I'm on an endless quest to make tteokbokki that still tastes like tteokbokki, but is mild enough for my dad to eat. This weekend, I used a new brand of gochujang (only 6% red pepper, compared to the 9.3% of my usual brand), and combined it with blitzed chickpeas to make rabokki. It was pretty tasty, but not tteokbokki. I also made aloo matar, based on this recipe:  It was pretty bloody moreish. I added a tin of red kidney beans to the sauce, and used sweet potato instead of cauliflower, because cauliflower is absurdly expensive right now. I used an immersion blender rather than faffing about with the food processor, so the sauce isn't particularly smooth and creamy, but I don't care about that. And I made a lemon pudding, based on this recipe:  I boiled and blitzed a few whole lemons, and used that in place of the juice and zest. I also made some extra sauce, but that wasn't really necessary; it was already pretty saucy. Served it with soy yoghourt. Very tasty and very easy; I'll be keeping this recipe.

The mushroom stuff in that last post brought to mind something for me! So after years and years of assuming I didn't like mushrooms, surprise it turns out I just didn't like poorly prepared and/or canned mushrooms, and actually they're really drat good. What a shocker! I've been trying a whole bunch of different recipes recently, but I would welcome any sort of recommendations for other things to try. With the caveat that I can only reliably locally get button/cremini/portobello and shiitake.

I was the same. My mum's usual methods of preparing mushrooms when I was a kid were raw in salads, or thrown in soups, etc. and I always hated them. I was well into adulthood before realising that sautéed mushrooms are delicious, and that what I didn't really like was the sort of slimy texture that mushrooms have when you just throw them in liquid. Non-sautéed mushrooms have now grown on me too. (I still don't like raw mushrooms) As an adult, I've realised that most of the foods I disliked as a child were because of their textures rather than the taste. So I've had a lot of fun experimenting with different cooking/preparation methods to make various ingredients more tolerable. My favourite mushroom recipes at the moment: stroganoff - I don't use a recipe. I just sauté mushrooms and garlic in oil, add loads of smoked paprika, then yoghourt and chopped parsley. Serve over pasta. mushroom burgers - big portobellos grilled (grill them gill side down first, so that they finish cooking with their gills up; that way you don't lose all the delicious juice when you flip them) with grilled eggplant, zucchini (and fake haloumi or tofu if you're into that) on a nice bun with pesto and salad. Pierogi - There are a million recipes out there, but this one worked well for me. This sour shchi recipe (Sauerkraut and mushroom soup) This mushroom and barley soup As a pizza topping Risotto Recipes I've not tried yet, but have on my list: This chettinad mushroom masala is at the very top of my list. This Filipino tocino. I don't have access to oyster mushrooms, so I'm planning to try it with button mushrooms. Some variation on this mushroom bourguignon pie. (It's a "bourguignon" pie that doesn't contain any wine  ) This mushroom, chestnut & cranberry tart. I'd need to sub out the soy cream cheese with something I've not thought of yet.

Except tomatoes, which my tastes have legitimately changed on as I've gotten older. The only thing I despised as a child that I still don't like now is broccoli, but I'm a supertaster and it tastes intolerably bitter to me (weirdly I can manage with most of the other supertaster issue foods). And all those recipes look amazing, so they're going on the list of 'things to try'.

If you use dairy replacements you can also make them a bit creamy. Perhaps an obvious one but I also used to dislike mushrooms and this is now one of my favourite breakfasts and a good way to showcase different shrooms, plus frying them fairly dry gives them a pleasing texture.

AnimeIsTrash posted:Everyone likes Lasagna. The lentil she makes is also really great for pastas in general. I have to second this one, I often skip the lentils but this recipe when cooked is basically indistinguishable vs using regular ricotta back from before I ate vegan. Honestly, it's a solid recipe. notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Mar 13, 2022 |

Seconding sautéed mushrooms on toast. Throw in some chopped parsley and loads of pepper, and make it sourdough or a good country rye.

For anyone curious, I just read through The Cuisine of Spain by Claudia Roden. It has about 39 vegan recipes, which is not bad. A couple examples:quote:Andalusian Ajo Blanco con Uvas quote:Majorcan Coca de Trempó Not sure if I'd recommend buying it, since the majority of the recipes are non-vegan, but it would definitely be worth checking out from a library or borrowing it from a friend or something.

