We cooked six Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB), oil-free holiday recipes from Broccoli Mum’s brand-new eBook Broccoli Mum Does the Holidays — and we're giving you our honest family taste test and review. If you’re looking for healthy vegan Christmas recipes, WFPB holiday dishes, or plant-based ideas you can make for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any festive gathering, this video will help you pick the winners.

Recipes we made & reviewed:
• Pigs in Blankets (WFPB version)
• Stuffed Squash with Rice, Cranberries & Pecans
• Beet & “Goat’s Cheese” Salad
• Beetroot Wellington
• Clementine & Ginger Fizz
• Sticky Toffee Pudding (oil-free!)

We’ll show you how each recipe turned out, what worked, what surprised us, and which ones we’d happily serve at our own family holiday dinner.

Whether you're new to whole food plant-based cooking or a long-time WFPB home cook, this video gives you real, honest feedback to help you choose the best oil-free dishes for your holiday menu.

I think you got to take into account, that her recipes are low in calories and calory density. We are wired to like calories, so those recipes have a hard time competing with traditional festive recipes. If your goal is whole foods but not low calorie, it is easier to make a decadent dish. Her plus is how creative she is and i think her recipes are good to stuff your face with veggies, but not to celebrate with the best tasting gourmet food ever.

Laughing to tears -- "it's not bad" --- but YOUR FACE said something entirely different! 🤣

Just discovered you!! I’m in Brisbane Australia. Enjoyed this video! I love Ami’s recipes, I use her rice paper in the chickpeas slurry trick for a few recipes, it’s magic. We recently made a spanikopita coil and an Asian tvp rice vermicilli like crispy dim sims, so successfully. I think with your Wellington it didn’t have the layers of rice paper and was undercooked it looked so blonde and had no crispy browning. Anyway love your stuff, doin a deep dive such inspiring content. 😊

Hi from Gdańsk, Poland! My holiday staples: barszcz, pierogies with cabbage and mushrooms, kapusta wigilijna (stewed sauerkraut with mushrooms and sometimes dried plums), i love them soooo much!

@gaBetibu 10 months ago

. . . I luvvvv Broccoli Mum's recipes . . . she's also fun to watch - and soooo creative . . . 😊

I have all of Broccoli Mums books, not because I want to loose weight but because they are mostly quick, easy and I don’t need to do any subs or alterations to the recipe (I am WFPB SOS). However, because they are quick and easy, they do not have complex flavours, they are not restaurant quality, which is what I think most of us have come to expect from a good recipe. What they are are quick, easy, healthy, filling home made dishes with no fuss. So in my opinion, they are ok, not great, not awful, but ok.

I bought this ebook when she released it. I will say there are a good amount of recipes in here I won’t even attempt because they look way too time consuming. I did make one recipe so far and actually have made it twice because I love it! It’s the braised cabbage with apples. The flavors are so good. I made it with green cabbage which I prefer over the red. I really want to try the baked seitan one. I love Ami but I love her early days far better. I have her original ebooks and still make many recipes from them. Her whole vibe has really changed which I get but I think I just really loved her first couple years on YouTube best.

At home, on the regular, I'm WFPB. When it comes to the holidays, or special occasions, I make things more indulgent. My family, who is not vegan, loves what I make. Getting them to eat anything plant based is a win. My story, I'm sticking to it. Love you all!

@sandranelson8445 10 months ago

Ive made her colliflower, banana ice cream. Just awesome. I made it in my cremi ice cream maker.

@MluvsT2010 10 months ago

Broccoli mum is a lifelong vegan, she only knows flavors she knows where as most of us Vegans used to eat meat and such so we try to recreate those things by what we remember. But I do eat wfpb, oil and gluten free and my omni husband and daughter doesn't like a lot of stuff I make because I don't need things very sweet or overly flavored.

@MegSorensenSpatz 10 months ago

I bought her ebook and I made two things, but of which I loved. I made the stuffed squash for Thanksgiving but I used acorn squash because I like it better than butternut. I also used fresh sage and thyme from my garden.
I also made the tiramisu brownies and they’re great! Love using sweet potatoes for brownies!

@CameronLasmore 10 months ago

Thank you for sharing a look into your family! I had a really messed up family situation, so it's really sweet to see your kids, and how you allow them to be themselves. Happy Holidays! -Cam

@JosieTalbot-y7f 10 months ago

If you want to try the desert again use Japanese sweet potatoes instead of the beans.

@LongGame2.0 4 days ago

If Woolie would like a good gluten free Spanakopita, I highly recommend “Monkey & Me” recipe using almond flour tortillas! It is just the best!!!!

@kefirheals7383 10 months ago

Oh no! Broccoli Mum usually has pretty good recipes on her channel. But I would not make a single one of those recipes. And I hate to say that. None of them looked or sounded appetizing. She's very bean-centric - she tries to get beans into everything (which I actually love). Her cookies made with beans are great! LOL.

@geahooijberg9459 10 months ago

I tried the ricepaper and chickpie layers for an applestrudel and it became nice, crispy and flakey. So please try it in the airfryer. I think it is a good substitude for puff pastry.
Love your recepies en your family ❤. Watching from Spain 😎🌞(but I am from the Netherlands)

@vi3472 10 months ago

I love Ami Deane too! She is daring and so creative with her recipes. I have 2 of her beautiful ebooks already. I don’t need any more ebooks or cookbooks. Yours is my favorite book, no kidding! This one seems disappointing from your review. However, I like the pigs in blanket, stuffed squash (I would use kabosha instead) and the Beetroot Wellington looks impressive. I would think adding gravy would make it better. Thanks for this video!

@franchurch7581 10 months ago

In the U.K. pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon. You can buy vegan versions in most of the supermarkets. They are served as part of the main meal, not as an appetiser.

@FrugalKiwi57 5 months ago

Love Ami .... she's just so inspiring

@DoloresVassallo 10 months ago

After years of trying to duplicate holiday dishes - I just don't. It's too stressful and because there's a preconceived notion of what it should be, we mostly set outselves up for failure. Dillion from Well Your World, does however, have a lovely Chestnut Loaf. I know you said your family likes your Loaf - but this one is just something I'd make -- IF I were making a holiday loaf. I like the idea of making some lovely festive sides that everyone likes - like cranberry chutney. Hope you all have a lovely holiday.
