Elle mentioned not knowing what to do with... →

And I remembered this recipe for smoky sweet potato hummus. I haven’t actually tried it because chipotles in adobo is not particularly easy to get in Ireland, but it sounds amazing.

slow cooker chipotle tvp chili

Vegan sausages, made from scratch

So, I, too, forgot to take photos for this, but for reasons that I will elaborate on below, they didn’t exactly end up looking very appetising anyway. They were delicious, though! My girlfriend got a new cookbook recently that had something like this recipe in it. It was so simple that I didn’t even write it down. The short version is: 1x400g tin Cannellini Beans (although whatever...

vegan hummus (or hummous or humous or humerus)...

so i totally forgot to take any pictures of this but it’s easy you will need pizza crust/pizza dough/a pizza crust like object some hummus. enough to cover your pizza shaped thing. i had a decent sized (16”) pizza crust and used an 8 oz tub of aldi generic roasted red pepper hummus and it worked fine. vegetables. whatever you like, really. i used summer squash, zucchini, portabella...

ridiculously easy bread

irrationalignorance: justfuckingcookorwhatever: For non-Americans: the thing with a recipe like this is that it doesn’t actually matter what size cup you use (it took me a long time to figure this out) so long as you use the same cup for every ingredient. It’s all about proportions! this is maybe why everyone in my family laughs at me when i try to cook because i don’t know simple stuff like...

Spicy Scrambled eggs and gourmet baked beans

Yan told me I should submit this because I won’t shut up about it. Yan has never had it because he doesn’t like scrambled egg because he’s a freak. The gourmet baked beans are his mix. This makes enough for me for breakfast, you could share and eat more toast. I dunno, I’m not skinny ok? I wouldn’t eat all the beans but I put left overs into the fridge and eat...

ridiculously easy bread

Ok so this recipe is pretty shamelessly stolen from a cooking show on youtube that Steve Albini linked to on his food blog (I fucking know, right? Steve Albini! Food blog! Totally gonna steal some of his vegan/vegetarian recipes and post them here at some point) but from what I can tell, the chef basically tried to replicate some Tibetan bread by stealing a traditional Irish thing called griddle...

Spaghetti Bolognaise

justfuckingcookitorwhatever: Another recipe from a friend (sort of. She explains it). fionchadd: This recipe is not written by me, but I’m posting it in response to Yan’s (and more recently The Marriage Of a Dead Blog SING!’s) food blogging, which I love and want to see more of. It’s a recipe for Spag Bol, ULSAC style (ULSAC is my dive club. This particular recipe was borne of 10 days...

Notes on scrambled tofu

Because I’ve been scrambling tofu since Elen was still in denial about being lactose intolerant, damn it: If you use silken tofu instead of firm tofu, the texture will be a bit more like egg. Definitely use turmeric if you have it; that is what makes it yellow. Other spices, use whatever you like the taste of! For all my posturing, no matter how long I cook scrambled tofu for this way,...

fucking easy tofu scramble

tofu scrambles are great, i think this maybe took me 20 minutes to make. what you’ll need is: 1 block firm or extra firm tofu vegetables spices that will go well with the vegetables you chose. here’s what i put in mine: that’s 2 baby bella mushrooms, 3 or 4 sweet peppers, a large tomato, a handful of spinach, half an onion, and 3 green onions. obviously all...

SALADS: Not just for rabbits

Okay so it’s like, way too fucking hot to actually use the oven. I live in a tiny ass studio and that thing was basically a heater through the winter. What the heck am I supposed to do with all these vegetables I spent money I don’t have on? What’s that thing where you put them in a bowl and eat them raw… Salad? Oh yeah, this is a fucking salad post. You will need: ...

This was a submission from Frankih

justfuckingcookitorwhatever: But there doesn’t seem to be a way to post it directly, which makes no sense? Here it is, anyway. How to Make Grilled Cheese Sandwiches: Step 0: Desire grilled cheese. If you are like me, this will not be a problem. If this will be a problem for you, you are either a vegan (in which case these instructions will be useless to you) or there is something really,...

make some fucking vegan falafel! PART THREE:...

alright, finally! the actual falafel part of this three part series on falafel. i promise there are no ewoks. i’m not even sure what that joke means. okay. you know what? instead of like, actually writing this recipe out i’m just gonna link the one i used here and provide commentary. since i didn’t add anything to it really. i just used a recipe i found online. ...

make some fucking vegan falafel! PART TWO:...

tzatziki is just such a cool word! OKAY to start with, you’re gonna want to whip up a batch of handy dandy vegan mayo. or, you know, if you have some veganaise of some kind lying around, use that. if you aren’t actually vegan, don’t use real mayo, just google how to make regular tzatziki. so here are the ingredients: 2 cups of vegan mayo (im not actually sure what this would...

make some fucking vegan falafel! PART ONE: PITA...

REALLY SIMPLE PITA BREAD what you will need: 1 1/2 tsp yeast 1/2 cup (120 ml) warm water 3 (330 g) cups all-purpose flour 1 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar (i used white, probably doesn’t matter terribly as it is yeast food) 1 cup (240ml) slightly less than warm water sesame seeds! olive oil! soooo what you’re gonna wanna do is this (if you have ever made dough,...

just so you know!

DEAD EASY Vegan Mayo

so i needed some vegan mayo for some recipes i was going to make, and can’t really justify spending a gazillion dollars on a premade bottle of veganaise. also i hate fucking mayonnaise and think its disgusting but it’s a good ingredient or whatever. here’s how i made what i made! you will need: 1 12 oz. block of silken tofu (mori-nu is great and like $1.29 where i live) ...

Moar food blogging

justfuckingcookitorwhatever: thesefewpresidents: Lots of people liked it last time I did this, then I ended up not really cooking anything until now (I still live at home, and I was away for the weekend). I forgot to take a picture this time :( Anyway, I made some stir fry. Here’s the short version, like before: fry vegetables until they look done. add some spices and stuff. cook noodles. ...

thesefewpresidents: justfuckingcookitorwhatever: I will remember to take a photo to post. This is what I had for dinner tonight, and will be having for lunch tomorrow too: Gnochci with cream and broccoli What’s in the fridge? Fucking nothing again, thanks, parents. Go to the shop. They have Gnocchi, awesome! Gnochi is delicious. Get other vegetables for the week. Get home, consider what...

welcome to just fucking cook, or whatever.

this blog is a reboot of a cooking blog (with a better, albeit longer, name) set up by the lovely yan. we aim to be your source for half-assed and probably vaguely confusing recipes (that will likely be mostly vegan/vegetarian) please enjoy! or, you know, whatever.

windsdarkpoem: justfuckingcookitorwhatever: I just remembered I had a delicious sandwich for lunch today. Cut bread. Get stuffed vine leaf (dolmades, right?) and squash it onto one piece of bread. Trust me, this is delicious. I got the idea from these Turkish wraps I got, where they stuck felafel and vine leaves in, and crushed them a bit to spread them around. Cut tomato, cucumber, put on...

Lentil Stew Thing

justfuckingcookitorwhatever: Damn, I meant to post about this sooner, I hope I can still remember how I made it. There is a photo for this one, I’ll add it in later. I started off vaguely intending to make chili, but that’s not really how it worked out. Not least because I drastically overestimated how hot the chili I added was. Put lentils in a bowl and cover with water. Leave overnight. This...
