Still can’t work out why it’s slightly rotated after upload too.

If you up upload the image to Postimage then select the hotlink for forums option, you can then paste it into your post.

Jesus.

That looks an aggressive size.

I find posting to imgur.com and getting a link is very good, and you can even add a letter yourself before .jpg to change the size , s,m,l for small, medium or large.

For instance in my pic above it is imgur .com/UZtIHocl.jpg to indicate large, if I change that to imgur .com/UZtIHocm.jpg it would be smaller.

You can also choose the Thumbnail for forums option on Postimage for a small photo.

We post our dinners big in the Food forum

More birthday food. Veginity used to sell slices of a poppy seed frangipane which is my girlfriends favourite cake in the world. They stopped doing it at the start of the pandemic and she has been talking about to ever since. They don't do orders but I asked in case they would, and they made it for me to give to her, my ears have barely recovered from her excitement hahaha.

Also here is some banana bread I made recently with bourneville chocolate buttons, walnuts and raisins:

And my plain walnut version:

That looks lovely but just a gentle reminder that beef stock is a meat product

Yeah it’s a beef-free mince. I forgot to list it above.

https://shop.coles.com.au/a/national/product/herb-sons-beef-free-mince

Their sausages are fantastic too.

Edit - probably similar to beyond meat.

24-12-2020 3:14am

Savoury French toast. A favourite for a weekend breakfast.

Almond milk, chickpea flour, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, garlic and onion powder, mixed herbs, salt&pepper and find some bread that’s at least 2 days old.

26-12-2020 10:52am

This is the Gardein holiday roast served up with a very simple dinner including luxurious buttered mash and onion gravy.

Mushroom (and jackfruit) stroganoff by - https://www.mydarlingvegan.com/vegan-mushroom-stroganoff/

This is just amazing. Have altered the recipe a tad after the first time I cooked it.

Served with steamed kale and broccoli. The rice is a mixture with quinoa. I just add a half a cup of each in to the rice cooker and it’s simple as.

You won’t fail to impress with this stroganoff.

Hope you make it to the last photo because I think it also looks great on a plate.

eviltwin · 29-12-2020 11:01am

I made a creamy pasta bake using the Emlea plant cream. We had enough left over to put with some apple crumble and its just as good as the real thing. The non vegans tried it and said they couldn't tell it wasn't milk based.

29-12-2020 11:14am

Cashew cream is so easy to make and it’s amazing.

Very versatile and I make it thick or runny depending on what it’s needed for. It’s also easy to flavour in any way you want.

We always have about 1kg of raw unsalted cashews knocking about. We use them a lot.

31-12-2020 11:04am

Enchiladas by Nora cooks - https://www.noracooks.com/the-best-vegan-enchiladas/

These are well worth the effort.

I’ve altered the recipe, as always, having made them before.

My biggest tip - don’t put in ANY chili powder and 2 tablespoons is a crazy amount anyway. Instead I use 1 of a teaspoon of chipotle.

I also added a beyond meat type mince.

These pics are the early stages and build method.

31-12-2020 11:09am

And these are the final stage and then the finished product.

These are time consuming but well worth the effort. Just stick on a good album and pour a glass of wine and enjoy the process.

Korma made with elmlea cream and brown rice and vegan naan on the side

I just had the Dunnes lentil bolognese from their new vegan range. It was lovely actually! And half-price atm..

I needed to use up some puff pastry so made toad in hole from the Speedy Bosh book. Served with stuffing and gravy.

05-01-2021 8:54am

A break from the kitchen yesterday afternoon.

I love a momo. A favourite from my times in India.

I’ve yet to visit a country that offers more flavour or variety.

eviltwin · 05-01-2021 9:55pm

Pasta, pesto and some Vivera bacon. Garlic dough balls from Iceland on the side.

05-01-2021 11:58pm

That Vivera range was good the last time I had the chance to buy it and I believe they have added more products since.

Look forward to trying it again.

Hearty herby stew by - https://www.bosh.tv/recipes/hearty-herby-stew

I was going to make a pan of scouse but thought I’d try this instead.

The lemon was a bit wired but I got to like it by the end of my first bowl.

12-01-2021 9:39am

Nachos. All home made (except the Doritos). Just used some left over bolognese sauce I made earlier in the week.

Started a one week challenge with deliveroo yesterday, where they get me to eat vegan options for a week for veganuary.

Pictured is the Mucho Vegano bowl with vegan chorizo with added pineapple, and the Chili del Rey tacos which come in blue corn tortillas, from nutbutter.

Secondly the vegan bento box with teriyaki tofu, noodles, gyōza and avocado sushi. I also ordered additional various sushi including tofu inari, nigiri and avocado futomaki.
