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.

3. Join the Discord

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. Grown Ups Only.

Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.

I make seitan deli meat loaves in two flavors: Turkey and ham. This is the ham variety. Sliced thin, and lightly toasted in a pan with a dash of oil. Let the edges get crispy, pile it up, and slap a piece of fake cheese on it. Cover the pan and let melt.

In a different pan, sauté some diced onion in olive oil until slightly carmelized. Turn off heat, add horseradish mustard, mix.

Toast ciabatta bun, spread the onion/mustard mix on, top with the meat/cheese pile, load up some pickles and go crazy.

I have a pic of the inside after I took a bite which better shows the texture of the “ham”, but I have no idea how to add it.

It really was. I’ve been making seitan a lot lately. I’m trying to get a better grasp on what makes it good. If you google recipes for seitan you will end up with 100 different ingredient lists, and 100 different cooking methods.

This recipe for deli meat style is really my most successful, but each time I make it I tweak it a bit. I think lightly frying the slices firms them up and gives the seitan a more rich, fatty flavor.

I think I’ll try smoking my next batch to see if I can get it to recreate a more bacon/spam like product.
