Awesome post, thank you. My local groceries only carry the vegan shreds that don't melt and taste chalky, so making my own cheese looks to be a good option.

Now I just need to find a source of semi-cheap cashews.

My first time cooking from the Veganomicon. Made the Greek tofu Benedict and it's DELICIOUS.

Yeah TVP can be fried up and flavored however to give a nice crispy crunchy texture to tacos or chili or whatever. It rules

Any tips on making rejuvelac and other cultured things?

I made a batch of rejuvelac using quinoa, but by the time it was fermented a bit and ready to use (2-3 days), it had bluish mold floating on top. It's supposed to sit in a room temperature area, so how can I avoid that?

Same thing happened when I tried to use it to make vegan cheese, it had to sit for a couple days, and ended up getting moldy.

rejuvelac (what the gently caress is that anyway)

It's just sprouted grains left in water for a few days til it turns tangy, basically.

Thanks for the tips, folks. I may not return to making cheese the rejuvelac way, adding something from the store pre-fermented might be an easier option.

We had an all-vegan Thanksgiving and it was SO GOOD.

- Mushroom wellington
- Mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy
- Green bean casserole
- Cranberry sauce (homemade, of course)
- Apple pie with homemade crust (Martha Stewart's recipe!)

It was all so good and I can 1000% vouch for those recipes.

Yeah I think my go to recipe every year was basically that with an egg cracked in for binding, but I'm going to try some flax instead. How does flax fry up?

Man, I appreciate my family and my in law family making an effort to provide vegan food options at family gatherings, but come on there are more vegan options than hummus. I must have eaten 3 pounds of hummus over the last couple weeks.

Celebrated 2 years as a vegan last week, never knew there was a thread here :3:

One recipe from home I've yet to nail down is the Peruvian huancaina sauce. It's a far cry, but if anyone here has some recommendations I'd gladly take them.

New year's day was one year for me :3:

We had a completely vegan seder yesterday, and it was awesome. Ignore the dirty stove, that was after 4 hours of frantic cooking because we had a Zoom date and I was hurrying.



Vegetable soup with homemade matzo balls, cast iron shepherd's pie with parsnip, mushroom, red wine, walnuts, etc. It was soo goood...



And a vegan seder plate! It's acceptable to replace the egg with an avocado, and replace the lamb shank with a roasted beet. :)

I'd have to find the recipe again (fiancee has it in an ebook on her phone), but it was matzo meal, potato starch, baking soda, water, oil, spices. The key was refrigerating first, then boiling, then letting them sit for a while to get hard before adding them to the soup right before serving. It's tough to keep them binded without any egg.

I'm making Roy Choi's recipe this weekend:
https://www.poketo.com/blogs/journal/recipe-roy-choi-s-kimchi

I'm just leaving out the fish sauce/oyster sauce and the seafood (though using a little miso paste sounds like a great idea, maybe a touch of hoisin to make up for the oyster sauce)

I dived into Ethiopian cuisine recently with shiro wat, and I'm shocked at how easy it is to make.

Mix up some chick pea flour and berbere spice, mix with water; fry up some onions/garlic/tomato and then dump in the liquid and cook for ten minutes. I don't have access to injera, but dipping sourdough into it was so delicious. I even made a vegan nitter kibeh by just infusing some olive oil with a bunch of spices and kosseret.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for vegan Ethiopian food? I have all this berbere, kosseret, and black cardamom I ordered that I want to use in fun ways.
