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.
The homemade pita bread is absolutely to die for. It's so so good and was easier to make than I was expecting. I got the recipe for it from here: https://thescranline.com/soft-pita-flat-bread-recipe/
Tzatziki is also super good and pretty simple to make. You just need vegan yoghurt (preferably greek-style), grated cucumber, olive oil, minced garlic or garlic powder, dried dill, some lemon juice and salt and pepper to your taste. It's delicious, you should give it a go if you haven't!
That looks excellent, thanks for sharing.
Just on a side note: aluminum foil is very energy intensive to create and is thus best avoided for one-time use packaging like this.
That is a good point. Gyros cannot be self-contained like burritos though and need some external support to help them stay in one piece. What alternative would you suggest?
Some paper wrap would do, no?
For your typical take-away it would get soggy too fast, but if you home-make it, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I guess it would work if you're careful with the placement of the sauce.
avoiding meat saves more energy than foil that is recyclable imo
If the foil too is unnecessary and could be avoided, I do not see why not.
Looks very tasty! You could also replace the seitan with falafel and the tsatsiki with humus and tahini sauce to have another nice dish on the same basis of pita, salad and fries.
That pita has me salivating
This looks awesome. Btw idk if this is stupid question but what would happen if you used nutritional yeast instead of instant dry yeast?
It won't rise. Nutritional yeast is already cooked up and no longer living
Good point I didn't even consider that.
This looks amazing! Nice job. If you have a trade joes near your they have a decent vegan tzatziki.
Fuck you for posting this when I am so hungry and so far from home.
Seriously though, this looks incredible.
Amazing, my favorite. Strain your yogurt first though!
Is that mostly to have it smoother? I don't mind the chunky texture 🙂
Opposite! It makes it chunkier. Doesn't really matter though lol that's just how it was made. That's why 'greek' yogurt is literally just yogurt that's strained for you 😅 Anybody could do it. Coffee filters should work I think.
