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.

It would be great to have recipes that go along side these types of posts.
It's pretty frustrating to see something that looks really tasty but not be able to have a go at recreating it.
Hey sorry you are frustrated but this isn't a community that is for teaching you how to cook, it is a community for sharing what we did and to stimulate ideas. There are a million fried rice recipes out there, use a search engine, look at a bunch of recipes and create something that you would like. We all cook things differently and use different ingredients. I don't cook with oil for example. If you are really curious you can stop by the discord and ask any one of us on advice, including OP on how you can make something similar to suit yourself. We're an active community.
We aren't professional bloggers or content creators, we are people who have been cooking a long time and are just sharing ideas and inspiration, forcing every post to write up a recipe is friction and would create a dead community or a community of food bloggers who are writing shitty recipes for profit. I literally never use recipes and don't find them helpful, I made fried rice last night after Marin shared this with us.
The sidebar attempts to explain the philosophy a bit better
Fried rice is as simple as it can be but I threw mine together based on what’s in the fridge and pantry. There’s tofu, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, onion, garlic, and brown rice. The sauce/seasoning is soy sauce, peanut butter, gochujang, sesame oil, and a clove of minced garlic. Topped it with green onions, kinchi, and sesame seeds
Thanks!
