Vegan Home Cooks
Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!
Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.
This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Adults Only.
While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.

How would you have done it?
While I do agree with a couple of points, the amount of greens isn't a problem. Especially in Japan they like to load heaps of spring onions onto their food. Okonomiyaki often has a mountain of spring onions.
And this isn't a photography community. While most pictures here are just plain sad, this one has some color in it. And it's about the food I guess.
Wow, didn't know that. I just have a lot of PTSD from my mum shoving a shit load of veggies where they weren't supposed to be cuz they were "healthy". Like not in salads n stuff lol. Just everywhere!
My vegan food signal group (just me and two close friends) often send one 'nice presentation' pic and one 'this is how it actually looked before digging in' pic. Sure, little spring onion in the middle looks nicer and shows more of the rest of the dish, but spring onion slaps so I heap it on after taking the picture.
Hehe yea spring onion is magical. Uk, if u like a lot of spring onion, u could mix it and then serve nicely, no? I dunno, for me the visual aspect is also very important when I eat.
I'm bigger on temperatures and textures than visuals, so I like to leave them on top so they stay cold and as crunchy as possible. Different strokes!
Interesting, to me, those points all except 4 would have made it look way worse.
“Food stylist”
Makes sense, thanks. I was curious what you had in mind.
np <3
Yeah I totally just throw this together every night before bed, I could have presented it better. Mixed the onion in instead of leaving it on top, used a real knife instead of scissors, you raise good points.
Tasty though.
Also it's not spaghetti! It's a noodle soup. Very important.
Ooo I bet it must be tasty!!! Uggh I was already hungry, now I'm even hungrier lmao
How about an action shot?![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/87b50965-b1f3-43c1-9eef-60a16118a617.jpeg)
