Hope you enjoy the video ❤️ watch to the end for the giveaway…..

I feel like there is this new wave of people who want to leave the city and move to the countryside to connect better with nature and I am all about it!

I am 64 years young and have dedicated this year as ‘my year of being healthy’. This video has inspired me. I am moving to a city to be closer to my family (I hate the city I am in now); I am going more plant based; I can’t grow a garden where I am moving but will find a local farmers market and grow my own herbs; I will meditate more; and I will find a new book club near my new home to socialize. This is all do able and realistic. Thanks for getting me on track.

I also started learning to garden from the school of KZfaq at the beginning of 2021 and it's not an exaggeration to say that it saved my mental health. I'm really looking forward to seeing how your garden grows and what you learn and share with us x

I started a veggie garden last year and it seriously has been life changing. 🙌

Gaz, you inspire me so much. I didn't even know how to cook until 2020. Only ate microwavable meals and cold sandwiches. Watching your videos throughout the pandemic gave me a passion for cooking and discovering new recipes. You convinced me to start learning. Now, I have tried making almost all of the recipes in your cookbooks and I consider myself to be a fairly good cook at this point! I can finally treat my friends and family with fresh delicious food when they visit and whip up something from whatever I have at home. Now, just need to get on that mental health/fitness journey as well... Thank you for all you do, man.

I don't usually comment on videos but I really want to let you know, I cried watching this video. This is exactly what I want in life and you really used the right words to explain this. 26th of January is my birthday and soon after I'l move out of home. I'll start a garden like you do. You planted a seed when I start becoming vegan and I have been following your recipes on youtube ever since. As a student in culinary school I have inspired many classmates and some teachers into vegan recipes and recommended your channel to them. and some of my classmates and family members will join me with the vegan February challenge. Since I'm vegan for the animals I have been learning about sustainability too and I'm starting some projects in it and I am starting with a vegan restaurant too. Thank you Gaz, for get me on this vegan journey. You are a big inspiration to me ❤🍀

My favorite video of 2021 was the mushroom kabob because of the editing, but the nettles one win in terms of content.

You're living my dream. growing vegetables and cooking for loved ones (opening up a restaurant). From farm to table. Love from Hong Kong

This video makes me tear up. Gardening has always been a normal part of my life but when COVID hit, I started to work on an organic vegetable farm in my hometown and it made me fall in love. Never had I ever felt such passion about anything before. I was excited to wake up in the morning, to take care of all the different plants, to dig up potatoes and plant leeks. Working on the field with my hands and feet on the ground, sweating in the summer sun 10 hours a day while moving my body was some of the most freeing and the most spiritual experience I had ever made. Currently I’m going back in school (agriculture profile - you guessed it) and just as I’m watching this video, I’m out of the shower after working in my own garden the whole day. This just gives me more than happiness - the fact that you can understand and feel the excitement about growing your own plants gives me joy. Much much love from Germany!

this man inspires me to cook my own food every day even though i absolutely hate cooking. i'm so glad he's doing what he loves.

you have inspired me at the age of 78 to go vegan! I know it's never to late to turn your health and mental health around for the better! I loved the grab and go meals and also 20 minute simple meals. You are amazing and encouraging!

Gaz! Your home and garden are beautiful. I understand your love of nature and desire to be closer to the earth, growing your own food. We grow some of our own veggies too (Missouri, USA). Your videos for sticky ribs and lasagne are a couple of my faves! I have your Vegan 100 cookbook. It’s really fun watching your videos and seeing you share your food with friends, and you have a wonderful gentle sense of humor! Thanks for sharing this part of your life with the youtube community!

You're a very fortunate man! Created your own way. True inspiration everytime I watch your videos.

Gaz talking about mental health is soooo important! I’m glad you’re doing well ✨

I love this video. Managing your mental health through gardening is very powerful. It's soothing, relaxing and focuses your brain. Getting your fingers into the soil is grounding and helps connect you to nature on a fundamental level. I have been growing veg for family, friends and students for years. I loved making all the mistakes and learning, all the joys of harvesting and crying over the slugs and snails!! I hope people are inspired to grow, learn and cook from their efforts.

OMG GAZ!! I didn't know you were into boxing. I am a boxer and a martial artist myself!! I absolutely LOVE martial arts and now I love you even more hahaha

I am so inspired by you. I too am restored the best when I’m able to be in my garden. It is taking me a long time to build my soil health as my plot of land was not in good shape to begin with. As life goes, my time is not my own most of the time right now, but I enjoy the process of building my dream garden as I find time and YOUR content and wonderful spirit inspire me so much! Thank you.

