I changed my mind at the last minute. I know, I am incorrigible.
I saw half a large eggplant in the fridge so whipped up this Kashmiri Brinjal in Gravy (Eggplant Curry). It came together in (almost) no time.

Feta and olives will be consumed while dinner cooks.

A friend recommended a vegetarian Indian #cookbook that my wife (a #vegetarian) might like. I bought it for her and she didn’t really find much that she thought the whole family would eat.
So I thought to give it to a friend who loves Indian food and is vegetarian… the very same friend who suggested it to me! 🤦

Simple Feel Good Food/Love and Lemons food blogger Jeanine Donofrio
The last cookbook for this week of books. Another one published this year, this time by plant-based food blogger and cookbook club convenor at https://www.loveandlemons.com/.
Simple Feel Good Food is a wonderful "feel good" book chokkas with everyday food options made with a focus on flavour. It wins my vote as a #vegetarian cookbook ✅ 💃 There are 168 recipes for around $48AU, but always check around and consider the ebook options.
The book is organised by course, and each chapter is divided into two parts- one for recipes made with minimal prep and ingredients ("at the ready"), and the second for food prepared ahead of time ("in advance"). Loads of variations on each main recipe.
The recipes are laid out beautifully, each is easy to follow. There are no real different, innovative or wild recipes - you will recognise the general style in each of them. But she does pack flavour into them AND ISN'T AFRAID OF PROTEIN. Thank goodness, it is not just another book of vegetables pretending to be a vegetarian cookbook 💃 There is plentiful use of tofu, tempeh, grains and lentils.
Check out her blog if you haven't done so before, and if you love her style, then this book is recommended. It is modern in feel and layout and will fit well into any kitchen bookcase.The more I dive into this book the more I love the layout, the content and the thoughtfulness behind it.

How meat consumption in France has stagnated over the past ten years.
Since 2013, individual meat consumption has risen by 3%, with a noticeable increase for poultry. Yet, France has committed itself to a significant reduction in meat consumption through its carbon neutrality objective.
#Cooking today:
Miso Sesame Noodle Bowl with Avocado.
Light but tasty #vegetarian dish. Perfect for warm summer days.
Next time I'd probably dice the avocado (if it's still hard) and briefly blanch it with the other vegetables.
I don't sprinkle the peanuts across anymore but rather crush them to bits and fry them with the sauce.

I've seen a lot recently about the amount of water it takes to make a hamburger. Anywhere from 660 - 1000 gallons, if you believe the anti-meat sites. The thing is, the water used to make that burger doesn't go away. The amount of water on earth is more or less constant. The water used to grow that alfalfa stays in the water cycle, eventually evaporating into the air and returning as rain. So, while this statistic sounds awful, it isn't a reason not to eat meat. #meat #vegetarian #water #burgers
I really like pea protein-based foods, and it sounds like a lot of work is going into breeding a suitable pea variety for expanding production in UK.

Einkorn wheat is very tasty. I eat intact whole grain — https://www.chatelaine.com/health/intact-grains-nutrition-faq/ — & I just made some einkorn.
Combine 1 cup einkorn & 3 cups water, then simmer covered until all water is absorbed (~ 1 hour). Then refrigerate it to make the starch resistant (not so quickly digested).
Einkorn grains are quite small (compared to, say, Khorasan whet — Kamut®, for example) and almost spherical. They have a nutty taste. Great stuff.

It is baked feta with tomatoes and eggplant tonight, with some sourdough to mop up the juices and spread any melty feta on. There will be a scattering of herbs.
This one is more of a tray-bake than other baked fetas I make. In the others I put the feta into a small terracotta dish and fill the spaces tight with cherry tomatoes, olives, capsicum.
Both versions are drizzled with olive oil. Tonight's tray-bake also has some red wine vinegar mixed with the OO.
The idea for a tray bake comes from #DonnaHay's #OnePanPerfect

I welcome everyone to state their thoughts, or simply vote your opinion on this informal poll.
I have posted some thoughts on this, but I am keen to read people's opinion on this. I acknowledge that I am heavily biased (#AnnoyingVegan and all).

This book will sit in your bookshelves alongside others in the same modern Indian genre - think Fresh India (Meera Sodha), and Chaat (Maneet Chauhan) and Chai, Chaat and Chutney (Chetna Makan)
Recommended with love for all lovers of Indian food.

