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.
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.
I mentioned in the weekly thread i was going to make sushi for the extended family this week. We made 18 rolls and it was a huge hit! I forgot to take pictures the day of so these were some of the leftovers on day 2, but still delicious!
The rolls are our favorite from a local restaurant and a few years ago we saw the they had shared the recipe here in case anyone is interested in trying it.
These are some vegan rolls I made last year. Totally worth the effort when you miss sushi!
If you can find a place that makes Inari/sweet tofu/tofu skin/whatever else people call it, it makes for some great vegan sushi.
I've thought about making it, I live just a bit too rural to get it shipped to me. But I'll put it back in the list to try, thanks for the reminder!
These look delicious! And much better presentation 😅 but yeah we do have a nearby restaurant with a vegan sushi menu but is too expensive for us to go for anything except special occasions so making it at home ends up being totally worth it. Plus we love to pack ours much fuller than any restaurant lol. Less money, more food. Win win!
Wow, these look amazing!
Damn they look great! Where did you catch the Thai hippies? Free range farm to table I hope 😋
Why have I never thought to make sushi before.
It can be a ton of work. Seasoning the rice properly, creating different fillings and also a variety of sauces, and then rolling and slicing the rolls neatly (the hardest part - if you don't have a sharp knife, like don't even try). If you're like me, you end up with a huge mess. It does get a little easier every time, but it is much harder than it looks at first. You'll easily spend half a day in the kitchen, unless you somehow have everything already on hand.
I cheat and have a mold, which makes it so much easier. You put the rice and filling in, and you press it into a cylinder and then just roll that in nori. It made sushi become a much more frequent dish at home.
We made it into a fun date night idea the first time a few years ago. We had each picked out a few different rolls to try and then went out to the asian market for the sushi rice, nori, and a few of the produce we didn't have from our garden.
Those look fabulous. I might have to try making some sushi again, the last time I attempted it was over 15 years ago. I'll have to make some "naked" rolls, my partner has to limit iodine intake.
this looks amazing! great job!
