Cute when your dad asked if the cheesecake filling was a nut paste and then started to giggle a little. He probably read the comments on the Mac and cheese video where people were pointing out how he was guessing nut paste as the base for all the mac and cheese dishes 😁🤭
Mums are tough, whenever I veganize a meal for my folks, my dad is always very impressed, I sometimes think he’s more impressed by the fact that he likes it so much, but I’ll take the credit anyway. My mum on the other hand is a little tougher in her critique, but it’s always constructive.
Sadly my parents are super tough. My father is a "macho" biker type. When I veganize something for him he always likes the taste, but doesn't end up eating it. Thinking it will make him a "soy boy" or something. Social conditioning is such a funny thing.
@@patty1247 lol my brother and father will clown on me while I cook, then when I am finished eyeball what I made until I offer them a bite. They always end up wanted to eat whatever I make, but they still tease me over the plant based substitutions I make. I think they put on an extra show to make up for the fact they can’t deny we still cook up and eat delicious food.
You cooking for your parents is probably my favorite thing. I appreciate their honesty, like it’s good but they prefer it firmer or it’s not as creamy. Your dad seemed genuinely pleased with the meal. My father wouldn’t touch half that stuff with a ten foot pole!
Yes, I liked that too. They were kind but honest as well. The scallop pasta looked utterly delicious. I had vegan scallops in a restaurant a few years ago and couldn't work out what they were made from. I thought it might be salsify but now reckon it was probably oyster mushroom. Delectable.
@@damien1781 When you're six maybe, Rachel's a grown woman who can handle critiques. They didn't rate all of her food an 11/10, did they? Have a nice day ;)
Everything looked incredible, except the ganache. That was way too lumpy/mushy. Next time, try using a vegan creamer. Heat it up on the stove for a bit until it's simmering, then pour that over chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute or two, then mix until you have a glossy, smooth ganache. If you've never tried coffee rich non-dairy creamer, I HIGHLY recommend! It is perfect for chocolate ganache and such a good milk/cream substitute!
I was thinking the same but going to suggest just doing a water-ganache. Sounds just wrong because most of us will be used to seeing water and chocolate destroying one another when mixed, but chocolatier Paul A. Young demonstrates how to easily make water-ganache to make truffles, decorate cakes etcetc.
Canned coconut milk works just fine. Just microwave it till it's hot and add chopped chocolate chunks. Stir and it's good to go. You can refrigerate it and it will set(on cakes) . No difference in taste ( I'm not vegan and I made that before... it was great)
Your parents were so supportive from the very beginning! I really want to try the scallop pasta now (especially since your mom liked it even more than Goodfellas!) This was so wholesome. Thanks for all the time put into this ^-^
I was a little surprised when you said, your parents would not feel safe going to a restaurant, what I understand a 100%, don't get me wrong!! But here in Europe going to a restaurant isn't even an option and just seems completely absurd at the moment. I sometimes forget how differently countries handle the pandemic😅 But on a more positive note :) : Great video, this pasta (and everything else actually) looks de-li-cious!😋
Yeah in Belgium they are closed. Almost a year now (with a break of a couple of months between the waves). But most of them do take-away and they get financial support from the government. For some it's not enough, but it's better than getting no help.
I'm from Germany. I meant it as a general comparison between Europe and the US. Of course it differs within Europe, I am aware of that :) And cool for you that you are able to go, here the situation doesn't allow it and that just sucks🙄
OMG RACHEL!!!! This is a lot of work! Wowwww I'm amazed!! I can't imagine doing all the dishes by myself, I can only imagine it will be a mess and the cleaning will be so tiring! You are amazing!
Pro tip: pane cotto and panna cotta are not the same thing (and they're not pronounced the same) 😅 Everything in this video looks so good! Might have to try some of these recipes.
Why is parental love so wholesome and mushy gushy, I love it!! A real testament the kind of parents they are that their daughter takes the time to do this for them even if it is for a yt video, you can tell they are a lovely family ♡
the way your mom says “rachel” reminds me of how my mom says it 🥺 it’s been a loooong pandemic and i haven’t gotten to see her much so this made me smile. ❤️
Your family is so sweet! I wish there were people in my family who enjoyed or took the time to cook as you do! It would be a fun thing to observe and try and reciprocate/learn in real time
@@marcya4428 Unless you a wizard, you can make scallops without a scallops and cheese cake without a cream cheese, and even then it would not have same nutritional value. Sorry.
This looked amazing! My one suggestion would be to microwave your chocolate in smaller increments to avoid it separating as much and becoming grainy. Try stirring every 20-30 seconds.
I'm sorry, I know it has already been said, but this was absolutely ADORABLE! I love to see people try foods unlike the ones traditionally eaten. I have been a pescatarian since I was 15, but I often make totally vegan dishes and bring them to parties. My cousins throw football bashes every Sunday and I get shunned by most everyone, but my lovely pork loving father eats every bite and asks for the recipe every time like a damn parent SHOULD! Yes this warmed my heart.
Oh my Goooood! That is one of my favourite videos so far!! You slayed the challenge and your parents looked like they enjoyed all your meals! I would have loved to have given those courses a try! Also a vegan hehe! ;)
Girl. When are you coming out with a cookbook? I love watching your cooking videos. But i really enjoy all the tips on making vegan food more flavorful. I'm not vegan but i have tried a few recipes. You make them way less intimidating. 😊
Delightful fine dining, vegan style. Lovely parents. Don't think they'd say it was good if it wasn't. I enjoy watching Connie's Rawsome Kitchen for very good vegan Italian food, this looks comparable, well done!
Wow your parents are sooo proud of you and obviously love you sooooo much. You are an inspiration to me. Very beautiful human. This food looks aaaammmmaaazzziiiinnnngggg.
Tbh I've probably watched this video at least 3 times. I've always thought a vegan lifestyle would be so limiting but then I watch this and other Goodful videos and am reminded of all the incredibly delicious things that are still available. Also, to me, cooking is like magic, so the more steps and ingredients, the more fun it is :) throw together a bunch of stuff, add heat, and presto change-o it's something totally different! see? magic ;)
Thanks! I had never heard of pane cotto before this video and I made it for dinner yesterday because I had some stale bread I didn't want to waste. It was delicious.
Rachel you are such a sweetheart to make all those dishes vegan for your parents!😍 Everything looks so great!, and your folks are super cool! 😎 I want to make my parents a vegan lasagna someday, but they are a real tough crowd if you know what I mean? Keep being awesome Rachel! ❤️
Your parents are so CUTE

Yeah, it’s super weird but I’m jealous. 😭
What's it like to have a dad?
I’m so sorry
They’re honestly so adorable. Maybe pretend to make RUclips videos with your parents and they’ll be nice while you’re “recording,” lmao.

I made my dad shepherds pie and he told me it was “edible” 🥲
LOL, tough critic
awww, keep at it! you can only improve with cooking (also, it was probably better than edible)
@Sophia Lin lol
I have a really good shepherd’s pie recipe if you want. My boyfriends eats thirds every time.
My dad said my soup was “dishwater”
I loved seeing your parents' eyes light up when eating your food.

No because your parents will lie to make you happy

If you want it to be glossy,
Then add some butter (1 tablespoon)
