I'm from NYC. Nowadays that thick of an accent is really only most prevalent within older generations of certain communities. But it seems a lot of people still expect to hear it. I travel a lot and no one ever guesses I'm from NYC. I've been asked "where's the accent?" countless times.
Nowadays there's meat substitutes that taste like the real thing. I've made vegan food for people and not said anything and people don't question it. Or try a plant based restaurant and you'd be surprised what the pros can do. As a vegan Ive actually questioned some foods. Then theres the food that's already vegan that no one thinks about.
Cooking isn't about following recipes. It's about making great tasting food. Spices do not "belong" to regions or cultures. Using spices in new ways is fantastic! Love this spice mix! Well done JJ, God love ya!
yea, ok, sure. Use any spices to accomplish a delicious meal; I agree. But you cant say that a spice does not belong to a culture, yes they do. That does not prevent you from using them however you would like, but its important to know what region spices and herbs come from.
Julian Kozłowski I like how vegans advertise their products but then they eat "meat crubles", "vegan sausages" and "vegan chicken". Are you people fucked up completely or what? This looks like religion.
EclecticFlavor. I was a little unsure about the Indian spices but I've learned cooking veggie that sometimes it works. I definitely agree he's fun. Sounds like he might be from the North East, NY or Boston. :)
HE'S GOTTA BE! lol def an east coast guy lol Im not vegan but ive been looking into trying to eat "cleaner" and im sure...lots of trial and error : ) as long as it tastes good and is healthy i say put what you want in it
I did give up eating meat for many reasons including health a couple years ago. It's been a fun journey. The few things I've felt like I missed, like Swedish meatballs, I realized were really veggie flavors and have been really easy to recreate. Trying new veggies is cool too. I really like kohlrabi which I probably never would have tried before. I started off eating clean, and then meatless Mondays...eventually I ate so little meat and felt so good from all the veggie nutrients I didn't eat it anymore. I still have some cheese because I love pizza and on the go that can be an easy thing to get out. Enjoy your journey!
To each his own. I thought he was a massive douche(saying that as a vegan). and he talks nonsense. Italians die of heart attacks cause of their diet? Nope their life expectancy is definitely better than the US one. Sea salt has nutrients in it? Horsecrap...
I like Potatoes ur wack hahaha ur probably 12 and all that ego is getting to ur head. This guy looks fairly young CONSIDERING he’s 50 and did drugs. Also wtf man I don’t even eat tofu but ur trippin if you think that shits bad somehow 😂
I see no one being upset about it being vegan... maybe upset about such an ex-con who is obviously not the smartest and also really seems to have attiutde issues be on camera and acting like he is a chef though most of what he is cooking he bought vegan. thats not a talent
guys...the way he speaks, acts..if you have followed this guy, THIS IS John! he is can be vulgar, inappropriate, swearing and all that's who he is. And this recipe isn't for the butt hurt raw organic gluten free whatever vegan (relax I'm a gf vegan myself) , he's making this to show non vegans a recipe they are familiar with that you can eat the same goods without animal products. is it the healthiest meal in the world? hell no. John knows that. he's done loads of races and iron man's for crying out loud! it's not like he eats like this all the time. he's back on munchies and with Vice because they know that people enjoy his personality. He's reaching people. People that you or me will never be able to level with. so please if you don't like the video, close the window and go check on your sprouted sunflower seeds or something, it's fine
You mean how your diet forces animals to live in cruel, small conditions so your tastebuds can enjoy some cancerous non nutritious food? But vegans are self righteous? Haha! You prove veganism even further with every stupid comment your simple brain can come up with.
asdfasdfasdf your right that all the essential vitamins and minerals can't be sourced ethically from non animal products, but I think tiff b's point was that meat too is full of essential vitamins and minerals so to call it non-nutritious is simply wrong
Why haven't i seen this guy before? Damn..I need to try this recipe. I'm eliminating dairy & meat from my diet and leaning more towards plant-based..but I gotta get over that cheese....I can make vegan cheese sauce but I been wanting to make a lasagna that's vegan with plenty flavor and texture like traditional lasagna without no animal products - thank God for RUclips vids like this!
Katy m Where? page after page of comments like yours and hardly any comments criticizing vegans? Fell free to get defensive to feel marginalized or oppressed or unique or whatever, but your bitching about literally nothing.
This guy get insulted just because he makes vegan recipe.... is this the american mentality...?? That's pretty sad, on a food chanel you must accept the fact there are recipes for everyone, not only meat eater, not only pork eater, not only vegan ...ect You're all so close-minded :/
he gets insulted because hes self righteous and pretentious and has a book called "meat is for pussies" while at the same time hes an ex criminal, fuck him
this man is just a dumb ass, he doesnt know shit. there are enough people who are eating meat from time to time and are stll perfectly healthy and dont ever get a heartattack, so youre right!
one of the best episodes of Munchies I have seen so far. gonna try this recipe next week. JJ was hilarious, which made it even more enjoyable to watch.
That was mouth watering! And what an entertaining program it is too. The only thing I would not do is to bake anything in aluminium foil. Way to go brother. High five from me.
Made this tonight and it's fricking amazing!!! Thank you for giving me a recipe so flavor packed and nutrient rich to share with my fambam. I'll definitely be making this often.
