I like your posts so much I could watch it daily. Or whenever I need the motivation to keep on being frugal. Congratulations and thank you
Thanks Laura,
We have a spray bottle called a Misto. We fill it with our olive oil and pump it up to use as a spray so that we don't need to buy the spray oils. It saves us so much money since the spray oils in the grocery store are more expensive than regular bottles of oil.
Chickpeas are basic food for me. I often make a chickpeas salad with lots of finely chopped garlic, lemon juice and olive oil .Or I Cook them ,drain them then add tomatoes, garlic, herbs or coriander powder. I also add some to a veg stew .I use different spices and the dish doesn’t taste the same
Lovely hints there, thanks for sharing
Looks lovely ,also I think your white dishes are pretty!
Thanks Patty
The further away from where you are burning your wood, the slower you can cook. I warm up my soup slowly on the most right side of the woodburner. The more to the left of the cooking plate I go the warmer the plates is so the quicker it cooks. I love using the woodstove in the winter. Warmth and cooking and backing.
It’s great to cook with wood
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Your videos make me happy! And hungry!😂
Oh Jackie, how kind
I watch your channel all the time, but sometimes forget to "like".(I'll do better ) Love, love, love all your meal posts. I'm learning lots on how to be frugal with my grocery shopping and meatless meal planning. I love your cheery attitude and how much you enjoy being frugal and your willingness to pass it on to your followers. Thank you..
Thanks India for your supportive comment
I'm going to make these dishes. My daughter is a vegetarian. They look delicious
I worked for an NGO living in a refugee camp in the West Bank so falafel will always have a special place in my ❤ xxx
They are just one of the most delicious things
Love that stove, Jane. Your home looks so comfy
Thank you
I will definitely try both these recipes. They look delicious. I have just been having a frugal queen binge watch, and passing some of your posts to friends. You can teach much to many Jane!
Thanks very much for watching and commenting
now there's something I didn't know, but which makes perfect sense when you think about it - that chick peas are easier to mash when hot! We eat falafels regularly, we have them in pita bread with coleslaw. To make sure my children would at least try them when I first made them, I told them they were 'crabby patties' a la Spongebob Squarepants - was years before they worked out what they actually were , and by then they loved them :)
I often duped my kids too
I can't wait to try both of these recipes! Simple comfort food. Thank you
Thanks for watching
Strangely enough I made a similar tart for supper last night but added some smoked bacon strips too! It was delicious! I shall try your falafel recipe too! Thank you.
Everything is better with bacon
YUMMMMMMM
Jane! You need to read The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan, I think you would love it. The BBC holds a cooking contest during WWII with home cooks.
That series is on you tube and I had that book.
Hi . Loved both recipes. I love falafel in a wrap with hummus, salad and a chilli sauce. As for chickpeas I make them into a Moroccan salad with cous cous roasted and fresh vegetables sourced with ras al hangout. Will definitely try the tart as a change from a quiche. Thank you
I love chickpeas in everything
Ras El Hanout. Auto fill makes it hang out. Funny. Not criticism same thing happened to me. Falafel are magnificent.
OH MY GOODNESS! When I saw the title of this video I zoomed to watch it. I LOVE falafel but have only made it from a mix. I am so excited to see how easy it is to make from scratch and I already have all those ingredients in my pantry! The pie looks delicious!
Thanks Ruth, enjoy
Enjoying your recipes. For the spray oil, you can buy refillable oil spray bottles. Another saving over time as you just fill it with whatever oil you like.
Thanks
I make chickpea curry with spinach (frozen out of season) and coconut milk!!! In summer checkpea salade with tomatoes, red oignon, cumin powder, lemon and olive oil, yummy!!Thank you Jane for your recipes
I use frozen spinach as there’s zero waste and nothing goes bad
Forgot to say I have a metal Evo oil sprayer. A bit pricey but still going strong 6 years later. Just fill it with veg oil.
