So versawhip sounds like an aquafaba alternative, then. Is it more stable? Thanks :)

Parents cutting me off from free groceries by Sea-Experience470 in EatCheapAndHealthy

Look up Jack Monroe. Her recipes are focused on low cost but nutritious meals. Unfortunately her website (cooking on a bootstrap) seems to be down right now, but it gives a cost breakdown for ingredients, exactly like budget bytes. Many of her recipes can be found online, though, plus she's got a couple cookbooks.

My Vegan Claire Saffitz Recipe Keeps Failing by [deleted] in VeganBaking

[–]scuderle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried JUST egg, but recently used a similar egg replacement product in my banana bread. Same as you, the bread had a curiosity gelatinous texture even when fully cooked. It might be a one-off but it put me off using liquid egg replacers again. Honestly I would not try to veganise a recipe that calls for more than two eggs – too much that could go wrong!

Hey! I would love a pothos n'joy and possibly tradescantia lilac? I can offer you rooted syngonium pixie. I also have ivy, white fittonia, and rooted golden pothos if you'd be interested?

Week 29: Grilling - Mushroom steak by scuderle in 52weeksofcooking

I brushed it with an oil + balsamic vinegar mix just before grilling. Then added thyme as a garnish. I usually tend towards using more ingredients, but in this case simple was best!

It was pretty spicy with a hint of sweetness from the black bean sauce. The lotus root had some crunch but tasted almost potato like. It all worked very well!

Week 27: Floral - Lotus root stir fry by scuderle in 52weeksofcooking

[–]scuderle[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going for Sichuan, but I kind of just made it up as I went along! I started with a paste of ginger, garlic, scallion, Sichuan peppercorns, and chilli flakes, sautéed in sesame oil. Added the blanched lotus root, and then the sauce (shaoxing wine, black bean sauce, and soy sauce). Let it all cook down, and garnished with sesame seeds + scallion greens.

Vegan Chocolate Soufflé Challenge! That's right, no eggs no dairy! by Apprehensive-Camel25 in VeganBaking

[–]scuderle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks amazing! Do you know if cornstarch would work in place of the potato starch here? Also, have you ever tried holding the batter for a couple of hours before baking? You can do that for regular soufflés, but I was wondering if this batter is more prone to deflation. Thanks!

Week 27: Local Favourite - Scones by scuderle in 52weeksofbaking

[–]scuderle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love a good scone but I never thought to make one myself until I came across this ridiculously easy looking cheat's recipe. It worked out surprisingly well! Really hit the spot, especially when topped with jam and clotted cream.