Zolina Mohamad you literally just proved my point thanks. Living to your 70s and 80s isn’t an achievement. I know people who are in there 90s and only eat meat and potatoes
I just love this channel! Stumbled upon it a few days ago and have been watching like 4-5 videos a day now. Does not matter what you are looking for in food; Munchies seems to cover all the bases. :)
So I've been slowly cutting back on meat for ethical and health reasons. I feel like most people here are on the defensive for very weird reasons. There seems to be this refusal to acknowledge the damage that the behemoth meat industries are causing (one of the main sources of global warming) as well as the health implications of overeating meat- as in massive amounts of meat with nearly every meal as well as dairy. Not to mention the looming antibiotic resistance crises that these industries are creating, paired with the un-mitigated use of chemical/hormonal therapies which bestow no benefit on the animal other than keeping it alive in the awful living conditions which we force it into. When I watch stuff like this I'm glad that he's breaking one stereotype, wherein he is vegan but very well built... but then enforcing another stereotype about vegans where they are cocky about the fact that they no longer consume animal products. I study nutrition and am on track to being a dietician. A vegan diet is inherently one which requires RIGOROUS attention to protein sources and complementary proteins (Amino acids must be consumed in tandem or they will simply be flushed from the body and not stored). Plants have protein but they RARELY have "complete" proteins which are more available to the body. Veganism is extremely difficult to maintain over the long term which is why I feel like it forms a very secular community. If you're not socializing with people who aren't vegan, then you won't be tempted to eat something with peers who might be eating animal products. This recipe is great, however I think he glazed over the cost of the ricotta substitute. ONE container is $10. So he spent $30 on cheese substitute. This is why I don't think that certain recipes should be replicated, especially ones which rely so heavily on an ingredient which is off-limits. They cost a premium and make the diet seem as if it is exclusively for people who can afford to pay for these substitutes. Sure, a cost-analysis of an average diet vs. one with substitutes could show that there's a bit of a break-even point due to the lack of meat consumption, but for people like me who already RARELY consume meat, it just seems like going with a recipe that didn't require these substitutes would be preferable.
I think the reason vegan food imitates "regular" food is most vegans came to eat that way after lifetimes of eating meat and other animal products. People miss things they used to eat. Also, it's appealing to non-vegans. I eat chicken and fish, but I enjoy going to vegan comfort food establishments and eating vegan wings/burgers/bacon etc.
1. Vegan imitation food is good for people who are transitioning to veganism as they have been eating these foods for years. Also vegan food isn't just imitation meat, it is anything not meat or dairy. 2. Vegan food is not expensive, it's actually the cheapest diet out there. Rice, potatoes, tofu, canned beans, all very cheap. Although vegan imitation food can be pricey. 3. Agreed. 4. Meat consumption does contribute to cancer, research it.
My sister and I made this for my non-vegan family last Easter and they could not stop talking about it. It is now a staple at every holiday dinner. Thanks John!
Maybe it's not that bad with them as meat or eggs, but food containing onion or garlic cannot be considered Prasadam by them (or "offered to Krishna" as they believe), google "ISKCON garlic onion" for example.
Wow the spices he used from India are the exact spices my mom uses for the beginning of every recipe and idk why I’m impressed but I am. Except my mom would let the cumin and mustard seeds splatter in the oil first before adding the spices
I love seeing vegan recipes on Munchies, ive been vegan for over a year now and sometimes I get stuck always eating potatoes, salad, and beans and rice but these recipes inspire me to get in the kitchen and try some stuff out. I'd love to see more vegan stoner recipes as well!
Regular lasagna is expensive too, that always stopped me from making it when I was a broke teen. There's ways to make this cheaper and cooking vegan at home is generally cheaper so even if you go the expensive route it's not an every day meal
@Jason Hardin yikes, im Colombian so my desire to make lasagna was just me trying to assimilate. I realize now my culture's food is amazing and can be made vegan without sacrificing taste. Sorry about your mom's lasagna.
I love this guys attitude. Clearly he's made a huge change in his life and I am currently trying to do the same. Creative and rich recipes like these are what makes being vegan enjoyable and easy. Thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot! Definitely gonna make this
Ever since I watched this video for the first time I’ve changed up my diet/lifestyle big time. I’m not a full blown vegan but I incorporate a lot of good vegan products and meals in my diet and I feel fantastic. Vegan Caesar salad is the easiest nutrient dense meal you can have everyday
He's inspiring and he's not even a doctor or nutritionist... Just a guy who changed his life and genuinely cares and he skips straight to some good food recipes... It doesn't get any better than that
Awesome video from one Italian to another! You are truly entertaining and definitely on the right track eating plant-based for optimum health. One suggestion though; try ditching the olive oil and coconut oil. These are nothing but highly processed fats that have zero nutrients. Huge contributors to those “effin’” heart attacks! Try water sautéing your veggies. You’ll never, ever miss that artery clogging oil! I would suggest you replace oils in dressings with whole natural fats like nuts and seeds.
lasagne only refers to the pasta, if you weren't a dumb Murican you would know that. If he called it lasagne al forno, the Neopolitian classic, that would be different, cause that isn't it, and most Italian Muricans fuck that up all on their own.