Thanks
Try using the soaked chickpeas without cooking them. I promise, you will love the falafels and safe on the energy. Just blitz all ingredients in a food processor.
Carry on, it’s your kitchen, your way. Thanks for watching
Will definitely be putting these on my list. Look delicious. I like to make a tomato and chickpea stew, tinned toms, Tom purée, onions, garlic, chickpeas, spinach, paprika, cumin and hot chilli powder. Delicious with rice, sour cream and of course grated cheese on! Always have some in the freezer. Good jacket potato topping too.
I love chickpeas in anything
i have an oil mister, I add my own oil then pump it up, when i feel the resistance build up then I just spray it out. I love it!!!
Thanks Jennifer
Thank you for the recipes. Both look tasty and simple to prepare.
Two scrummy recipes, Jane. I am going to try them both as you make them look so simple. Love your videos, thank you.
You’re welcome, simple and cheap
More great recipes. I cannot wait to try the falafels.😊
First, thanks for the Falafel recipe! I love cooking with beans, but had never cooked with chickpeas before. I finally bought a pound last week, and was looking for recipes. Second, I have a recipe for cheese strata that my mother in law gave me years ago when my hubs and I were really broke. It's just cheese, stale bread, eggs, butter and milk. It comes out puffy and souffle like. So yummy!
Hi Renate, thanks for the thanks and for sharing
Another great video thank you so much, I make a veggie curry with roasted veg and chick peas, we like leek n potato pie but I will be fry your tart. Thanks for all the hard work you both out into these vlogs……. Take care Love Wendy ♥️💋

Oh Wendy, you are such a cheer leader, thanks so very much
I wonder if you are a retired French teacher? This is a great Franglais channel, I love to imagine your daily lives in France! London
I’m a retired English teacher.
Terrific video. Going to make the tart on Sunday. Incidentally, around this time of year, I make Simon Hopkinson’s recipe for Parmesan biscuits. They are AMAZING and great as nibbles during the festive season
Thanks for the tip.
I used to make falafels all the time. I haven't made them in a while. I will be making them soon. I have whole wheat pita bread in the freezer and dried chickpeas in my pantry. Thanks for the reminder. Love your cooking videos. All your food looks delicious!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching
Just making your falafel recipe!!! Can't wait to taste these ! Also your coleslaw has changed my life ha ha !!! Thanks for the inspirational content. I'm going to try the pastry one day too ❤
That tart looks lovely , I’m going to give it a try with leeks from my veg patch !!
They are in season
You make cooking look so easy! I love your recipes. Am making the quiche today.
Thanks, I love cooking
I have the Chickpea flour cookbook. It uses chickpea flour (besan) so many ways and has great recipes for falafel and hummus. Thank you so much for sharing your kitchen with us all!
Thank you
Hi Jane and Michael, I get so excited when your videos appear in my feed. Your food always look amazing. I am going to try baking my falafel too, my kids love it, but I dont love the deep frying. Thank you for your videos, it must be hard work. Your videos encourage and inspire, and I just love your company. Lots of love. ⚘
You can cook falafels in the oven, just spray with oil. Thanks for watching
I’ve been waiting for that tart recipe and it doesn’t disappoint!! Can’t wait to try it!! Thanks for including the measurements!
You’re welcome
Yum, Jane! I am going to give these a whirl. I have not had either before, I bake many things but have never mastered pie dough hopefully this will be a turning point. Thank you for a great instructional video. We love cheese at our house but it can be pretty expensive here in Canada but a good homemade macaroni and cheese is a favorite or a slice or two with an apple.
Wow Jane I'm sure I will try to make them this week. Thank you dear ❤
You're welcome
I'm inspired to have a go at falafels now! Love leeks too and the tart sounds a great way to include them.
We love chickpeas and equally we love leeks
Hi! Those look soooo good! I'll have to try the falafels. My daughter is a vegetarian and would love them!
Thanks and they’re really easy
I'm definitely going to try these recipes.
