- Hi friends it's Sam and today I'm gonna
do something a little bit different,
a little bit off the usual path.
No recipes today at all, instead I'm gonna do a kitchen tour
and show you what's in my fridge and pantry.
Now, I asked you guys what you wanted to see
other than a recipe type video
and this is something that was requested
over and over and over again.
And so here it is, My Kitchen Tour, and Pantry, and Fridge.
No food is being had today.
I mean we're gonna look at a lot of food
but we're not gonna eat or at least I'm not
gonna eat it in front of you on camera.
So from the very first day that I actually posted a
YouTube video I got asked if my kitchen was a set
or if it was actually my kitchen.
So this kitchen is not a set, this is my real kitchen.
And the thing is you've seen pretty much all of it already.
It's right here behind me.
Here it is!
There really isn't that much this way.
I'll show you this way but there's not that much,
I don't think you're gonna get that excited.
Now, I put all of my love, all of my money,
all of my heart into my kitchen
because in my opinion the kitchen is the heart of the home.
It's where I entertain, it's where I cook,
it's my full-time business.
I work from my kitchen every single day
and so I knew it was really important to me.
Okay, now without further adieu
let's begin the kitchen tour.
Yeah!
Now when I got this place I was able to renovate it
and so I designed this kitchen myself and I love it.
Oh hey, this is the other side of my kitchen.
I told you it's not very exciting.
Yup, my kitchen is pretty one-sided.
Now, the main reason why my kitchen is so one-sided
and why all the goods are over here
and there's not really much over there
is that I grew up sitting at the kitchen counter,
watching my parents cook and that's
how I learned how to cook.
That's how I fell in love with cooking.
And so when I designed this kitchen,
I really wanted to have the same feel.
I love inviting friends over and having them
sit at the counter and I'll cook them food
and we'll talk about food.
I'll serve them food right here at the counter.
This is my counter but it's also my dining room table.
I don't have anywhere else to eat food
so this is where it lives.
Let's take a look around.
Let's look at what's in my pantry and fridge.
Woo!
Here's my fridge, isn't it beautiful?
I love it.
(laughter)
This fridge is by Big Chill,
not sponsored at all by the way.
I wish it was but it's not.
And it is in the color Jadeite Green
and I love it so much.
I have a 16 year old car but I have
a new shiny fridge and stove and they're my babies.
They're so much more important to me.
Don't tell Fred, that's my car's name.
So let's take a look inside.
Okay, freezer first since it's on top.
Oh, nice!
It's a freezer full of frozen food.
That's what it is, kind of a mess.
But what can you do?
So in here let's see.
I have corn bread, which is my cornbread recipe,
some frozen for later for some deliciousness.
Some vegan naan, coffee, a couple of veggie dogs,
edamame, puff pastry, some shelled edamame,
I love those as a snack.
Corn, I think that's more edamame.
Apparently I'm going through an edamame phase.
Who knew?
And some other frozen breads, that's what's there.
In the door here I have mixed frozen berries
which I use for smoothies.
This is not dog food, that's flax.
Some frozen tumeric which I also use for smoothies
and kale which I also use for smoothies.
Some chia seeds, some hot peppers and tofu up here.
So that's what's in my freezer.
Freezer-y kind of things, right?
Come down here with me now.
Well, hello there, just hanging out by my fridge,
never hung out by my fridge for so long before.
(bang)
What just fell?
Hello, is everything okay?
This is what this vegan's fridge looks like.
I know everyone else is gonna have a different fridge.
Stay open.
Why won't you stay open?
Good now.
So let's see in here I have jelly,
vegan cesar salad dressing.
And this is actually my new recipe that I just
posted on the Vlog, it is my vegan blue cheese dressing.
And this is actually oil free and pretty healthy for you.
So this is a great salad dressing if you're looking to
slim down but you like that tangy kind of blue cheese taste.
Yum!
I have a salsa which is delicious,
tomato sauce, some hummus, an avocado.
Good tip if you don't this,
if your avocado is ripe but you're not quite
ready to use it so you want to use in a day or two,
pop it in the fridge and it should stay
ripe for a couple more days.
So that helps with the limited avocado window.
Berries, always love snacking on fruits.
cilantro, I've got extra rich coconut milk
in the back of the fridge there
because that's what I used to make vegan whipped cream.
Some random beers that people left here.
This is my tofu drawer so instead of a cheese
drawer I have a tofu drawer, I know.
I just got tofu there for making recipes
and I love though, this smoked tofu.
If you are looking for a sandwich meat kind of feel,
this stuff is where it's at.
I also love cubing it, frying it,
throwing it on top of a salad, layering it to a sandwich.
This smoked tofu has so much flavor, delicious.
Oh, hello fridge, you just turned on.
I've got a jelly jerk seasoning.
This is mushrooms, tomatoes, cauliflower, kale,
cucumber, broccoli, peppers, carrots,
some eggplant that I should probably use tonight.
This is my potato drawer and in here
I've got onions, ginger and garlic.
Mmm!
Let's look at the fridge door now.
Just chilling, just chilling in my fridge.
On the fridge door here for my vegan butters
I have both Earth Balance and vegan Becel.
I love using Earth Balance to cook with
but I use the vegan Becel for popcorn.
I just love it on popcorn,
it's so delicious, best flavor ever.
Over here I have capers, pickles, hot sauce,
tahini, pickled onions, weird I know.
Sriracha, white meso paste, barbecue sauce,
ketchup, vegan mayonnaise, hot peppers, mustard,
soymilk, and oh my goodness, I love this stuff.
