i think this may take the crown for my favorite veganized dish i've ever figured out and i don't know why it's taken me so long to try lol
i was all of a sudden craving taiwanese braised beef noodle soup which is basically comfort food from when i was young so i tried braising king oyster mushroom (which was shredded) using the same method. the texture sorta is a little lacking but i think i'll play around with different stuff until i find something that works
recipe (for interested!)

Returning favorites included minimalist bakers' garlic roasted mac, hot for food's roasted cauliflower, and min baker's simple stuffing
I woke up at 10 and cooked from 11-6 but I only have to do this once a year so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For the bread, the stuff was imported straight out of Peter Reinhardt's The Bread Baker's Apprentice (a solid buy, gives you a good idea of what's going on in the recipe and what to look for (if only I knew the science a bit better!))
I got the mac and cheese recipe from , and the cauliflower stuff from
Those recipes look great! I'm especially curious about the cauliflower recipe, as well as the almond butter cookies.
I wish I could cook more fun things during school but I have only so much space in my section of the fridge here. Which I guess is part of the reason I love making bread - as I get so much food from stuff that doesn't take up much space
Have you thought about making risotto? I loooooveee making risotto. I've also been trying to make my own pasta too, but that unfortunately hasn't been going v well so far

I don't especially feel obliged to cook family meals for the holidays but if I don't, it makes me feel a bit excluded. Plus I like cooking so it's fun.
For Christmas eve I made Meera Sodha's and it went a bit meh because it was a bit too out there I think. Some people didn't like celeriac to begin with, others had never had peanut butter before, so it was a bit overwhelming for everyone. And that course came after oysters and foie gras so people's appetite wasn't there.
Christmas dinner went way better. I made this , served with turmeric and ginger rice and a . Everyone liked it, even people who weren't too keen on cauliflower.
These were also a big hit. I've made them with tahini and peanut butter instead of almond butter and they were great too.
So for next year, I think I'll try to cater to the crowd more by making stuff that's more traditional (in the European way). Also some people don't like certain vegetables, which is something that didn't even cross my mind (it just tells you how far removed from reality I am).

Do you guys ever feel an obligation to make food for big family holidays? I've had that mindset for this past Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with my family (~15-20 people), which can be a bit exhausting when it comes to testing recipes during the days leading up to the event and day-of preparation, but is, I think, one of the best ways to expose my family to parts of veganism. Does anyone else have a similar or different take on these sorts of things?
Also, if you do make things for large gatherings, what do you make? I found my family likes my garlic mac and cheese the most, but I'm likely ganna start baking more in the future.
Here's what I made yesterday:
top left, garlic mac; below, beetloaf; below, bread; right, pastries; above, roasted cauliflower w gravy; above, salad; above, garlic mac.
Bread! (left and right, baguettes; middle, olive ciabatta)
Pastries (left, croissants; middle, pain au chocolat; right, cinnamon rolls)

Broad beans: Ful (pronounced 'Fool')

Green Beans: I don't even know where to start with this one.
Butter Beans: The bean energy potato.
And yes you're right I put broad beans in twice but I stand behind my list. See 2.
