This video is a solid 10/10, on every level! So proud to have been following you from the start! Watched a few times, as there are so many tips and insights. I so look forward to trying to make this. I’m yet to try and convert Jenna to like tofu… maybe this is the one! I would use this to replace ricotta used in meatballs or lasagne ☝️ love the jumper 😜 James

Love tofu ricotta and doing this myself for some years already. I totally agree its so delicious and cheap! I would recommend adding white miso instead of salt for extra umami! <3

Just finished making another batch of your carrot ginger soup -- hope I don't turn orange because I LOVE that stuff. Off to buy the ingredients for the tofu ricotta and puffy pastry pockets.

Those pockets look AMAZING! 😀What was going on with the maple syrup, out of curiosity -- just a matter of pricing?

i like blitzing with garlic for emulsifying into a smoother/creamier mixture; nooch and lactic acid are non-negotiable for this