I seriously have never heard such a strong NY accent.
He’s from the Bronx I think their accent is thiccc
ITS ITALIAN THATS WHAT ALL US ITALIAN AMERICAN NEW YORKS SOUND LIKE
I'm from NYC. Nowadays that thick of an accent is really only most prevalent within older generations of certain communities. But it seems a lot of people still expect to hear it. I travel a lot and no one ever guesses I'm from NYC. I've been asked "where's the accent?" countless times.
he never went to school thats why
His brothers is even thicker!!!
Not a vegan but always interested in how to make different shit.
Try it for one a day a week, then if you’re liking it step it up a day at a time, worst that can happen is you learn some sick new recipes.
Nowadays there's meat substitutes that taste like the real thing. I've made vegan food for people and not said anything and people don't question it.

Josie's Journey Truth! I make vegan lasagna and season my veggies with cumin and coriander and liquid smoke. Tastes delicious!
@@funwithcupcakes923 Liquid smoke? That's brilliant!
I’m a vegetarian Italian and I support this comment.
I make vegan hummus by boiling two hot dogs in chicken broth. I don't believe in recipes man! And that's how I make hummus.
yea, ok, sure. Use any spices to accomplish a delicious meal; I agree.
But you cant say that a spice does not belong to a culture, yes they do. That does not prevent you from using them however you would like, but its important to know what region spices and herbs come from.
I just rewatched his first video on munchies yesterday and thought "fuck I need more of this".
thanks munchies

I love this whole video and the vibe he’s giving out, but I freaking >love< the way he says ”ricotta”
yo keep it up we want more vegan recipes ! :D
Munchies is really stepping up their vegan game!
And of course people are getting there panties in a twist, over a someone that makes food without killing anything. I really don't see the problem?
He murdered all that veggies though.
It's crazy right!
I see no one being upset about it being vegan... maybe upset about such an ex-con who is obviously not the smartest and also really seems to have attiutde issues be on camera and acting like he is a chef though most of what he is cooking he bought vegan. thats not a talent

You'd be doing jay a favor tbh
Raymon Rackley Yea and you would know if it's real meat. Lmao
Thanks for sharing. I was trying to find someone on the thread who had made this. I'm going to try it this weekend.
I can't wait to do the same!
"You can start rippin' it to pieces like the maniac that you are" LOL
I love that he shares all the health science behind the different ingredients. This looks so good.
really easy way to make ricotta: two packs of firm tofu + 10 oz of garlic hummus. That's it lol
And a lot cheaper!
How would you do it if you want it to be ricotta for sweet purposes?
Gross
But ricotta is creamy and has no flavor
Oohhh. Thanks!!! I've gotta write that down.
Before critizising John Joseph i recomend you to watch the longer munchies episode about his lifestyle
"Hey it's me my lifestyle is to act like a self-righteous prick on camera"
You mean how your diet forces animals to live in cruel, small conditions so your tastebuds can enjoy some cancerous non nutritious food? But vegans are self righteous? Haha! You prove veganism even further with every stupid comment your simple brain can come up with.
yeah i watched it before this one came out, and even back then this guy is so far up his own ass it just is cringe worthy.
@tiff b, could you be more specific? There are no "essential" nutrients from animal products that can't be gotten from ethical sources that I know of.
asdfasdfasdf your right that all the essential vitamins and minerals can't be sourced ethically from non animal products, but I think tiff b's point was that meat too is full of essential vitamins and minerals so to call it non-nutritious is simply wrong
Not vegan, but this looks delicious. I'd love to give it a try
Did you miss the part where he only used vegan "meat" and vegan "cheese"? Didn't see a single non-vegan ingredient in there.
Neo meant that he himself is not vegan
you cant eat it, its vegan food and you are not vegan :P
Did you try cooking some vegan meals?
Abby Gloris vegans are garbage people
comments on here are messed up
keep up the positivity. this looks delicious :)
Sad that people can be so negative all the time. It blows my mind.
Why haven't i seen this guy before? Damn..I need to try this recipe. I'm eliminating dairy & meat from my diet and leaning more towards plant-based..but I gotta get over that cheese....I can make vegan cheese sauce but I been wanting to make a lasagna that's vegan with plenty flavor and texture like traditional lasagna without no animal products - thank God for RUclips vids like this!

