as a weird mushroom person, im so happy to see lion's mane in a video. ive been trying and failing to grow some myself cuz it's not very available in shops around here. it works great in a lot of vegan things, from steak to nuggies.
im also super envious, ive been looking for chicken of the woods for ages and have never managed to find any. the closest ive found is dryad's saddle, which is tougher and not as tasty. i think it still works as like, small strips of chicken breast like you'd put in a sandwich, though.

Adam's not wrong about the taste benefits of the dried mushrooms, but they do really increase the price too (at least here in the UK) An imperfect but really good alternative might be mushroom ketchup. The Geo Watkins brand is the most famous and has the same consistency as Worcestershire sauce, but has the advantage (for some) of being vegan. It's basically umami in a bottle. Additionally, even a spoonful of marmite would help and give that umami punch. I think both work better than soy sauce here.

Whatever goes on in the rest of the dish, sage and mushroom is one of the best flavour combinations out there
Bonus points add some freshly ground nutmeg and you're off to the races
I love to make a sage sausage (called Lincolnshire sausage here, think it's pretty similar to a sage-y american breakfast sausage, mushroom and cream pasta, with a little fresh sage and nutmeg

Really love your recipes Adam - you were a big reason why I was able to improve my cooking. Never liked using recipes, because it was stressing me out, but your approach of explaining what every ingredient and technique does in the food and how it could be altered and replaced works extremely well for me.
Also, really love the food science videos and the podcast.

I'm so glad that someone else uses the chicken of the woods. For those curious folks, the mushroom's name is Laetiporus sulphureus and it is found in Europe and North America. It grows on several deciduous tree species and the specific type of tree affects the taste of the mushroom. You can find it usually from May till October.

gnocchi should be made with old potatoes cooked whole with skin on, so that they do not contain a lot of water when you mash them. This in turn makes them need way less flour than in this recipe, like 30g of flour per 100g of (raw) potatoes. They will be much more fluffy and less firm, the more flour the harder they get.

Adam, I have a secret! I am a huge mushroom lover. I also have 2 dehydrators. So I dry mushrooms myself, and save a ton of money. I also give them, gift-wrapped and all, to friends who like to cook. Mushrooms are a gift from all the gods who've ever existed. And now and then, they're even a gift from me! HAHAHAHA

Adam you mention not needing to eat meat with every meal and you regularly post videos of just vegetable dishes. Can I ask: as someone like yourself who is a bodybuilding fan and muscular, how do you get your protein in? Do you just use vegan protein powder to supplement days you aren't eating meat?

Remember that video a while back where you talked about how recipe videos with pork do significantly less numbers than others, possibly due to religious dietary restrictions?
Does that same effect happen with mushrooms? Because whenever I see a video with mushrooms are an ingredient, I'm out.

Adam, you should definitely try a trick i learned at culinary school: Instant mash powder gnocchi. Sounds weird, but it makes delicious quick gnocchi that taste like the roasted potato kind. Turns a semi annoying dumpling into only a bit more work than normal fresh pasta.

Loving the vegetarian recipes, Adam. I'm not vegetarian myself, but my wife is, and being the primary home cook I have been forced to be creative to create vegetarian home meals for the both of us and these recipe ideas really help me build that out. Thank you!

Your gnocchi need a bit of work tbh, I've got that incredible recipe from my grandma and basically the secret is as little flour as possible. All it does is dilute the potatoes flavor.
If you're interested I can search forbthe details and post it

so basically i noticed that what 1080p premium does is totally destroy the 1080p video and then charges you to bring the quality back. i'd encourage any creator to steer clear from this, it is basically the worst possible option for earning money.

I've never really been into mushrooms, usually its a textural thing for me so it might just be a skill issue. with that said, i think i might try this but swapping the mushrooms for the meat that they'd otherwise be substituting.

Lionsmane mushrooms are really cool. Im not vegan but i eat a 70/30 veg to meat diet and been exploring with more mushroom techniques; check out the wicked kitchen pressed mushroom technique, I tried it and the results are pretty wild

I love how you focus on economy of dirty dishes. I also really like how many vegetarian/vegan options you've been putting out lately. I have no dietary restrictions, but most Americans could stand to eat a little less meat.

Looks great, will definitely make soon. Would love a video breaking down cajun-style seafood boils with potatoes and veggies at home, I'd be interested in seeing how you would adapt it to smaller home cooking portions.

dear pan and pot manufacturers. I know it costs MORE, but GET RID OF THAT RIVET on the inside AND the outside. they're a pain in the ass to wash, and are food goop magnets! I'd pay more to NOT worry about that!

This recipe is a great example of why I love Adam's recipes, delicious, doesn't take a crazy amount of skill, sustainable, healthy and doesn't create a mess in the kitchen to clean up after. Thanks!