Enjoy
Fantastic... now I'm hungry. I've never had falafels before but would love to try them. Leek, potato & cheese tart,,, how can you go wrong 😋☺️
All good hearty cheap food
I'm going to make your leek tart this weekend, will let you know how it came out, I made a meat pie with 2 small steaks, used hot water pastry, it fed us for 2 dinners and a lunch. Inflation has begun here so we will have to stretch every morsel...I make a game out of how far can I go..lol
We need to be positive and do what we can
That tart looks delicious!! I have made falafels before and really enjoy those baked instead of fried. Your salads always look tasty too Jane. Keep these videos coming!Love your channel :)
Thanks for the feedback
Jane I appreciate your hard work for another fantastic yummy video! 😊
It’s certainly hard work, thanks for watching
@@FrugalQueeninFrance Thank you!
These look delicious, I plan to try them both. Thanks Jane.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for more fabulous recipes! I have just made the falafels (first times ever!) and plan to make the leek and cheese tart next week. So inspiring x
Thanks SO much for the feedback
Hello Jane. I love making flat bread which is basically flour and water. I also make hummus with chick peas, garlic and lemon. Your falafels would go great with both of those.
I make flatbread too, with lentils
I have never had either of these recipes and I don't use chick peas so now I need to re-think some stuff here. Thank you !
Food for thought?
I'll be making both of these recipes. We love falafel but havent it at home...so we rarely eat it. I've never cooked with leek before and am so happy to do that. Odd isnt it? Every recipe I've cooked of yours has been delicious and thrifty. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Jane!
Lily, I really appreciate your feedback and support
I just had my husband dig up the last of our leeks to come in so I think your tart will be on the menu tomorrow. We can't easily keep them in the garden where I am in Canada as we get too cold over winter so I bring them in and dehydrate them for winter-summer cooking. I've got three 2 litre jars full of them this year!!! Cheesy dishes...You can't beat a good cauliflower cheese casserole. We quite like it as a main dish with a side salad.
Cauliflower cheese and crusty bread is a great meal
Excellent...yum...thank you 😁
You’re welcome
Thank you Jane! Both recipes look so easy and delicious! Perfect additions to my own frugal kitchen repertoire. I love the tart idea for our Friday family dinners 😀
Thanks, it goes a long way.
this looks yummy thank you for another great video
I have to make that tart. It looks delicious!
It’s divine, don’t skimp on the mature cheddar
Great recipes! When I make falafel I usually fry them so I’ve found that I can get away with not frying the veg separately beforehand, as long as I cut it up small. Thank you for another cheery, helpful video 😊
After baking and frying, they’re better fried.
Love your description of food! 😁
Thanks for watching
Both of these meals look sooooo delicious and nutritious!! I have never made falafels, but have always wanted to try. As far as other recipes using chickpeas, I have made a faux chicken salad using chickpeas instead of chicken. It is so yummy!
Chickpeas are so versatile
Great recipes
Thanks Jane 😊
You’re welcome
Great lunch idea
I'm giving your tart a try for this week. Looks like great comfort food.
Thanks very much
the falafel are the bomb. I love them. i never seen them made with eggs? I also like spinach falafel super yummy
I will try with spinach some time
Oh, my, have to try these.
I hope that you enjoy them
I love falafels. Haven't made them in years. Time to get back to it. The tart looks scrumptious! Must make that . Thank you for your channel, it is most enjoyable. Blessings to all
Thanks for watching and your lovely comment
Your food looks so tasty. You are truly gifted.
Thanks Dawn, I love to cook from scratch,
Love todays recipes, I am definitely going to try them both. Thank you Jane and Michael. oh! and Mary and Dolly x
I hope we see you some time soon Margaret and Goldie
Hello from Oahu Hawaii Jane! I found your channel from Frugal Jo's channel. I see that you are gluten free and prepare a lot of pastries and sauces using alternatives to regular flour. You mentioned using corn masa? Could you show the package one day so I can see what it look like and I can read the ingredients? Thank you. You inspire me to prepare meals at home and not to run out for fast food. We all could really live on a lot less than we think we can.
