 America's Test Kitchen posted:When it came to developing a vegan version of the classic chocolate chip cookie, we'd settle for nothing less than perfection; the recipe had to produce a cookie that would be moist and chewy on the inside and crisp at the edges, with deep notes of toffee. We started by baking 11 popular recipes, and we were shocked at the assortment of hockey pucks in front of us. Some cookies didn't spread at all, while others melted into greasy wafers; some tasted like cardboard, while others had funky off-flavors; and some were gelatinous, while others crumbled apart. We had our work cut out for us. Starting with the test kitchen's classic recipe, we removed the egg and found that we simply didn't need a substitute for it. While many cookie recipes call for a mix of white and brown sugars, we opted to use all brown; it gave the cookies a richer flavor and its moisture provided a softer center. But tasters wanted more chew. As it turned out, to achieve a chewier cookie, we had to leave it alone. Letting the mixed dough rest for 1 to 4 hours (no longer) gives the proteins and starches in the flour a jump start at breaking down; meanwhile, the sugar dissolves, hydrates, and later retains this moisture better during baking, preventing the cookie from becoming brittle. Lastly, the surprising addition of a little almond butter added the toffee-like richness that butter typically provides a cookie.

I have been vegetarian for almost 2 years now. I am going go vegan since I don't eat dairy or egg products at all either. What are some types of food that have dairy or egg in it that are otherwise unnoticeable?

You'll find whey powder cropping up in a lot of processed foods, crisps, soups and sauces for example. In terms of things that aren't vegan that you might think should be - quorn is the obvious one since it's egg based (although they now have a vegan range and it's clearly labeled as such). Particularly annoyed a few years back to find milk in tropical fruit juice in place (presumably) of coconut. Didn't buy that again... Up to you whether you have an issue with 'may contain traces of...' - personally that doesn't bother me if it otherwise looks OK, but that seems to put some manufacturers off labeling a product as vegan.

Atleast in Europe it's pretty easy to see if something is vegetarian instead of vegan since the difference is mostly allergens which are bolded in the ingredient lists.

I've noticed that on imported foods! I wish we did that in the US, anything to give my own ingredient eagle eye a boost. It's always so disheartening when I get to the end of a list and there's beef stock or some nonsense there.

It's been a while. Another food dump of stuff I've taken pictures of:  Delicious tamale pie. Dough recipe from here with my own black bean chipotle filling.  Qiang Xi Nan Hua Cai 熗西南花菜 / Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili and Sichuan Pepper from this book, which has a lot of excellent vegan recipes.  Smashed cucumber salad, from the same book I think.  Bear's paw tofu, from that book.  Granola!  My first time making potato chips. I'm still figuring out the process and I think it might be more work than it's worth, but it's kind of fun.  Gan bian cauliflower, recipe from here.  A roasted cauliflower + freekeh salad, although you can't see the freekeh. Sort of used this recipe I think, although I changed some stuff.  Broccoli chickpea salad with currants, moghrabieh, and almonds. One of the reasons I made this was to try out my homemade Dijon mustard, which was great.

Any suggestions for foods that go well with sauerkraut? I just made a ton of it and, while it's awesome on its own, it would be nice to mix things up a bit. Most of the recommendations I'm finding on the internet are pretty meaty.

TychoCelchuuu posted:You can look up recipes for shchi/schi/shchi/etc. (it's an anglicization of the Russian word Щи) - the sour version of it uses sauerkraut. Lots of recipes have meat but some don't, and you can usually mess around with them to replace the meat without much trouble (mushrooms are a good substitute) or just leave out the meat. I made this for my dad's birthday last night and it was a hit! Definitely going to make Shchi again. I used Terry Romero's recipe. We devoured it before I remembered to take pictures, but it looked something like this:  Yes_Cantaloupe posted:first thing that came to mind is this, which all works pretty well with the kraut, though sandwiches are my primary use of the stuff Ras Het posted:I eat kraut with curries and rice & beans - unorthodox maybe, but the acidity fits perfectly Thanks for all the suggestions!

Ingredients in mainstream products are so random you can't ever be sure. That's why I've just started to learn and cook everything for myself instead of buying anything processed.

Wow that was a douchey read. It's loving depression cake. It's not meant to use expensive ingredients like olive oil. You can use literally any cheap oil you have because the flavour of the oil is not present. The chocolate comes through. Also, because she over did the cocoa the cake isn't as high as it can be. I've made this cake a bunch of times and it comes out nice and high. Wtf was the point of olive oil?

