My Virgin Kitchen is a KZfaq cooking channel created when I wanted to teach myself how to cook and create a video diary of the journey / mrbarrylewis . I have never had a professional lesson & am just your every day chap attempting recipes to inspire you guys to try too. My Wife Becky (aka Mrs Barry) now joins in on the channel too, we upload 2 recipe videos per week, but some fun is had too on Sunday when it is our Funday where anything goes....including giant foods, mini foods, taste testing foods sent from around the World, kitchen gadget testing and many more. Any requests for recipes / cool stuff you've seen let us know! I try my best to reply to as many comments as possible, but it is hard to as we are busy working on the next video, but please interact with eachother and be respectful :-) #barrylewis

My Virgin Kitchen i found out that the reason left handed people can't cut bread straight is because bread knives are made so the serated part curves with how a right handed persons wrist curves so its straight. left handed people curve the other way so we go a bit squint. hope that helps and makes sense

You pretty much can't make tasty vegan food unless you know how to/dare to season your food. I actually like the consistency of textured soy (the one in bite-sized chunks), and if it's boiled in vegetable stock and then stir fried with soy sauce and ground paprika, chili and pepper it really does taste nice.

yngv1 I think that counts for some foods like unseasoned tofu or so. But most vegans eat foods like potatoes, rice, pasta, vegetables etc. And these if anything only need a bit of salt and pepper to taste good. But you have the same with meat or milk. Most people wouldn't like the taste of unsaltened unseasoned, raw meat or unprocessed milk. It's all a matter of processing foods.

No he didn't, you just don't understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan. Vegetarians don't eat meat. Vegans don't eat any animal products. Cheese is made from milk which is an animal product, so yes, you would have to specifically ask if they have vegan cheese to avoid buying cheese that was made from milk. www.organicauthority.com/foodie-buzz/what-is-vegan-cheese-made-of.html

Soak tofu in coconut milk! My partner just did that the other day and it adds this amazing coconut flavor to tofu, especially in something like a Thai stirfry. Another good way to get water out of tofu is to freeze it. Unfortunately afterwards it does want to crumble but you can cut it into chunks after its defrosted.

Barry for your next video on vegan products try shopping on Ocado, im vegan, and i dont really eat all that stuff you tasted in todays video apart from the violife cheese really. Frys producs, vegan quorn products, sainsburys meat free mince and meat free meatballs are great products. The violife cheddar is an even better product for cheese. Normal wraps are vegan as well, just because something isnt labelled "vegan" doesnt mean it isnt, alot of supermarket stuff will just say vegetarian when it comes to breads etc, you just need to check the ingredients.

I'm not vegan but I've been considering converting over. What I've realized is I like the mixture of spices or the sauce more than the meat. I just made tofu tacos and cauliflower buffalo "wings" and I don't crave tacos or wings anymore. Even substituting one meal with a vegan option is beneficial. Once you get it right, you'd want to keep experimenting and perfecting your craft. It's sparked my interest in cooking again

True you can by vegan and not eat substitutes. I personally love veggie and vegan substitutes to meat. I have never eaten meat so I do not associate any of the products with meat. They don't have to be expensive, in fact the last time I went to morrisons my vegan chicken pieces were cheaper than real chicken pieces. Also making your own things like seitan doesn't have to be pricey at all. Veggie and vegan products can be really helpful for people transitioning or people who miss the flavour but don't want to be responsible for the suffering. The ability to make plant-based food taste like meat when no animal has to be harmed surely proves to staunch meat eaters that there is not need for the animal suffering. A lot of veggies and vegans still crave meat, but do not want to eat it due to the animals suffering, therefore they can satiate their craving with substitutes then what is the harm. I am very stubborn so when people tell me that as a vegan I cannot eat something or cannot make traditional recipes I like to be able to prove that I can. I made an amazing "chicken" "bacon" and mushroom pie the other day and my meat eaters friends couldn't tell the difference. Substitutes just add some variety and an extra depth of flavour to a meal, by no means do you have to eat them all the time, but they taste good to most people and no animals are harmed so whats the problem.

the thing about the eggs is that you can use them for baking, rather than the other methods of egg replacements And a lot of things require eggs to bake properly, so these are super useful :) as far as using them for scrambled egg and omlettes, I'm not sure, but it doesn't harm anyone so why not :)

This is very true. And protein wise you'd be okay too if you kept an eye on protein intake, which sources to use and protein combining. I just got done making a list of protein sources for my superior at work who wants to put on muscle (she's undermuscled) on her already vegetarian diet and she wants to transition to vegan down the road. Some vegan protein sources out perform animal sources when it comes to how many grams of protein per 100gr of product there is. And this is not counting substitutes and protein powders.

Tofu and (wheat gluten), or seitan, are quite versatile and can actually be quite tasty as long as it's cooked with the right ingredients/seasonings. You should try them in some Asian recipes (kind of like how you used Hoisin sauce)! I'm nowhere near vegan myself but Asian vegan food is quite delicious. I'm from a Vietnamese household (although living in Canada) and my mom cooks vegan a few times each year; traditions dictate that we are supposed to eat vegetarian (we don't really make a distinction between vegan and vegetarian in our culture by the way) on some days for various celebrations. I always get a bit excited when she makes vegetarian dishes or when she brings back some dishes she bought from the Buddhist temple after whatever celebration she was there for.

