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.

goddang that looks crisp 👌

It really was, maybe even too much for my fragile mouth!

Not to take away from the food looking delicious, but "tofu nuggets" sounds like something a polite vegan would yell as a curse word.

Might adopt that, but it would probably just make me feel hungry

That looks delicious, and bonus points for the rice being basmati.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Basmati is definitely one of my favorites currently, especially for something like this where the rice shines by itself (with a little soy sauce)

I've never seen air fried stuff look so delicious like fried food. Any tips to get that crispy gold look and texture?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Panko and oil. I think some people are scared of putting oil in the air fryer since it's meant to be 'healthier' and whatnot, but any excess falls to the bottom anyway. I personally err on the side of a bit too much oil; for this dish I poured some onto each individual piece at the beginning, and then again after turning them half way through the cook. It's also a good idea to cook hot, my machine goes up to 200 C and I pretty much always use full blast.

Really the only thing I've struggled to get crispy is fresh fries, though I might just be overcrowding the tray.

You know that makes a ton of sense. I'll give it a try next time I cook.

Man that's just begging for some sauce or a curry! Giving me some inspiration for dinner 🤤
