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.

Be nice and supportive, no one cares about your criticism or fixes. If it isn't nice and positive your comment will be removed


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. Grown Ups Only.

Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.

Oh hell yeah looks so nice

thank you, it turned out really well. I make the beans, red sauce, and cheese sauce from scratch which I think helps.

I've never made the red sauce from scratch! I'm glad to hear it was worth it, I should probably give it a try.

I 100% agree that homemade cheeze is worth it. I don't eat it very often at all because I hate commercially available cheeze in most applications, but if I put together enough energy to make some at home it's always 🔥

I love making red sauce from scratch. All you do is soak dried chilies for a while then blend it in water with onions, garlic (or leave them out) and mix it with spices (or don't) and then pass it thru a wire mesh strainer. I usually leave out the onions and garlic because of my partners allium allergy but I add allspice, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, Mexican oregano and sage.

Thanks for the details! It's not a cuisine I'm super familiar with the basics for but this sounds very manageable.

This looks amazing, OP. I was just asking a question in c/vegan about good workout day meals. This looks like my answer!

This looks so good! I love enchiladas! I'm going to make some as soon as my oven is hooked up again (I'm redoing my floors lol)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

oh man, that sounds like so much work 😅

I hope the project goes well and your back is OK afterwards, lol

Definitely looking forward to seeing whatever you make, but esp. if you decide to make enchiladas too! 👀
