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.

Idk why I'm letting the removed comment get to me so much, but it does so it's overshare o'clock comrades...

Who the fuck cares what your food looks like? Chances are most users are at least a lil neuro spicy and with that can come all sorts of issues with food, function and cooking.

I'm squarely in the strug to func category at the moment. This is pretty much what I'm capable of throwing together right now and it's actually pretty good! Throw in some frozen spinach when rehearing and it's a pretty wholesome and healthy meal that's super cheap, reheats well, and contains a variety of good-for-you stuff that is way better for you than fries and nugs.

So shoutout to everyone dealing with a beige and bland food era - you got this home slice 💖 Try and take a vitamin and eat some greens maybe if you are feeling up to it.

That other commenter really doesn't know what they're talking about (yes I did wander to the vegantheoryclub mod log to read it because sopuli isn't federated with hexbear). I'd eat the shit out of this, especially with some green peas or spinach tossed in when reheating and maybe a dash of hot sauce (I do love hot sauce)!

Seriously, cooking is sometimes such a struggle when everything else massively sucks and you've found a very hearty and healthy meal that very much is something I'd enjoy eating. It looks great!

We're only defederated from lemmy.world and lemmy.ca for now and I've been going back and forth in my head about refederating because of the broken threads and lack of content but I think the hexbear whitelist is probably the way to go. I had proposed defederating a server and one of my users went nuclear on me calling me, an anti-war anarchist, a tankie because I was uncomfortable about caching posts about war deaths and war funding so I basically stopped trying since that happened. Like I'm sorry that someone who's family is from Iraq and Iran might not have the trust in the US military to do the right thing that they do after what they did to my families place of origin. The takes I see from people who play videogames with comfortable lives in the US and Canada about war and war funding really get to me. It still really bothers me how it all went down and I'm not even sure why I'm writing about it here on the cooking comm.

Federation (and which instances to federate with) is a sticky topic for sure! For what it's worth, I really enjoy your instance and I'm glad you're federated with hexbear, it's nice to have a fully vegan, relatively active instance federated with us. And the frequent food posting is great! I love to look at all the tasty things people cook!

I love root slop!

You could try to add some tofu for extra protein
