So I WAS going to make the mac & cheese from the cookbook for supper tonight, and then...you posted this. Pizza mac & cheese it shall be (after a trip to the grocery store for a few more supplies)! So glad you're back!
When I was at Costco last week, *I SAW YOUR BOOK* !!! You know you’ve made it big when your cook book is in Costco!! Haha. I will definitely be buying it this Saturday when I go back. 🌯🌮🍕🥟🥡🍴
Beautiful new kitchen! I bet it feels like a whole new, revitalized energy for you. You’ve been through a lot of changes this year, Lauren. Congratulations on all your successes! I hope you have some time to enjoy it all now. 😊💚
LAURENNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!! OkSO. This vid is playing as I write this AND it is only because you literally just sang “leave your comment below, I always read theemmmm” and I became determined to FINALLY figure out how to comment on RUclips and here we are!!!! First I just wanna say you’re amazing. Foolproof, literally flawless. I’ve even gotten my boyfriend to say “oh well if it was a Lauren Toyota recipe, I wouldn’t have questioned it.” Having started our transition to the Vegan lifestyle in Jan, your chatelaine vegan Cesar Salad video was literally the first vegan food video I ever watched, the first vegan recreation I’ve ever recreated and literally the ONLY persons recipes that worked in every way. You always have the best balance of flavours and really take all my concerns into consideration and what’s more: I know you have tested and measured everything for quality assurance and let me tell you it does not go unnoticed!!!!!! I’ve tried dozens of other vegan recipes that I’ve seen from blogs, vlogs, Facebook, insta etc and really NONE, except for those by the minimalist baker, (who I found out that you worked with!!! Ahaha FIGURES!!!!!) have ever really measured up. not only in terms of flavour but balance and nutrition. I mean I tried these vegan brownies with 2 cups of sugar and then made your brownies out of the hot for food cookbook (which I bought the eBook of before you even went on tour!!!!!!) and seriously..... I’m never going back, I’m never trusting anyone else. You get high volumes of nutrients in everything so I don’t even feel like I’m eating junk food (there’s freaking flax in the brownies!!!!) AND THE TASTE IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!! You are tried and true and it’s insane how lucky I got landing upon your channel!!! I have since, bought your book and am following you on all your social media sites and channels!!!! Even some of your clothing and skin care lines instas...I’m so happy I was able to get everything I’ve ever wanted to say to you out, knowing that you are actually going to read this! Congratulations Lauren! On all of your successes, you truly and wonderfully deserve it!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you sooo so sooooo much for making this incredible lifestyle transition that was supposed to be daunting, difficult and presumably, short lived, in fact: EASY, ENJOYABLE, AFFORDABLE, NUTRITIOUS and most importantly, DELICIOUS!!!!! I will never go back to a non vegan lifestyle and I seriously have you to thank. Thanks again and I hope we meet someday!
you are so kind! and happy you figured out how to comment haha :D ALSO stoked you are enjoying the vegan journey and love the recipes. MEANS A LOT!! LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU AND BF xo
This is such a sweet thing to read. I started my transition to becoming vegan in Jan, too! Let me just say that I wholeheartedly agree with your entire comment! Vegan food has really taken me by surprise. And you can never go wrong with anything from hot for food! Even when you're eating "unhealthy" food, you're still getting nutrients in some way. Talk about a win-win! Plus, with all the resources available you can literally veganize anything nowadays. Now, I just got to get my picky boyfriend to try something when I see him again, haha. Congrats on going vegan and best of luck in all of your future endeavors!
I’m not even vegan and I’ve been obsessed with your channel and videos for awhile now, I’ve never made any recipes, but yours give me lots of inspo... 🙃
on a related note: I'm visiting Barcelona next month. Where can I grab something vegan to eat? I visited last summer and mostly ate olives and mushrooms haha :D
Hi! I suggest Väcka (best vegan burguers and cheese!), Vegetart (best tortilla de patatas and super yummy and cheap food), Dolce Pizza y los veganos (vegan original pizzas, my favorite is the "gourmet") and La Besneta for something sweet: cookies, cakes and desserts ^_- Enjoy Barcelona!
Yes! I was just on your Instagram feed and you said you were posting this tomorrow and then I got a notification you just posted it! I literally screamed!
