Lovely. Have fun, and report back !

I made this lovely orange polenta cake last night. It's exceptionally moist, incredibly delicious, and so orangey. Nigella describes hers as "like lemon curd solidified - but only just," and that really is what it's like. I'm in love with this cake.

I sort of combined this Moroccan orange and cardamom cake and Nigella Lawson's vegan lemon polenta cake.
It's a little bit grainy around the sides, so I think that I'll soak the polenta in the liquid ingredients next time. (And there will definitely be a next time, because it's marvellous... and I accidentally made 3x as much orange stuff as I needed.)

I baked the lemon polenta cake in one of your links.

I agree it’s a bit grainy in places so I need to soak polenta for longer. And also combined things more evenly.

Flavor is delicious where the syrup dripped into toothpick holes. It’s merely good where the syrup didn’t drip in.

Fun event. Fun activity. Nice outcome.

I tried to upload a picture but the iOS app keeps crashing when I select a photo from my library.

Oh, poo poo, I feel like a recipe-giving fairy godmother :allears:

I didn't have this issue at all; it was pretty evenly syrupy (except for right around the edges, where the cake was firmer). Did you have a hot cake (straight out of the oven), and cooled syrup ? Let it cool in the pan half an hour or so before demoulding ? Did you have lots of holes ?

I had a cake that was cooling for about 15 minutes on a cooling rack. Syrup was cooled in the fridge.

I don't blame the heat, I blame the fact that I didn't put a lot of holes in. I only created ~12 holes in a circle around the center, about equidistant from the center and the edge. I should have done more hole poking.

Also I think I undercooked the cake a bit maybe?

It was still yummy and super lemony :)

Donuts look delicious! What recipe did you use? Deep frying is addictive because once you do it a single time, you have a bunch of oil that you can either filter, save, and fry with some more, or you can toss it. And I never want to toss it.

What are some simple and relatively neat (aka not hard to eat) recipes to share with ~4 people.

Twist: I’m cooking at someone else’s place so I need a recipe with relatively few ingredients. Makes it easier for me to bring stuff.

https://www.budgetbytes.com/italian-orzo-salad/ - this was linked above and seems okay, but kind of plain and not the easiest to eat on a casual setting.

The lemon and herb tofu listed a few posts back also seemed relatively straight forward and good.

E: also I found out I’m doing this tonight, so I don’t have a lot of time to grab specialty items

E2: ooooh this might be the winner

Frying up some mushrooms with garlic and putting them on toast is super easy and really tasty! 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.

Mushrooms are so yummy

Fake meat is gross as gently caress. This is neat though because it’s just twice frozen firm tofu.

Hello friends, I am looking for the incredible vegan pasta.

Not pasta recipes, but the pasta itself.
  • I've tried stuff like Banza, which is good (especially for the bulk price via Costco).
  • However I am looking for the next level, the most powerful, tender, and delicious vegan pasta you've ever had.
I will spend outside my normal budget to acquire that incredible bucatini!!! Just tell me where to order from!

Most dry pasta is vegan, are you looking for something different?

Yes, most of the dry vegan pasta I’ve treated is… ok… but I’m looking for better than ok. I want the high quality noodles!!

Mainly brand tips or anything would be nice.

P.S. I’m a dummy but when I was looking up brands I sometimes found animal product. Didn’t realize most pasta was vegan by default. Think it was because there was some cross pollination with gluten free searches and also I was a dummy lol

Yeah I have an instant pot. It seems neat but 2 of the 4 times I’ve done a “set it and forget it” approach - it didn’t turn out well.

My favourite part about instant pot rice is that the ratio is always 1:1 rice:water since there's no evaporation.

The only time I have trouble with set-and-forget is when I'm making anything thicker than a soup, as certain ingredients tend to stick to the bottom and cause a burn alarm.

Soup always works 100% though. Make some pea soup last night in it and it was bloody delicious. Slightly upset it took me this long in my life to discover pea soup tbh.

It’s so nice

My life is such that I frequently find myself needing a gallon of chickpeas in like an hour and a half, so my instant pot has become indispensable.

What's your method for pressure cooking dry chickpeas?
1 cup dry to 3 cups water?
High pressure 23 minutes?

I did some searching and there was an unexpected amount of variance in the recipes.

Made some Mediterranean pasta salad.

This is my second time making it. First time was delicious and this time I messed it up. :mad:

I’m made especially at the dressing which uses way to much acid and mustard.

I made a big batch for meal prep and I’m miffed that it’s bad. Gonna work my way through it though.

I think chickpeas and cucumbers will add a nice combo of oomph and crunch.

Also I don’t know what wfpb is.

I have yet to find a salad that I make on Sunday and is good through Friday. Normally there’s a quality dip by Thursday.

I love smoothies because I lift and I get protein from da powder.

Gotta have some blueberries in there, leafy greens of course (spinach or kale), a banana (the backbone of any good smoothie), and then a tiny bit of either maple syrup or peanut butter. Then we enjoy all that delicious protein powder goodness :)

I didn't think I was old-school but I don't love printing recipes mid cooking or pulling poo poo up on my phone that went to sleep between ingredients, but I digress.

My wife is the better cook and she's excited, so just trying to share. I mean we have an entire bookshelf filled with pretty much everything possible. I feel like you can never have too many recipes I guess, even if we have go to recipes like colcannon and coleslaws this weekend ( we have an abundance of cabbage and potatoes this week).

Although a few books in the bookshelf are there just for the horror, like a 1950s Hadassah cookbook full of super nasty recipes.

I didn’t mean to come off like I was judging you. I support your efforts and I appreciate you sharing the resource with the thread!

Having a book recipe with the physical book is 100% more pleasing to do squint at phones or whatever. But not enough to make me pay for the book lol

I am going to a friends pizza making party. What are some of your fave vegan toppings / approaches?

The usual stuff is covered like onions and tomatoes, thinking I’ll just have a pizza sans the cheese. Don’t think I wanna do the fake cheese stuff.
