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. 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.

Okay, perhaps not the most visually impressive meal ever. But it sure was delicious.

This is the recipe I used.

I tend to prefer using natural ingredients like mushrooms and nuts rather than artificial / highly processed meat substitutes when cooking vegetarian or vegan meals.

This was not terribly difficult or complex to make (finely chopping the mushrooms took a while though). I definitely recommend giving this recipe a try even if you're not vegan.

Are there some neat vegan alternatives to Parmesan that actually taste good?

Tried some alternatives two years ago but wasn't convinced.

Idk. The powdery stuff on top is actually just a bit of nutritional yeast.

Still tasty

You can try grinding peanuts or other nuts to powder and salting them slightly. It comes close enough to the texture/look/taste, but obviously not a 100% replacement. Works reasonably well for salads too.

Idk bud it looks extremely visually impressive, 11/10 would eat.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing. Walnut and mushrooms are the old school 70s crunchy vegan mince replacement lol, I love it