🧵 2/From Gujarat with Love/Vina Patel ⬆️
The paper in this gorgeous book is matt enough to scribble your notes on. The index is not extensive, and almost workable. It doesn't index the Indian names of the dishes, sadly.
The book begins with 20 pages of intro material - a lovely overview of Gujarat, conversions, and a glossary of essential ingredients. It puts its basic recipes right up front - pastes and powders - followed by chutneys and pickles (which are essential to Indian food, but usually appear at the back of books).
Then there are Salads and Raitas; Appetisers; Dals and "Soups" (!!); Curries; Breads; Rice and Khichdi; Drinks and Deserts. I love that there is a Cracked Wheat khichdi in the book - I make one but don't recall having ever seen a recipe published in a book before.
There are recipes I recognise in the book - Khandi, Dhokla, Okra Fries ( @Splodgenoodles ); Masoor Dal; Amritsari Chole, Butter Paneer, Pav Bhaji, the breads, and more...). But also new ones to me Panki (a rice and yoghurt based pancake), a chaat based on spinach, Green Goddess Chutney Pizza 😆 , Sago Khishdi with beetroot !! and much more.
And these Kachori (in the pic) - make them for breakfast on weekends.

🧵 1/From Gujarat with Love/Vina Patel
It gives me a lot of pleasure to bring you this gorgeous Indian cookbook, - food from the state of Gujarat. It is the first of 2 Indian food cookbooks this week. And I adore it.
From Gujarat with Love, by Vina Patel
Published: 2021
Publisher: Pavilion Books
Pages: 208
Price: Around $31, but always check around as prices vary. Ebooks can be cheaper.
There are 102 recipes in this book, ALL Vegetarian 💃 🎈
This book is one of the current genre within Indian cookbooks that present a modern approach to Indian food - eg, uses olive oil in some dishes instead of ghee, some modern names, modern plating. But this book balances that nicely with a few gorgeous pics of colourful India.
Mind you, I resist Rasam being called soup, and a couple of other clangers - you change a dish entirely when you create a perception in an audience that it is like a commonly known western dish. Rasam is not soup in that sense. (Like the trend some years ago to call some Indian rice dishes "risotto". *wince*) In this book, Kadhi is also called soup 😭 Oh my heart 💔
Nevertheless I love this book, and it is one that might stay on my bookshelves. 😍 Partly because it is a regional cookbook, and India does regional cooking like no Aussie truly understands.

To tempt or inspire...... Okra Pachadi
We are so blessed that we get good quality okra locally at a cheap price. Move closer to the city and it is rare and expensive. Our local shops stock it by the barrel load, a testament to the local Indian, Nepalese and Middle Eastern communities.
I had never cooked with Okra as much prior to shifting into this area. It shows just how much the stock in our shops influences our behaviour.
This is another Pachadi, a South Indian dish of yoghurt, okra and spices, a cooling and healthy dish. I have a few Okra pachadi dishes – each one is a little different.
Pachadi is the Sth Indian version of raita. And like raita, it can be made with almost any vegetable (not just cucumber).

Memorial Day dinner.
I have a Beyond Burger, with sausage, and some spicy air fried fries, all in a new bowl I got on clearance. It was tasty.
I don't eat Beyond products much, but they're a nice meatless treat for me to have. I'm immensely glad it exists.

#Cooking today:
Risotto with caramelized fennel, fried mushrooms and baby spinach.
Added chopped shallot for color.
Easy to make #vegetarian dish. Quite tasty and filling. I might add some more spinach to make it a little lighter next time.


