Hi and welcome! Thanks for your posts - the food looks amazing!

Can I ask you to please not use brand names when describing your food? It’s one of the rules here. No issues with posting food made with the products, but we don’t want to promote brands. Thanks!

Question: if I’m explaining I made something with beyond beef, or used Miyokos cashew mozzarella, etc. would that be a violation? I don’t want to promote the brand, but I also know brands are not at all interchangeable, Miyokos is going to be different than Violife, and Beyond is going to be different than Gardein, so if I want to share a recipe sometimes it seems like brand has to be specified to be reproducible. That said, I’m 100% on board with the anti-corporate mission and I don’t want to promote any brands in particular (I see it as an unfortunate side-effect in my case, if that makes sense).

Hi!

Here is my take: this is not intended to be a recipe site, it’s intended to share what you have cooked. Maybe posts with that level of detail would be better suited to c/recipes ?

I’m not trying to discourage people from sharing how they cooked something in this community if that’s what they would like to do. I am suggesting this as a way to keep this space brand free while not discouraging your contributions.

What do you think?

I was asking more in the context of responding to a question, if someone is asking for how I made something whether it’s OK to mention brands in my responding comments.

I don’t mention brands in original posts, that’s easy for me (I’m usually just sharing photos, not recipes).

Vegan Home Cooks

!homecooks@vegantheoryclub.org

Create post

Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!

Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.


This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.

We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.

This forum is not a “food porn” community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don’t care about its instagram worthiness.

Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.


Rules

1. Be Vegan.

If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.

2. Post home cooking.

No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.

3. Join the Discord

We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.

4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.

While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.

5. Do not use trademarked brands

Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.

6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)

We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we’re excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn’t required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.

7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.

Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.

8. Grown Ups Only.

Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn’t a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.
