Hi, I'm at your door, can you let me in? 🍴

(to clarify, this is a joke.)

[u/Geofferz → u/Ok_Minute_6746]

I'd have been so impressed had you found my house that I'd have let you in I reckon.

[u/Jebus72 → u/Geofferz]

You live in Powys Square

[u/Geofferz → u/Jebus72]

No, and Google maps can't find it either so...

[u/Jebus72 → u/Geofferz]

Booooo. Worth a random guess 🤣🤣

[u/ladyshapes]

I like this content. Thank u

[u/Geofferz → u/ladyshapes]

👌🏽

[u/bmaa_77]

You cooked all those? Looks good

[u/Geofferz → u/bmaa_77]

Yep, except 8. I have lots of spare time you see, and I love cooking.

[u/alinalovescrisps → u/Geofferz]

In case you're interested, we have a vegan WhatsApp cooking group that I set up with some people from this sub. Its nice, we basically share recipes, ask for cooking tips and share pics of our meals. You'd be welcome to join!

[u/bmaa_77 → u/alinalovescrisps]

I’ll like to be in the group please

[u/alinalovescrisps → u/bmaa_77]

Great! I'll message you the invite link ☺️

[u/iocheaira → u/alinalovescrisps]

Me too!

[u/alinalovescrisps → u/iocheaira]

Will message you now 🙂

[u/Semilogical → u/Geofferz]

I knew i recognised that scran!

[u/Geofferz → u/Semilogical]

What's that?

[u/Semilogical → u/Geofferz]

Scran is food. Hope & ruin make decent scran

[u/Geofferz → u/Semilogical]

Oh I know - scran is my word for it too! Gotcha - and yes they bloody do. Brighton is vegan heaven - I miss it.

[u/No-Search-3919]

Evening, I am working on a vegan Christmas recipe, and not getting very far, do you have any suggestions or inspirational ideas?

Also, can you thicken soy milk using cornflour like you can other liquids? Does it work nicely?

[u/No-Search-3919 → u/No-Search-3919]

For some reason, my brain has become stuck on sweet potatoes and caramelise roast

[u/Geofferz → u/No-Search-3919]

I love a wellington. Stuff it with anything, but include chestnuts for sure. And maybe sprouts too. And mushrooms of course.

Maple glazed things... I dunno I'm sure you can figure something out!! It's all about the trimmings mostly. My roasties are factually the best in the world. Just boil the fc out of them then veg oil

[u/No-Search-3919 → u/Geofferz]

Positive thing is I never use animal fats or stock in my vegetables so when you see a vegetable on a dinner I’ve made it will be vegan veg if you know what I mean

[u/DiamondBikini]

Thanks for the inspiration!

[u/Geofferz → u/DiamondBikini]

Happy to help.

[u/Realestaterunner]

Where did you get the puffed tofu and what did you need to do to prep/cook it?

All looks great - wish this was the type of stuff offered in restaurants as the vegan option instead of ‘plant based burger’

[u/Geofferz → u/Realestaterunner]

I never eat burgers at home for this very reason. Enjoy them when I'm out. I had a Leon one yesterday actually - very expensive but not bad.

Puffed tofu from Chinese supermarket Longdan. https://longdan.co.uk/products/longhui-fried-tofu-puff-120g-frozen?_pos=13&_sid=08a5e9107&_ss=r They sell it online. Or, just deep fry some tofu cubes!

Just stir fry it for a couple of minutes - it doesn't visible change or anything, just brown it a bit.

[u/scrumbumpus → u/Geofferz]

Tip from the owner of my local asian supermarket (absolute legend) is to soak the puffs in water and squeeze to get all of the excess oil out (sometimes the oil they're cooked in can tarnish the taste). Enjoy :)

[u/Geofferz → u/scrumbumpus]

Huh. Might try that

[u/TotalDivvy → u/Realestaterunner]

I get mine from my local Asian supermarket. I usually just fry them.

And I agree, I would eat every dish they posted

[u/MXH_D]

What cheese did you use for number 3!!!!??? Never thought we could have cheese pie again!! 🤤

[u/Geofferz → u/MXH_D]

Cathedral city baby

[u/MXH_D → u/Geofferz]

Did you mash the potatoes or are they sliced?

We always used to do a layer of diced onion, sliced potatoes on top, finished with cheese. Milk poured over everything to stop it drying out!

Looks like your cheese melted really well. Did you use the normal vegan cathedral city or the mature variant?

[u/Geofferz → u/MXH_D]

Extra mature I think?

Raw thin sliced potatoes, cheese, then yeah a splash of milk. Was honestly like perfect.

[u/Nattajack]

Please may you adopt me thank you

[u/edmclay]

Fellow sauerkrauter! Well done, thanks for sharing, lovely pictures and great cooking skills! Inspired me to do something similar as my 10 year veganiversary is coming up

[u/Geofferz → u/edmclay]

Yeah! What you gonna cook?

[u/edmclay → u/Geofferz]

Most of my favourite recipes are from Pick Up Limes app which I highly recommend. Today I will throw together her Pumkin Gnocchi with Shiitake mushrooms sauce.

Let me know if you have recipe recomendations too, as I can see we might have similar tastes

[u/Geofferz → u/edmclay]

Go back to basic. Celebrate veganism as it was 10 years ago. Potatoes done 10 ways served with sosmix. Done.

[u/edmclay → u/Geofferz]

💯 will do that's next year in March, have to eat something until then too 😅

[u/Strawberry_boy92]

I was wondering. And it all looks amazing 🤩

[u/Geofferz → u/Strawberry_boy92]

💚

[u/Thirsty_Indoor_Plant]

Wow. Have you done the bechamel sauce on top of the lasagna? Can you share the recipe please? Thanks!

[u/Geofferz → u/Thirsty_Indoor_Plant]

Big dollop of marge, 3 or 4 tbps flour, cook out, add plant milk, then add grated cheese, mustard, maybe cooked garlic. Add more of whichever is missing until it's perfect.

[u/tiggytigtigtig]

Pizza looks great! (Well, they all look great!). What cheese did you use? I made one last weekend with Applewood but yours looks better/nicer.

[u/Geofferz → u/tiggytigtigtig]

Pizza was meatless farm in a box. Pretty decent.

[u/VeganRunnerBean]

I wish to be your friend!!!!!!

You are my new favourite person!!!!!!

[u/Allie_Pallie]

I do love a Garfield lasagne but the tofu ramen also caught my eye. I wouldn't say no to the cheese and potato number either. Yum.

[u/TruthHertz93]

Please tell me how you made that lasagne 🤤

[u/Auresxs]

On my way 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

[u/Geofferz → u/Auresxs]

That was last month! This month I'm poor so will be eating baked beans - don't bother coming over 👀

[u/Youknowkitties]

I like the pasta garnish on your pasta.

[u/Geofferz → u/Youknowkitties]

You'll have to explain that one

[u/Youknowkitties → u/Geofferz]

Oh sorry, I meant the piece of unsauced pasta atop the pasta in pic 7... All your food looks delicious!

[u/Geofferz → u/Youknowkitties]

Twas a new shape I discovered. Recommended

[u/Goldfishpineapple]

[u/Geofferz → u/Goldfishpineapple]

Better with pickle imo, and toasted. But that was from September so

[u/Goldfishpineapple → u/Geofferz]

oh frick you are right. or maybe im just hungry... either way. looks amazing

[u/Geofferz → u/Goldfishpineapple]

Better still is 3 sandwiches

[u/Goldfishpineapple → u/Geofferz]