I seriously love this guy. such a motivational person.
Could you please include the recipe in the description?????!!!!
Charles Bronson it's on their website, just Google it
what is google?
Quite an interesting concept - Indian-esque vegan lasagne! Loved the mini-doc on this guy, very interesting character.
For gluten free people substituting the lasagna sheets with slices of eggplant tastes soooooooooo goooooood
Zucchini lasagna is pretty good too. Different from traditional lasagna but still good.

@Jason Hardin yikes, im Colombian so my desire to make lasagna was just me trying to assimilate. I realize now my culture's food is amazing and can be made vegan without sacrificing taste. Sorry about your mom's lasagna.
I love this guys attitude. Clearly he's made a huge change in his life and I am currently trying to do the same. Creative and rich recipes like these are what makes being vegan enjoyable and easy. Thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot! Definitely gonna make this
This man has changed my life, and for the past 8 years, my journey roots from his knowledge. 💯
"And yea, I eat salad MF" LOL, you tell 'em. This guy needs a cooking show!
4:12 omfg I wish I never freakin heard that.
I had to go back and listen after I stopped laughing. That was pretty amazing.
Next time you see a cute hippie dude.... think about the nut cheese he's packing
tony lmaoooo
Ever since I watched this video for the first time I’ve changed up my diet/lifestyle big time. I’m not a full blown vegan but I incorporate a lot of good vegan products and meals in my diet and I feel fantastic. Vegan Caesar salad is the easiest nutrient dense meal you can have everyday
E H nutritional yeast has a decent amount of protein. A good amount in the dressing then a dusting on top will be enough
John is THE MAN! Much love to him for all his positive influence.
I can't stop watching this. Guy sounds like Al Pacino making a big Italian dinner.
THIS GUY IS A *LEGEND*
Best vegan cook ever.
Gaz is pretty good too
I actually love him like he's giving me life😂😭👌
Yo, can we get John Joseph back for more? He makes the best episodes!
Love John Joseph! He’s amazing! Total no bullshit kinda guy and 100% for the animas and for being the best person you can be!
He's inspiring and he's not even a doctor or nutritionist... Just a guy who changed his life and genuinely cares and he skips straight to some good food recipes... It doesn't get any better than that
I love him 😂 he's so passionate about cooking.
Need more vegan videos like this! This guy is so funny ;')
Right? It shows how gullible vegans are

Looking great in his 50s! Dam
Awesome video from one Italian to another! You are truly entertaining and definitely on the right track eating plant-based for optimum health. One suggestion though; try ditching the olive oil and coconut oil. These are nothing but highly processed fats that have zero nutrients. Huge contributors to those “effin’” heart attacks! Try water sautéing your veggies. You’ll never, ever miss that artery clogging oil! I would suggest you replace oils in dressings with whole natural fats like nuts and seeds.
The moment of silence after the bite is real
Damn he’s cooking like an innovative chef that has been a chef for decades. Vegan Gordon Ramsey.
He worked in kitchen with Vegetarian Raftasafaris & Hare Krishnas for years.
Man this shit looks so fuckin good
BAD ASS !!! THAT FOOD LOOKS GREAT :) JOHN JOSEPH DOES IT ALL! --- KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JOHN, MUCH RESPECT!!!
this video popped my cherry for both munchies and cro-mags and it's still one of the best things ever.
He is by far the funniest godamn vegan chef I ever watched. Much respect.
I love this dude! What an inspirational story.
That is so true a lot of Italian suffer from heart attack cholesterol like that
Italians are the most durable people in the whole world ahead even of Japan wtf are you talking about
@@alexdelarge922 the fat Italians in America

"Dont wanna offend the Italians"......you offended the Italians when you decided to make a lasagna with Indian spices.
JSavs11 herda marco polo where you think the spices came from india/asia dumbass
He offended them when he thought making it vegan was a good idea
lasagne only refers to the pasta, if you weren't a dumb Murican you would know that. If he called it lasagne al forno, the Neopolitian classic, that would be different, cause that isn't it, and most Italian Muricans fuck that up all on their own.
LOVE your channel so much, best one I've found in YEARS!! I love this guy!
If anyone who hasn’t tried it is wondering: this is the best lasagna I’ve ever had in my entire life.
