Can I Make My Parents' Favorite 3-Course Meal Vegan?

[@ipod4316]

Cute when your dad asked if the cheesecake filling was a nut paste and then started to giggle a little. He probably read the comments on the Mac and cheese video where people were pointing out how he was guessing nut paste as the base for all the mac and cheese dishes 😁🤭

[@frank-gavinmoratalla7942]

Mums are tough, whenever I veganize a meal for my folks, my dad is always very impressed, I sometimes think he’s more impressed by the fact that he likes it so much, but I’ll take the credit anyway. My mum on the other hand is a little tougher in her critique, but it’s always constructive.

[@patty1247]

Yeah Dads always think vegan food is going to be the worst thing in the world and then they enjoy it. Lol

[@xenithsanguine]

Sadly my parents are super tough. My father is a "macho" biker type. When I veganize something for him he always likes the taste, but doesn't end up eating it. Thinking it will make him a "soy boy" or something. Social conditioning is such a funny thing.

[@haileys5224]

@@patty1247 lol my brother and father will clown on me while I cook, then when I am finished eyeball what I made until I offer them a bite. They always end up wanted to eat whatever I make, but they still tease me over the plant based substitutions I make.

You cooking for your parents is probably my favorite thing. I appreciate their honesty, like it’s good but they prefer it firmer or it’s not as creamy. Your dad seemed genuinely pleased with the meal. My father wouldn’t touch half that stuff with a ten foot pole!

[@Equinox1.5]

Yes, I liked that too. They were kind but honest as well. The scallop pasta looked utterly delicious. I had vegan scallops in a restaurant a few years ago and couldn't work out what they were made from. I thought it might be salsify but now reckon it was probably oyster mushroom. Delectable.

[@samanthaweiss867]

Everything looked incredible, except the ganache. That was way too lumpy/mushy. Next time, try using a vegan creamer. Heat it up on the stove for a bit until it's simmering, then pour that over chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute or two, then mix until you have a glossy, smooth ganache. If you've never tried coffee rich non-dairy creamer, I HIGHLY recommend! It is perfect for chocolate ganache and such a good milk/cream substitute!

[@Wwhipped_Ccream]

Was looking for someone to say it

[@AwkwardMr]

I was thinking the same but going to suggest just doing a water-ganache. Sounds just wrong because most of us will be used to seeing water and chocolate destroying one another when mixed, but chocolatier Paul A. Young demonstrates how to easily make water-ganache to make truffles, decorate cakes etcetc.

[@sanjhshi4123]

Canned coconut milk works just fine. Just microwave it till it's hot and add chopped chocolate chunks. Stir and it's good to go. You can refrigerate it and it will set(on cakes) . No difference in taste ( I'm not vegan and I made that before... it was great)

[@sanjhshi4123]

If you want it to be glossy, Then add some butter (1 tablespoon)

[@netowner666]

I think she just heated it for too long, but what a great suggestion!

I was a little surprised when you said, your parents would not feel safe going to a restaurant, what I understand a 100%, don't get me wrong!! But here in Europe going to a restaurant isn't even an option and just seems completely absurd at the moment.