From the Kitchen playtime this morning....
🍲 I was up early enough to put the soup on before other things got in the way. Today it is Butternut, Celeriac and (the rest of the) Jicama. The idea came from The French Market Cookbook, by Clotilde Dusoulier, but it is a fairly simple French soup so I had to up the ante with some warming spices and lots of herbs.
📚 I was a bit disappointed in this book when I got it quite a few years ago now. The recipes are overly simple. Dusoulier used to have a blog (https://cnz.to/), and this book was a spin-off from there. I bought it because I am attracted to Market cookbooks. Still, the book is perfect for inspiration.
🇮🇳 Later today I hope to have time to make Crunchy Chana Dal Patties with Coconut and Sesame Seeds (Masala Chana Bada) from The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking by Yamuna Devi. This book is huge, and a classic. Recipes never fail.
:pumpkin_tired: Yesterday I had a prep day. Brussels sprouts roasted with lots of lemon juice and almost the last of the home made cherry jam. Brussels are a little bitter, so they can take some tart sweetness (my jams are always on the tart side). They are delicious, and altho they are supposed to be used during the week, I couldn't help having a small bowl to myself.
:pumpkin_tired: The huge butternut from next door was cut yesterday. I roasted a pan full until caramelised for risotto later this week. Another 1/3 went into the soup. I have the base left. I can't help thinking I will clean it out, roast it and stuff it.
:pumpkin_tired: This is such a terrific pumpkin, I have savved the seeds, will clean them and plant next season.
:pumpkin_tired: Also, I pre-cooked some freekeh (also so delicious I snuck a couple of tablespoons) for a pilaf or salad, plus it makes great toppings for soups etc.
#FromTheKitchen #cookingAU #cooking #vegetarian #WhatIAmCooking #WhatIAmEating #WhatIAmCookingFrom
Some dinner I made yesterday, with some spicy Beyond sausage, and an air fried baked potato. Prepping a bit for my first Memorial Day as a vegetarian, and so far, so good.
I love making baked potatoes in the air fryer. They take a while, but come out super tasty and filling, especially when spread with olive oil.

To Tempt or Inspire .....
There are not many traditional cuisines in India that include soup, with an exception of shorba's in North India and Rasam's (not really a soup) in South India.
Indeed, many Indian people I have mentioned it to have averred there are no soups in India.
On one of my last trips, tho, we were served tiny cups of soup at the end of the meal - they were simple, unspiced morsels of deliciousness (and we'd often have 2 or more). A "shot" of soup, a bit like the tiny cups of chai on roadside stalls.
But the Goan Portuguese/ Catholic cuisine is another exception - there are simple, home-fare soups full of flavour. In fact you can say that the flavour goes beyond what you expect from the ingredients. These are cheap and every-day dishes, quickly and easily made, yet comforting and filling.
This #soup, Sopa de Legumes, is a vegetable soup that is pureed and then greens and dried legumes added – chickpeas or white beans or any dried pea or bean that you have on hand.
When I made this one, I used a stock that included mushrooms, so the dish is a little darker than normal. Usually it takes the colour from the vegetables you use – varying from white if only potatoes are used, to yellow-orange from carrots and pumpkin.
It is also probably meant to be eaten in small amounts, but I eat it Western style.
Honest, healthy, home-cooked deliciousness.

It is #MeatlessMonday so I am hyping up the protein with
⭐ Mashed Chickpeas with Turmeric, topped with olives, preserved lemon and eggplant Kasaundi. A Tunisian peasant dish, from Roden's Med, slightly twisted to what I have (Added the end of a jar of chipotle in adobo sauce, a couple of pieces of my dried tomatoes, and the eggplant Kasaundi is mine) ✅ ALL MADE AND DELICIOUS
⭐ My wonderful fennel, fava bean and red lentil soup, a wintery delight! Made with home grown/dried fava beans (aka broad beans) 🛒 Need to get some fennel.
⭐ Pasta (for a small amount of protein) with pesto from the freezer and chopped walnuts
⭐ Veggies include stuffed Okra, sauteed greens. Also probably picking up some Jerusalem artichokes from @collettell
🍽️ There will be leftovers for #LeftoversWednesday. 👯👯 One of the most exciting days of the week because it feels like a picnic. We often call it #GrazingDay.
🛒 Also need to get supplies for my home-made muesli. That'll be an afternoon or evening job to make.
#FromTheKitchen #WhatIAmCooking #vegetarian #MeatlessMondays #cookingAU #Cooking
One of my favorite lazy summer meals: pasta, roasted veggies, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper.
Veggies can be made in a batch in advance. Green asparagus, bell peppers & onions is my favorite combo, but you can totally vary with what you like. I often use zucchini and aubergines. Best way to use up left over/slightly sad vegetables.
Honestly, have you made these Vegan Sausage Rolls yet????? If not, even if you are not #vegan or #vegetarian, get onto it for healthy healthy food options. Make them for #MeatlessMondays.
This recipe has an international reputation. It is from the wonderful Melbourne-based Where's the Beef? couple who are NOT on Mastodon (leave them a message and tell them to get over here.)

