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.

I've recently rediscovered cabbage

Specifically eating it raw. Take a hard red cabbage and a hard white cabbage. Chop a good chunk of each and then finely chop it. Can still be quite chunky but the smaller the easier it is to eat

Put in a bowl and cover with generous amount of quality vinegar. I'm using some nice apple cider vinegar. Leave that for a few mins. Maybe add some salt as well.

From here you can do all sorts.

Last night I added air fried onions and vegan meat balls, generous dollop of runny tahini, splash of rapeseed oil, loads of sesame seeds, chilli sauce and a dash of vegan mayo. It was lovely.

I'm finding you can add all kinds of things and you get a really fulfilling chunky salad that is great on it's own, as part of a sandwich or whatever

Good old Krautsalat. One of the basic ingredients for döner in germany and can go as you said with almost anything.

It's been one of my favorite veggies since forever. One of my favorite ways to have it is in the form of a dry stir-fry - with some green chillies, a pinch of turmeric, a tomato and some TVP chunks. You can have it on its own, or with some flatbread or in a sandwich.

Cabbage is also my go-to filler for dumplings (along with mushrooms). Drizzle with some soy sauce, vinegar and chilli oil (Lao Gan Ma is yum!). Add spring onions if you're feeling fancy. Or you could garnish with togarashi and wakame on top if you want to make it a bit Japanese-y.

I am a huge cabbage fan as well. To the vinegar I would also add oil, salt, and pepper. Other nice touches include some shredded carrots or a bit of raw onion.

I just ate some of this on a veggie burger. It was like 50% cabbage, 50% everything else

At work we have this greatusmall restaurant that makes amazing cabbage salads and side dishes. Love em. Don't know what magic they use but I could eat the stuff forever.