You are lovely:) This year we became members of a CSA box program ( community supported agriculture) I believe that food security is one of the most pressing issues of our time so supporting my local farmers and food producers is my way of contributing to the solution to this problem. We have a small garden as well so fresh produce is an important part of our life. I literally just discovered your work so I don’t have a favorite video yet but I’m excited to dig in!! Cheers!

Quite inspirational brother! You certainly made justice to “lifestyle” video on this one! And it doesn’t hurt that you live in a constable painting.

I absolutely love your vibe and positivity. Every single time I harvest something from my garden I do the same "I grew this!!!!" Moment.

You are really inspiring. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Working out and eating organic whole foods helps alot. But it's hard to find peace in a big city and you make me think about moving to a quiet peaceful place outside the city. Thank you!

The gardening completely resonates with us. In 2020 we decided to get stuck into ours and we couldn't stay out of there, it was so enjoyable and meditative. We grew so much good food and were so grateful for the magic of how one seed could give us an abundance of food. Great video 💚

I just said yesterday to my husband that for those suffering with depression, get outside and get your hands in the ground, if you can. The whole process of growing food from seeds and then composting to new soil is so fascinating and incredibly fulfilling to me. It grounds you.

I am absolutely elated and proud for you, Gaz! I have been following your KZfaq journey for some years and loving every moment of it. Thank you for the laughs, inspirations, knowledge and all you share with us. Every time I look through your cookbooks, I feel like I am opening a present. (Thanks, Gaz’s Mom, for my copies 😂) I LOVE every recipe I have made, of yours, and happily pass your name along. I look forward to all your future videos, recipes and gardening experiences. Sending big love! ❤️

This hits different! Love everything you've done for the community. Stay blessed.

Thanks, Gaz. So inspiring.

Beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing Gaz.

Been watching your videos for a while and I love the direction you're headed. Best wishes for this year and beyond.💜

Love it! I feel the same way when I started planting and growing my own vegetables. It’s very rewarding

Best wishes for 2022! And beyond.

You are amazing! I see your light!

Hey Gaz! For 2021 -- the meal prep and your dad’s vids were my favorites.!

This is so inspirational! I've spent the last couple of weeks planning a container garden for my small back porch. The things you said about eating food you've grown really resonated with me and I hope that I will be harvesting some delicious food this summer. Also, shout out to chard! Definitely including that in my little garden. I already have your awesome cook book but good luck to folks entering the giveaway, and thank you for sharing such wonderful dishes, thoughts about life, and enthusiasm for overall health and wellness. Hope 2022 is a wonderful year for you!

Such a great one, Gaz! So happy for you!

Beautiful insight into your life...very inspiring.

I'm so happy for you Gaz! You are such a humble and grounded person. It was lovely meeting you at your book signing in Toronto. It was a very special day for me.

My favorite video in 2021 was the giant vegan kebab! I've never seen anyone that treats food with so much love and respect as Gaz. Keep going 🥰

Can’t wait for the harvest preserving video.

So glad you've had this amazing experience! Thanks for sharing your story

So happy for you Gaz, thank you for all that you contribute to the world ❤

Congrats Gaz! Great to see how your brave decisions have taken you to the place of more alignament with your values, peace and joy! Close to nature, wilderness, phisical activity and people you care! So authentic and sincere!

My favourite episode was you escaping the city and cooking welsh cawl. I think this new lifestyle will enrich your life immensely. When I started studying I had to move from living on the organic farm to living in a concrete jungle of our capital city. Now I have a job here in the city and I'm temporarily stuck here, but I miss the countryside sooo much. I think that living on the countryside is sooo beautiful and growing your own food very sustainable for the planet. 🌈My dream is to one day live in a small cottage on the beautiful piece of land.🌈 Good job Gaz for making such a bold move! I wish you'll made lots of amazing memories in Welsh countryside and have many interesting adventures in your new living area.

Inspirational stuff! Thanks for what you do!

You and your dad cooking always makes for a great video, loved watching the stuffed peppers! So glad you’ve found some peace in the country 🖤🖤🖤

My favourite video of yours in 2021 was the "Why I left London" video. I'm so happy to see you striving in the countryside, enjoying nature and growing your own vegetables! This video, too, was just such a joy to watch! Wish you all the best! ❤

Thank you so much, Gaz. I will definitely be implementing this this year.

so inspiring !! love the idea of having my own garden !