Honestly, you can't tell them from the non-veg variety. This week I am making a batch for the freezer, for the times I just want take-away. A couple of sausage rolls and some good Aussie tomato sauce (or home made Kasaundi, or my tomato-chilli jam) - it is delicious heaven.
(They are even protein-heavy.)

Was talking with an acquaintance who is starting a catering business, and we had a difference of opinion about what counts as #vegetarian. I think that if rice is cooked in meat stock it isn't vegetarian, she thinks it is as long as you're careful to remove all pieces of actual meat from the final product.

Hey Mastodon #cooking, what's your favorite #vegetarian substitute for ground beef in texmex style food?

"Root veggies, certain tree fruits and nuts were all more than 200 times more climate-efficient by weight than beef."
what a ridiculous high number. and this is ONLY the ecological argument. there is the antibiotic argument, the animal ethic, the human health, land usage.... etc. pp.
animal farming lobby is evil in every aspect. they are actively destroying the environment and lives of countless beings.
I am conflicted by @mozilla content policies announcement. I appreciate that a lot of thought went into it, but I think they could be used to eliminate a lot of necessary social tension.
An example is their violent content policy: “Users may not share content that depicts abuse of humans or animals, or that includes excessively gory or violent imagery that…can disturb other users.“
I am a lifelong #vegetarian and I’ve been #vegan for 20 years. Photos of meat/dead animals disturb me. Am I to assume then that sharing this content will be banned in that instance? And if not, why not?
Also, nothing on who will be #moderating content. Is it volunteers, #Mozilla staff, external contractors??

My latest dispatch is out! Because of a conversation I had about AI-generated recipes, I wrote about trust we ascribe to recipes (and recipe writers). If that's not your thing, I've provided my recipe for Roasted Honey-Harissa Carrot Soup.

I think it might be the right time to retire the term "#vegan". Purely for practical purposes: To end the ambiguity in (English) language. I've been in so many situations when:
1) Food has been marked as "vg" (or similar) and I did not know which one is it
2) I said "vegan" and it has been understood as "#vegetarian"
Is there a _good_ replacement term we could use?

There is no higher recommendation than this book sits on my own shelves 😉 If you love Indian food but are intimidated by traditional recipes, this is the book for you. Not traditional but a modern take on Indian flavours and fresh ingredients.
You will want to cook every recipe in this book.

🧵 3/Fresh India/Meera Sodha
There is helpful information throughout the book, for example a few pages on key lentils and pulses, with a section that includes photos, descriptions, and treatment. It is not comprehensive - it would be good to see a book that does an extensive overview of Indian lentils, beans and grains - but it covers the ones used in this book.
There are some pages on Presentation Skills - such a good idea. I mean, how many of you know what to do when presented with a curry, dal, yoghurt, chutney/pickle, coconut flakes, fried shallots, and some crispy chickpeas to plate up? Now you know not only how to make them, but how to think about plating too.
Ditto for toppings such as crumbled dried rose petals, pomegranates, pistachios, cumin seeds, cashews and fried raisins.
Such a modern interpretation of wonderful, delicious, beautiful Indian techniques and cuisines.

🧵 2/Fresh India/Meera Sodha
The book is well put together but without an integrated bookmark - honestly a real "must" these days.
The paper is more glossy than not - not conducive to ink-pen notes as you cook. Best to use a standard biro. But the photos shine on this paper, looking fresh and inviting. And extremely tempting.
Each recipe indicates whether it is Gluten-free, Dairy-free and/or Vegan.
The book is divided up in several ways - the usual table of contents by ingredient/recipe type. But there are other Content pages. One, called Alternative Contents, has suggestions for first-timers, mid week meals, weekend cooking, lunches, from the pantry, for freezing and from the garden.
Another lists seasonal recipes.
The index seems sufficiently comprehensive including English recipe names, Indian names and key ingredients.
Sodha talks about her Gujarati heritage and its influence on her. Each recipe comes with a short story (a girl after my own heart - every recipe has a story associated with it).