Look up PAN harina de mais on Google and you’ll see it
They both look wonderful, I'm going to give them a try.
Thanks Judy
Definitely going to make the tart, it looks so delicious, thanks Jane
Thanks Susie
That potato and leek tart looks amazing! Love that your recipes are also very low waste. Little packaging and everything from scratch.
Thanks, I do my best with a limited budget
You can fill up any spray with oil. So if your spray is empty you could refill it with oil of your choice. Saves money.
They look delicious:))
Thanks Jo
Gorgeous food 🍲 I will definitely try these recipes 😃
Thanks and enjoy
Looks very tasty! I think I might add a tiny bit of of cayenne and a tiny grating of nutmeg.
Carry on, it’s your food
Food looks delicious.
Thanks
Looked delicious!
They were
Lovely falafels! My favorite way to have cheese? By the slice or chunk! Call me a purist.
Hi Jane just made your both recipes I put smoked bacon in pie as well very tasty had to use leek for fafels but so lovely taste thank you for taken the time to put all your videos together x🙏🙏
I love it. Great job.
Thank you stay safe weather bad in England 🙏
I love your channel! Please more vegetarian recipes!! So good. 💜
More will come, thanks for watching
New subscriber and enjoying your videos. Both recipes look lovely. The only thing I make with chickpeas is my well liked hummus. Will be trying yours tho.
We love chickpeas, they are my favorite meat substitute
Hi, Jane, the meals look fantastic! Definitely worth trying, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Love making felafel. My recipe is very close to yours but I never add an egg. Favorite cheese dish - hmmmm - homemade pizza as it’s quick and simple yet delicious.
That tart looks divine and ive never made flafel .coliflour cheese my fave at the mo and dolphinious potatos with lots of garlic i add cheese great video great lady i realy enjoy watching your channel x
I appreciate you watching and commenting
Although I use chickpeas for curry and hummus I have never made Falafel but having watched this video I will be giving them a try.wasn’t sure when I saw the title but having seen you make then I will be having a go.
The tart was another thing I was Edgar to see that as it looked and sounded yummy so that’s top of my list to try. Both look very cheep with very few ingredients. You are such a great frugal inspiration to us all. You real seem to be able to create a yummy meal out of very little which is what we all need to learn to do especially at the moment with prices rising week on week.
We don’t have a big budget as food is expensive
It looks beautiful
They both were
Leeks are extremely expensive here, a luxury items do you think I could use spring onion instead ? thank you jane for your approach to life in a commonsense way.
You could use green onions or even green peppers, thanks for watching and commenting
Your food looks so delicious! I love falafels I had them in Israel😀
You’re so right, they are delicious
Now that looks so delicious 😋
It was!
Make cheese tuna corn peas parcels with pastry squares mix all together with cheese sauce add cheese cubes and place on pastry squares fold in half bake in oven 180 for 15_20 mins until golden
Thanks for sharing as that sounds delicious
Both options look incredibly delicious! I’m going to have a go, thanks for the video.
Thanks Sarah
All your recipes look so delicious....
Thanks, we do our best
congratulations on the channel growth! It's wonderful to see.
Thanks Gina
Looks good.I will certainley try it👍😃
You’re welcome
I make something similar but omit the pastry. A greased dish works fine.
Thanks for your feedback
Great video. Re oil spray, I know plastic degrades, but I refill my oil spray bottles a few times before recycling. One day, might get one designed for the purpose.
I shall look
Here in the UK you can buy spray sunflower or rapeseed oil at Aldi
I only saw it in Sainsburys when I visited.
I love your vegetarian recipes! So yummy. 💜
Thanks Theresa, you’re welcome
The spud pie looks great 👍. And the falafel too! Many thanks 🥰
Cheap and yummy