Mac and cheese used to be my fav food in the whole world and I haven't had it since I went vegan 2 years ago. I needed this. Lauren always out here doing important work. ✊
Got my copy at Coles this week. I'm a long time watcher and a longer time plant based, bleeding heart eater. Big thanks to you for this terrific cookbook!
Well she bought the other house with John. And they aren’t together anymore. I wouldn’t want to stay in a home I built together from the ground up with my previous partner...
Awww, glad to see your gorgeous face again! Love the new kitchen! You had me at Mac and Cheese… But Thai Red Curry Mac and Cheese? Pizza Mac and cheese?! Yes, I fell over.
Glad you are back! How do you like your new place. Are you gonna do a tour? How is snickles feeling in your new place? Mac and cheeses look great. Love you.
She's back! Gotta say, I recently switched apts & went from gas to a glass top electric stove like yours. Thought I'd hate it but nope! It works great & the clean up was life changing LOL 💚
You are definitely the queen of sauces. I tried your caesar sauce yesterday and it was amazing and today I tried the pizza mac n cheese and it was also amazing. A lot of flavours packed into your sauces. Thank you so much for sharing this. Makes eating a plant based diet so easy x
I made your see food soup in your cookbook and it was simply AMAZING. My boyfriend and his whole omni family loved it. It was seriously so so so good. Can't wait to try more of your recipes.
You are so talented! You’re recipes are awesome and just what I want! I am bing watching, I don’t know how many I’ve watched so far, but who’s counting, lol! Thank you!
Genius!! My faves pasta and Thai curry all in one beautimas dish can't wait to try your the best Lauren, I went vegan at 40 and you've made my journey an adventure!! 💚 from Australia
Anyone who is a fan, knew a move was in order. You are causing quite the wonderful stir in vegan eats, so glad you got the chance to feel the love that many thought was impossible being vegan...greatest feeling in the world is turning people on to clean food...yes! We love you too!
Oh! I also want to add that the first thing I made from your WONDERFUL cookbook was the Mac and cheese 😂 it was absolutely amazing!!!!! My favorite part was the mushroom bacon, what a nice touch! Thank you Lauren for making a cookbook!!
Hey Lauren I made those double chocolate cookies. They were the only vegan cookies I have ever got to turn out. (I usually end up eating the dough while sobbing.) I wanted to give you a huge thank you. I thought about taking pics and twitting about it but then I remembered I am lazy.
Omg these both look amazing.!!!! I love Thai so that vegan Mac n’ cheese Thai style omg id so make that. And I would make that pizza version too. Best of both worlds!! I got to say though I don’t think I’ve seen vegan pepperoni.
I haven't seen a video with the hubby in awhile. I remember her saying he was going to do more behind the scenes, but they're so silly together that it'd be nice to see him every once and awhile. Like, the competition ones? Just a thought. You're amazing! Keep doing yo thang!
I am in love with this pizza mac & cheese! I have to admit that I was skeptical at first, but it turned out phenomenal. It is one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten and really smells and tastes like pizza. Dare I say "better than pizza"? Thanks Lauren, greetings from the Netherlands!
Have you been reading my mind? I've been wanting a pasta recipe for my extra yves pepperoni, I just didn't know what to do, this is way better than anything I would have come up with, thanks, glad your tour went well and you're back making videos! :D thanks for sharing
Looks so delicious! Also, I made your original mac n cheese recipe that's on your blog for thanksgiving one year and everybody thought it tasted like tostino pizza rolls (which is a good thing) hahah
There's a vegan club on my college campus where we share recipes, great restaurant, vegan fast food hacks and so on. I told them last week that I get most of my recipes from your RUclips channel, and when we came back this week they were telling me about all the recipes that they want to try and how everything looks like something they can cook to keep them running during midterms. (Some said they want to make your cookies and bring them in to share, so thank you for that!)
Both of these look divine but the Thai Red Curry Mac & Cheese is an angle I have not seen before and I'm really keen to try that - I might add some red pepper and broccolini too for extra veg 😍 thank you for sharing!
Yes I remember as well! It was a potluck in LA I believe? I remember trying to recreate my own after seeing that! Can't wait to try this recipe though :)
You had me at "whole can of coconut milk" *yessssssssss*
Lauren just did her OWN vegan challenge. Against HERSELF! I'm tryna tell you, she a badazz!! bow down food network!