COOKBOOK REVIEW
🧵 1/Fresh India/Meera Sodha
Meera Sodha has had a huge influence in modernising Indian food without putting too much of a BIR spin on it. (British Indian Restaurant style).
BIR is quite different from trad Indian food and heavily influenced by Nth Indian, Pakastani and Bangladeshi food. I've seen quite a few British writers of Indian background write as if BIR is authentic Indian cuisine.
Meera has taken that on, with her 3 main books and regular Guardian column. Her food is fresh and exciting. Moreover, 2 of her 3 main cookbooks are vegetarian! 😍 I have 2 of her cookbooks on my shelves. First up is:
Fresh India: 130 Quick, Easy and Delicious Vegetarian Reixpes for Every Day, by Meera Sodha
Published: 2016
Publisher: Fig Tree
Pages: 300
Price: $37AU but look around as prices vary. Cheaper for Kindle version
Recipes: 141 recipes, all vegetarian, and 134 are also egg-free :blobcatdance:
This is her second book, following on from Made in India. It is a fresh look at Indian food, with some surprising recipes - mushroom and walnut samosas, oven-baked onion bhajis and beetroot and paneer kebabs. There are familiar and classic Indian recipes like dals, curries and pickles, alongside less familiar ones using fresh seasonal ingredients, like Brussels sprout thoran, Gardeners' Question Time pilau and Green beans with cashew nuts and coconut.
They are all easy, perfect for every day and made using easy to find ingredients.

Pizza night. I didn’t have much mozzarella but was making ricotta, so I strained some out for a dryer farmer’s type cheese. Pretty good! Red onions, pine nuts, rosemary, and olive oil. #food #vegetarian
I've learned a lot more about cooking in the past few years, not only because the pandemic (although the it gave me a push), but just from a logistical standpoint. I'm work from home, and wifey has to drive over an hour to Phoenix every day (🙄).
I think that she likes that I'm now able to cook better and more often. As soon as I'm off work here at home, I start thinking of/making dinner. That's another big advantage of wfh. I can't imagine her driving over an hour to get home then having to make dinner. It doesn't make sense. Even though she is a GREAT cook. She taught me a lot. Like what things go together, etc. She's vegetarian now and we try to eat semi healthy (cutting sugar and fat just when we can), so I try to work all that in. Using odd leftover ingredients sometimes, experimenting- it's pretty cool, actually. Sometimes you feel like a mad scientist. 🤣
The most important thing probably to all of it is figuring out what ingredients you always need to have around, finding them at the best prices, and making sure you use them fast enough before they go bad- which is always tricky, especially with fruits and veggies.
I used to hate cooking (all I did before was eggs or microwaved stuff, really) and I think I kinda still do hate the process and effort (I'm not one of those people who gets a lot of gratification from stuff I've cooked, I barely like food 🤣🤣) but I gather up the energy required, and I enjoy knowing that
Having an air fryer has really helped, and I can't stress this enough. If you're on the fence, just get one. I use it literally daily. You can air fry all KINDS of things-- veggies, meat, it's incredible. Probably best not to totally cheap out on it though, as we've been through a few. Ours is a Ninja.
I also set up a Trello board with a bunch of meal ideas, after people on here gave me great advice- if you want to see that, it's here!

We do a little meal planning, as I also make her breakfast and pack her a lunch, as she puts on makeup/does hair in the morning, and again, it just makes sense. I don't need to look any certain way, I rarely leave the house!
This one got a little long. Maybe I'll throw it on Substack eventually? I'm not super active there (yet).

🍛 NEW RECIPE ALERT 🍛 Just added a delicious Cauliflower, Egg, and Potato Curry to my website! Perfect for vegetarians and packed with flavour. Check it out now and let me know what you think! #recipe #foodie #vegetarian https://cookrepository.com/cauliflower-egg-and-potato-curry/
Normally I buy a new brand of vegan cheese, try it once, it's basically okay but not amazing, and I forget about it until someone throws it out. <womp womp>
I just finished my first pack of "cheez": it's the Field Roast CHAO Creamery Creamy Original Plant-Based Slices. Oh mahh gaaawwwd, so delicious. So amazing in a grilled cheese or cheese toast situation. Please try if you're into this stuff.
What was the #vegetarian restaurant in #SanFrancisco called again? Made food that looked like meat stuff but used vegetarian ingredients? Wasn't far from Moscone and the #WWDC Night of Tofu was held there a couple times?
Y’all. This is #tofu. Yuba, to be precise. Fried tofu skins. What a vegan delight that my wife made.
So are there any good fake cheeses? I've got a blue cheese thing that's pretty OK.
I love cheese and so far my solution is "just do without" for the most part.

