If you’re a YouTube watcher, you’ve almost definitely heard of Jenna Marbles as well as her boyfriend, Julien Solomita. While they may not be known for their food content, they are both vegan, and Julien has been creating cooking videos on his own YouTube channel for a few years now.
Jokingly called Aries Kitchen as a reference to Julien’s astrological sign and reckless, messy nature in the kitchen, these videos actually serve as great inspiration for the fact that you can create a plant-based version of nearly anything.
Among the foods he’s cooked vegan versions of, Julien has made Lay’s chips, a Taco Bell-inspired crunch wrap, deep-dish pizza, sushi, fish and chips, deep-fried ice cream, Chinese food, an Outback Steakhouse style bloomin’ onion, Snickers bars, Oreos, and funnel cake among many, many other things. He also creates videos showcasing staple recipes like “making tofu that doesn’t suck” and veggie burgers.
While his videos aren’t intended as follow-along cooking tutorials, they are incredibly entertaining and serve as fantastic inspiration for foods you can make at home. Plus, he always includes links to the recipes he’s using, so you can make the Aries food for yourself if you want.
