PLEASE talk more about the ingredients in each dish when tasting them so this can also serve as an informational and inspirational show for non vegans.

I find it funny how there is "intense" music like regular competition shows, but all the chefs are super nice, rooting for each other and wanting everyone to do well, not the usual self aggrandizing or big egos. It's like it should be more like great British bake off vibes rather than top chef vibes.

I just died and went to heaven, thank you YT algorithm. I LOVE the competition cooking shows, but I CANNOT tolerate the lamb's brains and all the other BS anymore. So thanks for making this! 👏👏👏

[vantinamanley]

Finally, a cooking show I can watch without getting grossed out!😊

[jacquelineflores]

This is cool!!!..main stream television still refuses to give vegans a show / network just for us vegans...but thankful we've got u tube!👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👏👏

[Robroy]

As a Vegan chef; this is wonderful! As a cooking competition shows; all the cooks here are so nice to each other and sharing ingredients; not cut throat or trash talking like those other shows:)`~

100 % vegan here since happy to see this !!!

OMG!!! THANK YOU! Once upon a time, being a vegan that watched "Top Chef" was my "dirty little secret". I enjoyed the show so much that I DREAMED of the day when there would be a vegan version of the show so I wouldn't have to feel so guilty watching it. Today, one of the minor dreams in my life has finally come true! BRAVO to everyone involved in this project. It is SO well done! As a big fan of the original, I appreciate that it follows so closely to the formula of the original show including having a guest appearance to help with judging the dishes. Plus, the high production quality makes it worthy of comparison to the original. BRAVO and THANK YOU to Chef Goodwin and the Top Vegan production team. FANTASTIC JOB YOU GUYS!!! (P.S. Special thanks to YouTube for helping to bring this kind of alternative media to the masses!)

i’m halfway through watching this and this is warming my soul!!! as veganism rises in popularity and creative interpretation, i REALLY don’t want us to lose that down-to-earth (pun intended) vibe that makes plant-based culture so special. i want to see more like this! more regular degular folks w regular jobs, more kindness, more diversity!

People don't realize how easy it is to prepare PlantBasedVegan dishes. It can be both fun and rewarding.

[katsweeterly]

My dream line up would be
Nisha, Derek, Gaz, Simnet, Nadia, Turnip and Spicy ❤❤❤❤

For all of my 16 vegan years watching omnivore MasterChef always kicking out the vegans sooner or later—this is a pure delight. 🎉

Thank you from across the pond!

[carnismiscancer]

The production of this show is insane for youtube! Very high quality. Hopefully more seasons will lead to this being on tv

[terid]

I've been a vegan for 20yrs this is great to watch, thank you!💜

[judes_music]

So refreshing!!! Finally. Thanks for the show! And honestly, it's a big relief to be able to watch a cooking show without having to watch people chop up dead animal parts.

[mogwai_]

I love that the judges wanted more spice more flavor, and I loved all the mushroom dishes, and I loved that they showed contestants being nice to each other vs trying to put them against each other. Some honesty shined through

[eleciastewart]

I love how happy and positive this competitive show is.

[MrSincerity]

Not a vegan but I love this. Plus, I’m always down to reduce my meat intake. I could see me being fully plant based so this is inspiring

[BebeLush]

About time!!! We've needed this forever!

[eduardomacias]

Finally a show that does not glorify cooking corpses, not one single cooking vegan show on netflix, thank you for this show.
