Vegan Home Cooks
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.

I don't know what it is; but I love spinach, I love soy sauce, and I love chilli. So it looks like I'm off to look for a recipe.
Unless you have one you'd like to share?
Sure, it was extremely non-traditional so I'll fess up to that. It's no-oil and lazy:
Soak half cup (huskless, split) moong dal and half cup rice in water for a little bit. Or if you are too lazy to get the moong dal from the basement grab the red lentils (masoor dal) from the cabinet and use those!
Chop up a couple tomatoes. Or frozen dehydrated tomatoes from the freezer 🤷♀️ Put those bad boys in the electric pressure cooker.
Add 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp ground coriander. The recipe I was adapting from had coriander seeds and cumin seeds but no grinding step and honestly I regret using whole coriander seeds so instead I am recommending ground in a smaller volume. Add some salt.
Rinse and drain the lenil/rice mix. Dump in pressure cooker. Add 4 cups water. Cook on low pressure for 15 mins, release pressure when done.
This presentation is reheated, so I just tossed from frozen spinach in when I microwaved it. I added some water too, because it thickens up. There wasn't nearly enough salt in the batch I made so I added soy sauce and of course my favorite chili/tomato/garlic commercially prepared condiment.
Breakfast of champions!