(accidentally typed "Vagan" which seems like it's probably something different)
Made a vegetarian version of 牛丼 (gyudon, beef bowl) tonight, with tofu instead of beef. Not vegan because I couldn't resist making the 温泉卵 (onsen tamago, hot spring egg) to go with it.
Originally these eggs were cooked in the water of hot springs, but with London sorely lacking in a good onsen, I had to make do with simmering it at 60 degrees for an hour. It results in a weird, fluffy, but quite nice soft egg.
And I got the most delicious (and expensive) あきたこまち akitakomachi rice from Akita prefecture, although you can't really see it here 😁

I think I've read a book or two by #Murakami that starts with the protagonist #cooking noodles and listening to music. So the soundtrack for today's dish – creamy Thai pasta, fresh noodles in coconut sauce with Kampott crunch, broccoli and bell peppers – is inspired by the author.

Very tasty #vegetarian dish. If I hadn't had to use butter instead of margarine this would have been #vegan even.
Clever extra: Pan-fried bread crumbs as topping for noodles in creamy sauce.
#Vegetarian #Cooking today:
Breaded camembert with fried apple.
Recipe slightly improved: I cut the apple slices thinner and also breaded some of them. Yummy.
I love to cook, esp with good products. I grow my own vegies in a garden full of bees and butterflies. I rarely cook a recipe twice (some exceptions allowed). I read cookbooks like others read novels. I love kitchens, especially country kitchens. It'll be the first room I ask to see when I come to visit. I have fond memories of the kitchens of both grandmothers.
I am a bit of a thinker and sometimes I write - including long posts here. In my spare time I think about food in terms of culture, change, connections. I am nervous about food security.
You will find my posts are often #FromTheGarden , #FromTheKitchen , and #LTCCookBookReviews.
I love the beauty and absurdness of our lives, and the gorgeous tapestry of humans.

So I tried making vegan hot dogs out of carrots. It involved simmering in soy sauce and spices, marinating overnight, then frying. They taste like carrots, and everyone has requested I never do this again. #vegetarian #food
Hey, Mastodon, I have a cooking question. Do any of you have favorite vegetarian baked ziti recipes WITHOUT any visible vegetables? (To be clear, vegetables that can be blended invisibly into a sauce are *fabulous*. I'm just aiming to find food that my kids will eat...)
Hi! #introduction I'm primarily a parent #unschooling kids.
I help organize #neurodivergent communities online and in person.
I'm a recovering #academic trying to figure out what all the #FeministTheory I loved means to me now, and an #activist for #decolonizing, #climate #DisabilityJustice #TransRights and #immigrationjustice.
And finally when I give myself a chance to #play I haphazardly bake, cook #vegetarian one-pot meals with whatever vegetable is in season, garden, and sing in #choir.
I think I have some German people in my network.
Can anyone recommend a great vegetarian/vegan place in Berlin?
#Vegetarian #cooking today:
Badridschani!
Georgian eggplant rolls, served with tomatoey lentil & spinach salad & pomegranate seeds.
Instead of the pomegranate seeds that were not delivered, I used pickled wild cranberries as topping, reduced the sweetness a bit with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Tasted good.
The walnut pesto filling of the eggplant rolls would make a fine dip for roasted bread or so, too.

#Vegetarian pizza — pistachios, red onion, rosemary, lotsa flake salt, olive oil, and two kinds of mozzarella on homemade #sourdough crust. #food #cooking
And the result :) (Spicy mushroom ramen with charred garlic pak choi.)
Mind you, my presentation could use some work :)

Do you want to find a #vegetarian or #vegan friendly place to eat at your location?
#OpenVegeMap is the best tool for the job!
The UI is not perfect, but it takes the data straight from #OpenStreetMap, so it's always updated and easy to update if you find something wrong.
I had a look at some restaurants already in OSM and checked the menu on their website. If they have veggie main course(s) I added that to OSM, and instantly they where available on OpenVegeMap.