YOU GET ME ;D
Lauren vs Lauren challenge
DOI! hahahaa ;)
I love how you ate all the cilantro in one bite
LOVE IT !
So I WAS going to make the mac & cheese from the cookbook for supper tonight, and then...you posted this. Pizza mac & cheese it shall be (after a trip to the grocery store for a few more supplies)! So glad you're back!

Love the new kitchen glad your back - As a mom mac and cheese recipes are gold and you just made my week!
Both look so freaking good! I would've never thought that all of those flavors could exist!
I feel a little silly because I'm actually sad that you've changed apartments. I mean, why did i get so attacted to someone else's apartmant? Ha
Rebecca Aodhagain I also feel like that, but I'm also sad for you, Lauren for losing your dream kitchen (like your hot water taps lol)
It all happens for a reason! She'll get it back and then some!
me too, lol it's not as modern :(
it is sad that she left her house, the kitchen was perfect for youtube
Well she bought the other house with John. And they aren’t together anymore. I wouldn’t want to stay in a home I built together from the ground up with my previous partner...
glad you're back! I'm loving the cookbook!
Awww, glad to see your gorgeous face again! Love the new kitchen! You had me at Mac and Cheese… But Thai Red Curry Mac and Cheese? Pizza Mac and cheese?! Yes, I fell over.

The pizza one 😻😻😻😻
Love the new kitchen! Cant wait to try both these recipes
I am in love with this pizza mac & cheese! I have to admit that I was skeptical at first, but it turned out phenomenal. It is one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten and really smells and tastes like pizza. Dare I say "better than pizza"? Thanks Lauren, greetings from the Netherlands!
Both look great! I haven't bought new cookbook in forever, but def considering yours!
I love her personality. I love how she’s not so fake happy (paramore reference loll) and too fake nice like some of these RUclips chefs are
I've made the mac n cheese (multiple times), the lasagna soup, and the loaded fries!
I love Thai basil as well... I could never find it at the store either, so i started growing it in my areogarden!!!
I’m making that pizza Mac and cheese for my birthday party! Perfect perfect timing thank you :)
Lauren! Any of the fruit and veggie markets on bloor between christie and bathurst will have thai basil!
Can't wait to try these. I grow my own Thai Basil because I can't find it either. Loving the new kitchen!!
Love the new background!!! Welcome back!
I made them both. Many times. Sooo good!
I use sometimes tofu that I sauteed instead using faux chicken. Still amazing!
NICE! thanks so much for sharing your thoughts
I think your new kitchen is beautiful!!!
Yayy! So happy to see a new recipe!
Have you been reading my mind? I've been wanting a pasta recipe for my extra yves pepperoni, I just didn't know what to do, this is way better than anything I would have come up with, thanks, glad your tour went well and you're back making videos! :D thanks for sharing
Lauren, you're a genius. Seriously.
Guess what I’m holding?! Your cookbook! I can’t wait to use it - thank you so much Lauren! ☺️❤️💓
YUSSSS!
Dang guuurrlll!! This looks AMAZING! That Thai one looks so delicious!! Very inspiring... keep it up! :)
It's amazing what light and camera settings can do... you look so different in chatelaine's videos!
My sister and I love your recipes and will def try these! :)

Looks so delicious! Also, I made your original mac n cheese recipe that's on your blog for thanksgiving one year and everybody thought it tasted like tostino pizza rolls (which is a good thing) hahah

Love you and the recipes (these are no news) but today I also love your blouse!!
If these are anything like the bacon mac and cheese they are gonna be FREAKING AMAZING
Ps! Why do all your kitchens look amazing! Im always so jealous.
I love your energy in this vid
Both of these look divine but the Thai Red Curry Mac & Cheese is an angle I have not seen before and I'm really keen to try that - I might add some red pepper and broccolini too for extra veg 😍 thank you for sharing!
hope you like it!
I remember when you tried red curry mac and cheese in one of your vlogs and it blew your mind... can't wait to try it 😉
YESSSS you are inside ;)
Yes I remember as well! It was a potluck in LA I believe? I remember trying to recreate my own after seeing that! Can't wait to try this recipe though :)
I was so excited about the food that i didn't even notice the new kitchen at first, haha.