My fridge is eating me.
(laughter)
The silk almond for coffee it's like overly sweet
and at first I hated it but now I'm completely addicted.
I think this alone has turned me into a sugar addict
and I love it and I'm not giving it up.
It makes me really happy.
(laughter)
Alright, so that's pretty much
what's in my fridge right now.
So let's go check out what's in my cupboards.
Now over in this little corner of my kitchen
I have this tiny little squished in cupboard.
And in the top I have oils and vinegar,
that kind of thing so my (inaudible).
In here I have my collection of teas.
I love drinking a lot of tea, so I've got a lot.
This is my favorite by the way chocolate mint the Stash tea.
If you like mint chocolate, having mint chocolate tea,
heavenly, it's the best, I love it, it's makes me so happy.
So that's my tea drawer.
In here this is my canned things drawer.
So I've got all kinds of beans,
green jack fruit, tomato paste, coconut milk.
I always have a lot of chick peas on hand
'cause they're my favorite whether I do roasted chick peas
or like my creamy lemon chick peas
or just toss them on top of a salad.
Or chick pea salad sandwich,
so many options, chick peas are life, love them.
In the next drawer I have extra soymilk,
natural peanut butter, vegetable broth,
and vegetable broth powder.
This Chipotle salsa which I am obsessed with currently.
Extra tomato sauce and these packets
of like weird peanut butter.
I don't know, they were sent to me.
I get things in the mail like that all the time
and I haven't really used any of them yet.
And in this last drawer I have an enormous bag of rice
that I don't know how I'm gonna get through.
I have rice paper sheets which
are amazing for making vegan bacon.
If you have my cookbook and you've tried that recipe
you'll know what I mean, amazing, beyond amazing.
So weird, so cool, love it.
So I have some rice noodles, some dried mushrooms,
seaweed, those kind of things live in that drawer.
Moving along.
So this is my dishwasher which was given to me
actually for free from my aunt
and uncle who didn't want it anymore.
I must say, I love it, it's a 2 drawer dishwasher
so you can wash the top or the bottom
or both at the same time, whatever you want.
For someone who cooks a lot and does a lot of dishes
this makes the turnaround super fast.
It makes me super happy, I love this.
So thank you auntie and uncle.
Why am I holding my hand like this by the way?
Hello, this is how I hold my hand.
This super fancy, gorgeous, espresso machine
which was given to me by Breville.
Thank you so much Breville,
I use this machine multiple times a day, it's my favorite,
I love it, thank you so much.
And this is just garbage and recycling and stuff.
Cutlery and cooking tools and stuff.
And by the way this whole kitchen,
all of this light colored stuff, this is all just Ikea.
Ikea's pretty good, I recommend their kitchens.
And these shelves which I love so much.
My parents have a woodworking shop on their property
so these shelves were made which is amazing.
I got to customize the kind of shelves I wanted
to do this incredibly long length.
Hey, now we're at this angle of my kitchen.
Like I've said you've seen most
of the kitchen already I think.
So these are my Pyrex bowls which I've collected.
I love 1950s kitchen stuff which
is why I have that fridge and the stove.
They're new but I love the look of them.
So again this is big chill in the
color Jadeite Green, nothing sponsored.
So this is my stove, I love it, it's gorgeous.
And this side I have a cute little wine rack
and store more cooking stuff over here and knives.
And I have this massive spice drawer
which I love, 'cause I love spice.
This is my blender and food processor corner.
All of these were given to me sometimes
just 'cause the company was nice
and sometimes for sponsored content.
So this is my Breville blender it's amazing.
And Breville food processor which is my favorite.
And then of course the epic Blendtec blender.
I love both of these blenders by the way
and would recommend either of them.
This cupboard I keep my filming equipment,
my camera and stuff lives in there.
In this cupboard what do I have?
So I've got some cereals, popcorn my favorite thing ever.
I love this brand of popcorn, Central Roast.
They've got this like tri-colored popcorn.
Super yummy.
This is a pasta drawer and dates randomly,
not all of my organization makes a lot of sense.
This is also a pasta drawer and peanuts randomly
'cause not a lot of my organization makes sense.
Apparently I have a lot of pasta right now.
In this bottom drawer I have some vegan protein powders
and I also have extra spices,
extra mayonnaise, extra things.
I get sent a lot of food products
so I often have an abundance of things.
This is kind of my abundance drawer
that I don't really know where to put it
because I already have one going.
Alright, so let's hop to the other side of my kitchen.
Woo!
So this is kind of my pantry shelf.
I have all sorts of nuts and rices and grains and flowers
and beans and all sorts of good stuff over there.
And then at the bottom is actually
my food photography dishes.
So I've got my normal plates
and then my food photography bowls and plates.
In this corner is my photography studio.
(laughter)
Certainly not very professional looking,
it's just on the floor but that's the way I like to do it.
I started my Vlog long before I had
this amazing kitchen that I was able to design
but I shot all of my food photography on the floor there
and I think I just kind of got
used to shooting on the floor.
This shelf is super ugly but I
found it for free on the streets so it works.
And this is actually a door that was
originally in my kitchen before I renovated it.
So I saved it, I painted it with chalkboard paint
and now I use it for notes.
These are all the books that we've read in book club.
Although I think we're missing a few books here.
And these are just like tips
that I give myself for YouTube filming.
And then lastly down in here is Chick Pea's food area.
I got this 1950s garbage can
which I love that I put her food in.
So fun, right?
So there it is.
I hope you enjoyed this little kitchen tour,

my fridge, all that good stuff.
