    chef at work made a vegan rice pilaf that looked like someone said the word “mirepoix” at the pan. also a vegan jambalaya that was like, a sad collection of squash and well oxidized eggplant with a sprinkling of canned diced tomato which formed dried flakes over top

    sorry those who ate it, i did not have the time to make a better one u_u

      It’s kind of impressive how otherwise good chefs forget how to cook the moment they’re asked to leave out meat, milk, and eggs. There are already a bunch of dishes that are already accidentally vegan! Like spaghetti aglio e olio! Most bean dishes! Cook something like that!

        I think it was mostly just that he was in a rush like he was just trying to help me get it all done by the needed time. But like, idk, I could have done better if I were workin’ on it. And I think eggplant was just a bad choice because it looked gross after cooking. Needed a thicker tomato sauce imo to cover it lol