Right ! I've recently made these drunken noodles. I'm not sure how it happened, because I actually followed the recipe for once, but mine turned out much drier than hers. They were tasty, but not incredible. I made this black bean curry. I rarely follow recipes very closely, and my experimentations rarely result in flops. But my god, with this one, I somehow managed to create a new level of blandness. I'm not even sure what I did, but it was so boring. Not bad, just boring. I salvaged it by throwing in some curry powder, fresh herbs, and coconut cream, and it ended up being fairly tasty. I'm sure her recipe is delicious, though. For pud, I made this Jamaican sweet potato pudding. Based on the pictures, I was expecting something quite cakey, but it was just sweet potato pie without the crust. Delicious, though. I went off piste with the "custard topping," though; made a custard of soy milk, corn starch, brown sugar and vanilla. Served it with soy yoghourt. This weekend, I made this creamy mushroom and lentil stew. I didn't have beluga or puy lentils. So I did 50/50 green lentils and buckwheat kernels. Boiled the lentils as per the recipe, then blitzed them. Toasted the buckwheat and threw it straight into the stew towards the end. I also used frozen spinach in place of the kale, and added some peas. Quite tasty. I ended up adding a load of Italian herbs and some nutritional yeast, and the result is very moreish. For pud, I made this sweet potato cobbler, only I used pumpkin instead. I used soy milk in place of the milk. I decided that the 1/2C of butter was unnecessary, so I just par-cooked my pumpkin in the microwave, spread it in a greased pan, poured the batter and the syrup over the top. I also decreased the sugar in the syrup a fair bit. And I used Chinese five spice instead of whatever the recipe calls for. Very good. Served with soy yoghourt.

Eggplant unagi is a brilliant idea and I’m mad I didn’t think of it. I’m wondering if it’s possible to keep the skins on though. I really like the contrast of skin vs flesh on roasted eggplant and I feel like it would have a nice texture here too. Maybe if I broiled it after braising…

I over cooked them a bit, and they would've had absolutely no structural integrity without the skins. As a rule, I never peel veg unless I really have to.

Roasted veggies are my go-to meal most nights. Chop them, mix them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and pop them in a toaster oven until crispy. Salt/pepper/garlic powder is my usual spice mix, but I'm looking to branch out. Anyone have any favorite mixes they want to share? Even store-bought spice mixes are fine, I'm not above them or anything.

Supermarkets in Australia sell "Moroccan" and "Cajun" spice mixes, both of which are very tasty. A quick look at the ingredients says that Moroccan is Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Sugar, Onion, Paprika, Rosemary, Food Acid (Citric), Turmeric 2.5%, Capsicum 1.5%, Coriander Seed, Cumin 1%, Vegetable Oil, Lemon Oil, Ginger. Cajun is Salt, Paprika 16%, Pepper, Onion 8%, Basil, Garlic, Chilli 6%, Fennel, Thyme. When I mix my own, I generally go for salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, coriander seed and rosemary. Curry powder is also very tasty on roast veg. Lady Disdain fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Mar 22, 2022 |

My basic, no-frills pancake recipe: 1 cup flour 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 1 cup soy milk or other alternative milk 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Combine the 4 dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the milk and vegetable oil to your mixture. Mix together. Cook. There's a lot of baking soda which makes them fluffy without eggs.

I have now collected all three of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, and Vegan Pie in the Sky. So expect like....a ton of desserts in the future. Also I have now had the ultimate vegan experience. Reading the menu for a place friends selected, and the growing sense of "oh boy, cobbling together a meal here is going to be....a thing, isn't it?"

I had a really great one once, though: at the only eatery open for some reason, a waiter told me that the chef doesn't allow changes to the bacon-in-everything menu, but pssst, if you wait 45 minutes before you order, the chef is going to take a break, and his apprentice will make you whatever you want, but shhhh. Had a spectacular salad of mixed grains, nuts and rainbow kale, grilled broccolini with beetroot hummus and whole-roasted garlic, dukkah-crusted tofu, and roasted pumpkin. It was absolutely stellar. Did you manage to get something you good ?

This Humble Bundle has a fair number of vegan cookbooks and vegetarian cookbooks, plus a few cookbooks that probably have some vegan stuff (like the Lebanese cookbook). I'm not familiar with any of the books and I haven't bought it (yet?) so I can't vouch for anything.
