What are your staple foods? (vegantheoryclub.org)

What are the foods that everyone here eats day to day?

I'm looking for more to add to my arsenal.

In my head there's a big difference between staple foods and the kind of food that you make when guests come over.

I suppose it's an increased emphasis on being easy/practical to make, or make in bulk as well as as nutrition. I guess it's the staples that largely decide how the kitchen is stocked too.

Surprised no one's saying tempeh. I've been eating a laughable amount lately. You can cut it en julienne and poach it in stock with some spices for a protein-rich grain replacement, so I often have that with some rocket in a wrap.

+1 tempeh.

I didn't used to like it that much - I find it has this kind of pungent bitter note amongst the nuttiness.

That is until I started absolutely blasting it (200C) in the toaster oven before any kind of prep. Then I'll do sesame oil and toss around in some kind of spicy dry rub and cook for real.

Basically just more oil and seasoning and crisping if it's for company lol.

Hm, don't think it should be bitter at all. Try steaming it first too!

Tempeh is great but kinda expensive where I live so I only buy it occasionally. But I love it otherwise, could eat a whole slab "raw" (as far as a fermented food can be raw)

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.

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.