Is "Search me!" analagous to "Ya got me!" in terms of an incredulous expression? Never heard that before. What was on the pizza aside from the onions and potatoes? Any garlic? Olive oil base? Looks awesome. Also dino, calm your tits, it's smitten kitchen...her prose is overwrought and she said she wanted to experience some illusory "earthiness" from the olive oil in her cake. Don't let it get you unruffled  Just use a neutral oil.

Is there a chocolate cake/brownie recipe that doesn’t have that oil aftertaste? One of my roommates is vegan, while I’m not, but I try to include her when I make dishes.

The cake tastes fine to me. But I might not be the right person to ask, because I don't think canola oil or plain (as opposed to extra virgin) olive oil have much of a taste in the first place, let alone an aftertaste.

I wonder if that cake would work at all if you substituted apple sauce for the oil, like I see some recipes call for if you're trying to make it "healthier". That way there's no oil in it whatsoever, so no oil flavor or aftertaste.

Eat it the same day if you do that because things with applesauce go stale really fast.

kloa posted:Is there a chocolate cake/brownie recipe that doesn’t have that oil aftertaste? Depression cake doesn't have an oil aftertaste. Chocolate Cake 1 1/4 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda + 1 tsp baking powder (baking powder optional) 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup sugar 1 cup water 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/3 cup oil 1 tsp vinegar Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and sugar. Whisk to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly. In a separate bowl, combine water, vanilla, oil, and vinegar. Grease a 9" cake pan, and dust with flour. When the oven is finished preheating, combine the wet and dry ingredients, and stir as few times as possible to make a cake batter. It will be a runny batter, so don't worry if it looks really liquidy. Because of the large quantity of liquid, don't worry about over mixing the batter. Pour batter into cake pan. Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Cool on a rack completely (2 hours). ________________________ I've made it with canola oil, vegetable oil, coconut oil, or whatever the crap margarine that was lying around, and it's come out fine. I've used apple juice in place of the water, and cut back on the sugar, and it's come out fine. My friend wanted it to be shaped like a bowl, so that she could decorate it with frosting from the can, so I bumped up the flour, eased back on the water a skosh, and it came out fine. I had a friend who didn't want it quite so sweet, so I cut out 1/3 of the sugar, and it was fine. Had another friend who wanted it to be "healthier", so we subbed out peanut butter in place of the oil, and it was fine. Once, I made it and we had nothing but balsamic vinegar. It came out fine. Seriously. Shut up and make the actual depression cake. The original recipe calls for hot water. I've never bothered. I just throw in room temperature. If you want it to be a little bit more tender, remove 3 TB of the flour, and replace it with 3 TB of cornstarch, potato starch, or arrowroot, and it'll do it. If you want to go for lower fat, substitute about 1/2 the oil for apple sauce, and the other half for peanut butter, sunflower butter, or almond butter. It'll come out fine. It doesn't work so great with chocolate chips stirred in, because the batter is so loose that the chips sink to the bottom and cause stickage. That time didn't come out fine. However, it does work great if you sprinkle on chocolate chips as the cake is cooling. There was a time when someone had bought this chocolate cake mix, and it ended up having beef fat in it. I was like, "No need to worry, dude. Let me knock up a quickie chocolate cake." I managed to get the batter together in 5 minutes flat, because it's all pantry ingredients. It took him longer to grease and flour the cake tins than it took me to make the batter. I do wait till the oven is preheated before mixing wet and dry together. But that's the longest part of this cake: preheating the oven, and preparing the pans.

That soup and bread look amazing. I made one of the mushroom soups posted on the first page and it was amazing (one with various mushrooms and wild rice). Would you mind sharing the recipe (or where you got it)? Do you do anything special to make your round loaves turn out so...round? Seems like a silly question, but whenever I try a round loaf it comes out looking weird.

Would you mind sharing the recipe (or where you got it)? It would probably good with sage or thyme or rosemary, and with some sherry or white wine, and also with fried shallots on top. Some sort of fancy chestnut topping might also be neat, and you could leave the olive cream out of the mix and swirl it in at the end if you're serving it to people and want it to look pretty rather than... not very pretty, like mine. No matter what else you top it with, it's worth drizzling on extra virgin olive oil at the end. Enfys posted:Do you do anything special to make your round loaves turn out so...round?

It's been a while so here are some more pictures: Moroccan zucchini eggplant stew, Moroccan carrot salad, and za'atar flatbread  Mograbieh and pearl onion soup, Moroccan tomato salad Those are two meals I made for friends who recently had a baby. I made a third and forgot to take pictures   Spicy Chinese noodles. Very boring looking but part of the reason I'm posting is to show people what sorts of stuff vegans can eat, and vegans can eat noodles! They're delicious, too.  Moroccan potato stew  Ethiopian food: yetakelt wet, mesir wot, and injera  Broccoli with garlic sauce (and white rice)  Sourdough!
