve been getting more into cooking competition shows but of course its meat based! Watching this really inspires me and makes me really appreciate the plant based diet 😊
I love the selection of recipes presented here ;) Also note: protein is important for vegans as well. As the chef said at 4:40, you can get enough protein in a vegan meal, but not if you eat rice with salad... :)
I love that this is filmed in the Midwest of all places. 💜
Would be nice if you showed the dish again when announcing the top three its hard to remember and hard to find it in the video
So great to see a vegan cooking show!
I love this! Please double the length of the episodes, I want to see how the chefs are cooking these meals
Love Vegan cooking show❤❤
I wish the music didn’t constantly play though the entire episode. Slight issue though
So far the best episode all the dishes looked soooo good. I wish I could even have a little taste of each
You are so sweet! Find me in the corner with my bib on and a fork eating it all by myself... lol
this might be the most joyful cooking programme i've seen. everyone seems so happy!
More of this show please!
Theresa’s dish looks absolutely delicious! Her presentation looks like something from a restaurant menu. Making me hungry!
this cooking show is calming my mind and making me feel so good!
I'm crying for Jeff 🥺😭.
I love the show already.
i loved Jeff I’m so sad he didn’t get to show more of his cooking :(
I’m so happy to see a vegan cooking competition show! I used to watch Food Network with my Great Grandmother for hours before she passed away. And that got me into watching them.

I love seeing Columbus downtown from air views. My hometown! Wonder when Central High/COSI will be on screen?
They should explain more the recipes, it would be inspiring for us to try to make them at home!
This is just SO inspiring. Any vegan home cook who watches this will feel so giddy inside seeing it proven how amazing and delicious vegan food can be! Myself included!
I did like that Teresa won, cook aubergine is not easy and her dish looked delishhhhhhh
Love the idea of a kind of vegan masterchef.

this show is giving me SO MUCH dopamine 🥰🥰🥰
Love this show! We need more of them!! Vegan food is the BEST!!
I want to dive into each dish. Fantastic!
Thank you for showing us more of the serving and the cooking process, much better then in the first episode! I enjoyed this one a lot!
Love the show !!!! ❤❤❤❤
OMG. I'm so hungry. What a fantastic group of chefs.
love seeing vegan food taking the spotlight. go vegan 🌱
I just love Teresa! BTW the way to correctly pronounc Sabikh is with the accent on the ultimate syllable: "saBIKH". In Israel the salad is put inside the pita-pocket, but I guess there are no rules when you get to this level of cooking.
This was just an unimportant remark. I realy love Teresa, and would like a chance to eat at her restaurant one day.
Only honest and happy vegan on the kitchen forever? 😂❤
Vegan cooking competition!!! So great!! Loving it!!
I love this! ❤
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!
I wish someone had done Mexican. There's nothing like a flight of homemade salsas for freshness and a kick to a nice fatty and carby meal
Super happy a show like this exists! Only feedback, the music is too distracting!

Please supply more salt for the cooks & maybe more than one can opener if possible?
Christian shouting out his gf in the beginning ❤😂 so sweet!!
You guys need a Netflix show!
I lovee this show
Can you film more the dishes? thanks!
I need these recipes....
chef nowels food looks amazing! I want some rn🤤

Same here 🎉