I loved the change in pace of your vids in 2021.. it's visible through them, even without any explanation from you, that you're happier in the country ! Love the outdoor cooking, especially the pan setting on fire + Doug's kitchen ! Seeing Wales in salt of the earth & now at your home is beautiful, what a fab country it is. It's clear to anyone who's switched on that becoming self sufficient will be a necessity as we continue to live through these times, so we may as well get started now and enjoy the process - it's great that you're encouraging more people to do so. I'm also intending to meet more like minded people this year🙏 Thanks for bringing your sense of humour and gentleness as always, for me that's what really sets your channel apart. Great work Gaz + Ollie, always brightens my day when you drop a vid. All the best ❤️❤️

This was incredibly inspiring to me. I can’t wait to start a garden this summer. I’ve been working on my fitness journey for the past month or so and I immediately see a benefit in my mood and outlook on the day. My boyfriend and I are saving for a little cottage and I cannot wait until I can have a flourishing garden. We both just had our 2 year anniversary of going vegan and we couldn’t feel happier. Another thing that has brought me so much joy is dedicating more time into my art and creativity. Painting, filming, and editing transport me out of the hustle of life and allow me to slow down. Thank you and your team for creating this wonderful content 🤍 My favorite video was the one you did with your friends mom cooking outdoors, I smiled the whole time.

This was very wholesome, thank you!

Amazing 👏🏻 so happy to see your joy!

“I only want to live in peace and plant potatoes and dream!" -Tove Jansson I love having a planter with fresh herbs on my small balcony. Hopefully I will plant potatoes someday! My favorite video of 2021 was the steamed buns- seriously delicious!!! Thanks for all of the the inspiring videos

So proud of you!!!! Love you!!! From a Mama Bear ❤

Amazing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this ❤️❤️

gardening has been my therapy!!

I found myself in the garden :)

This is maybe a little bit random, but i would love to see a collaboration Video with you and the Sauce Stache :D

Wonderful video and glad you found your way home.

you're a big inspiration, thank you

as you dug into the fresh, wonderful soil to look for your potatoes.. i felt as if i was watching you look for treasure, in a hunt. i want to do that too some day. it's time to get planting! thanks, Gaz.. your story is very inspiring.. stay lifted; much love!! ..the gym-time looks like much fun too!

My favorite video of yours in 2021 was literally your latest - “Chef recreates viral TikTok potato recipe” because I made them for Christmas and my family loved them!!! (Alongside your gravy but that video is from 2020:) ) Can’t wait to grow my own foods as well!!

Love this, love your videos and the beautiful scenery and your lovely gardens!

How lovely. Going back to basics is the way forward and so rewarding as you know. I am going to give it a try this year.

Gaz's garden and Gaz's gym tour was awesome . Happy new year Gaz . Due to the pandemic i started cooking . Hope to reach a stage where I can at least enjoy my own cooking . 😁

One of your most inspiring videos, great to see that you have found a lifestyle suitable for you! You have inspired me to try growing more veggies this year, i might even build a little gym in the basement 🙏😀

Omg thank you so much for promoting gardening!!!

I can't love this tour of your garden enough! I look forward to many more like it as well as how you will use the veggies!

I just finished watching your channel from beginning to end. Almost like watching a Netflix show lol What a journey! I'm not vegan but I'm eating less meat and working on it. You're definitely motivating others. I also recommended your channel to my mom who's trying to eat more vegan to help with her health issues. Keep up the great work!

stellar example of vegan lifestyle/living - wild to see how far you have got these last couple years- dope to see- #Freedom! #NextTopChef

Nice one! Thanks Gaz for the valuable tips 🙏🏻♥️

I bought your book last week... I'm excited for it to arrive 😍

The cooking videos with your dad were one of my favorite ones from 2021. Gaz you can be really proud of yourself. You've put out some of your best content in 2021. The garden and gym look amazing and the fact that you've build it with your dad is even better. I recognise what you said about being a mental health, exercise, being a hermit and isolating yourself. And cherish those friends man they're lovely people. My favorite channel hands down.

So beautiful Gaz!!! I’m loving this channel even more since the big move. I’m trying to grow my own food as well, its going..OKAAAAAAY 🤣 But I will say even just cooking a few leaves of my own kale makes me emotional lol.

YES to your garden! Awesome!

This is so beautiful. Can’t wait for your restaurant 🫶🏼

Another awesome video! ❤️❤️ Am investing my time and money in crypto now, this new price is a clear sign for new investors to come in ✅✅...

I just love watching your garden grow - I started growing things in mid-2020 and I agree that it helps with your mental state immensely.

This was a wonderful video to watch last night. Keep going strong!

You are living my dreamlife, Gaz! Good luck in your future plans!

Love your journey, this is really inspiring!

All of your videos are my faves! So much creativity 👌