Gelatin can be made from melted down cartilages and not just hooves. Gives it a different texture and consistency (not so grainy). You can also get vegan gelatin made from seaweed called agar agar. You cannot use the same amount of agar agar as you do normal gelatine. you actually use less agar agar so it does not set like a rock and becomes really dense.

I didn't know about the carrot wraps, that's pretty cool! They do vegan regular wheat wraps, but obviously that doesn't work if you don't eat bread. The vegan flavour is likely nutritional yeast, as people say that has a cheesey flavour to it, and it's quite good for you :) For the people who think this is a typical vegan diet, try thinking of this along the same lines as the tasting foreign food videos. They are novelty things, exciting things, they aren't the staple of the country that they come from. Same applies here :)

I don't know if they have the Gardein brand there, but they have a lot of really good vegan substitutes if you're looking for something that is meat-like for next taste test! Also, for both of those wraps, you're suppose to let them set for a few minutes after making your roll, or warm them a few seconds before using them. It softens them up and gets rid of the "postage-stamp" quality =)

Seitan (mock duck) is amazing as a meat substitute in stir friys.

It also makes for great "chicken" nuggets!

Late to the party but the best place in the UK for a good range of vegan stuff would be Holland and Barrett or specialist stores. Other than online of course. Some suggestions if you fancied doing another taste test: Anything from Linda McCartney - (Especially the pulled pork burgers or the sausages) ASDA's popcorn chicken style balls V'bites (duck pieces, chicken strips and mini sausages are particularly nice) Sheese (as someone not too fond of cheese you'd probably prefer the original which is like philadelphia) Fry's mock meats - they do quite a big range It would also be really interesting if you could get your hands on some of the brands that are currently only widely available in the US like Gardein, Beyond Meat and Field Roast.

Also im gluten and dairy free for health reasons so i love new kinds of foods! I love the vegan cheese! To me it taste like butter and i never eat it unmelted. The tofu in a can looks like tofu skin which is very popular in chinese dishes :) It's a lot nicer in a oyster sauce kind of stew or marinated savoury saucy dishes. The gluten is also really popular in chinese dishes in gravy like stir fry, i use to love it so much when i was younger. That steak just did not even look like steak lol I've got some imitation pork in the fridge i'm not rushing to try lol I think it's awesome there's so many vegan options out there now and hopefully they can start making most of them gluten and soy free :D

You should have tried to make 'pulled pork' jackfruit, it's very good and I've heard from a lot of meat eaters that it tastes very accurate!

I find it to be very very good. Hubs couldn't tell it wasnt pork. If it wasnt so expensive here I'd have it for dinner a couple times a month or made into a shredded taco filling with more if a tex mex sauce.

if you try this again I would suggest maybe trying a french toast using the egg substitute you had, and also pulled "pork" jackfruit. jackfruit has a really meaty texture and flavor and with a bit of BBQ sauce it does really immate meat well.

I'm not about to scroll through all the comments so this may have already been pointed out. The reason the mock duck and the vegan steak were so similar is that they are most likely seitan aka wheat gluten. It takes flavors very well and is my favorite meat substitute when I'm having to make something for vegan friends. I'm a dedicated omnivore personally.

Daehawk to be fair they are probably quite healthy. the stuff barry had in this video is probably some of the extreme stuff many vegans might not eat. ive had some of the linda mccartney range which i think is vegan and that was ok. its at least vegetarian if not vegan

you should try making cauliflower 'chicken' wings. As a vegan myself who for forty years prior ate meat etc. this is one of my favorites. Even made it for meat eaters for fourth of July and left the party with my empty bowls.

I've tried that brand of vegan egg before. I wasn't a fan of the flavor or texture of it alone, however baking with it was nice. It had to much of the black salt in it the mixture, so it had to much of a sulfur flavor. That's just my opinion though.

Using fake meat definitely takes more effort, time, and creativity in the kitchen. I rarely use it just because vegetables are so much easier to work with and you can do a lot of trickery with them. Buffalo wings made from cauliflower?? SO freakin good!

Yeah I found cold tofu is pretty bad, had tofu in a couple dishes in japan, the cold stuff was pretty bad but it was also a different kind, it was that sort fo brown brazed style chunks, basically just seemed like a sort of sponge with slightly sweet offputting water, regular old tofu in some soup was much better though still pretty meh overall.

As a life long vegetarian I've never eaten a fake meat substitute (like the duck or steak, or fake egg now I'm vegan) and obviously wouldn't eat any of them without heating them up and flavouring them- it was fun to see your reactions but I hope you remember that a potato with baked beans, followed by party rings, is a more average vegan meal!

Hey you should try and make your own gluten also known as Seitan, what you do is mix wheat flour with water, try and find a flour with 20-30% protein, then you wash out all the starch from the dough by putting it in cold water a couple of times until the water stops becoming white, you want to get rid of all the starch, you should end up with a yellow and very stringy dough, then you can slow cook it on low heat in a broth for about 2 hours. End result should be something like a christmas ham.

You need some spicy falafel balls Barry. They're so good! Even the frozen ones you can get are amazing! They work great in wraps and pita bread! And by themselves :) I also like teriyaki chicken meatballs, however that's not vegan or vegetarian. But I thought you might like it, especially with some Sriracha.

Here in the States, there's a chain of grocery stores called Trader Joe's that sells a frozen vegan tikka masala. I'm not vegan nor vegetarian, but I think it's actually really good for being meatless (even the "meat" is actually alright).
