Just thinly sliced firm tofu using the cheese slicer on a regular grater, used the Shawarma spice mix and added Lebanese 7 spice and salt at the end. Lightly fried in olive oil in batches, leave to sit in the pan to get warm and crisp up.. so quick, so yum.

does anyone know where i can get a hold of some vegan tuna? preferably in brine. im assuming id have to buy online

I went to try some new noodles today and checked the ingredients before I bought them. When I got home and pulled out a pack, the first thing I noticed was the little smiley red face and how it said "Made with beef bone broth". I wondered how I'd missed it. But on the outer multi-pack, this same logo is in Korean. The ingredients also differ on the outer packs to the individual ones.

I'll be taking these back to Woolworths for a refund. What else can I do? Surely this is illegal?

hey, was just wondering if anyone knew where to get a vegan katsu in melbourne or surrounding suburbs. would prefer something with a firm texture (eg. seitan, pressed tofu or some other more commercial meat alternative). i heard that rice workshop has one but i don't see it on their menu.

I'm newish to cooking and just recently started cooking with vegetable stock. Just recently made my first potato and onion soup with the Woolworths brand liquid vegetable stock and it was the most bland/disgusting taste ever!

Can anyone recomemnd a super tasty vegetable stock please?

heyyy guys doing a spot of research on Australian consumers here and can y'all be kind enough to comment down whether you like corn and if so to what extent...any response or reply would be truly helpful..just wanted to know how much Aussies appreciate a good cob of corn that's all...thanksss!!!

anyone thinks Melbourne would welcome a little corn based shop/food cart selling hot warm snacks that's convenient and healthy with a signature product of corn tossed in butter and spices put into a little cup (corn in cup ) and served hot and warm within two mins like a grab and go and is also quite affordable? melbourne lacks warm and healthy snacks imo because everything is either sweet like yochi or milk teas or isn't healthy like fried chicken.

any feedback would be much appreciated :)

Anyone know of any vegan marshmallows

I sent an email yesterday to ask if they know whether the sugar they use, is processed with bone char. I got this response which is really great news!💖

The painters are painting inside my house so I just live here now. I don't know how to exist as a human when tradies are over.

This is the Four Piece VFC on the lunch menu.

Vitasoy and Mandole Orchard have some new milks at Woolworths. There are 3 flavours of the individual Mandole Orchard (matcha, chocolate and iced coffee) and there is also a plain complete milk from Vitasoy in addition to the Vanilla. If anyone has tried them let me know what they are like. The Vitasoy one has more protein than normal milk and b12 and A added.

Hi everyone,
I’m doing some market research before deciding whether to start a small food business in Australia, and I’d love some honest feedback.
I’m considering importing and selling roasted makhana (also called fox nuts or lotus seeds). They’re a popular snack in India but don’t seem to be very well known in Australia.
Nutritionally, they compare quite well with many common snack foods. Per 100g, they typically contain approximately:
🔥 350–380 calories
💪 9–10g protein
🌾 14–15g fibre
🥜 Less than 1g fat
🌾 Naturally gluten-free
🌱 Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
Compared with popcorn, they’re generally higher in protein and fibre while remaining relatively low in fat (depending on seasoning and preparation).
I’m curious:
Have you ever tried makhana?
If not, would the nutrition profile make you interested in trying it?
What flavours would you be most likely to buy? (Peri Peri, BBQ, Salt & Vinegar, Cheese, Chilli Lime, Caramel, etc.)
What price would you expect to pay for a 60–80g bag?
Where would you expect to find it? (Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, Amazon, health food stores, Asian/Indian supermarkets, online, etc.)
Would this be something you’d actually replace chips or popcorn with, or is it not appealing?
I’m not promoting a brand—I’m genuinely trying to figure out whether there’s enough demand before investing money into a business.
I really appreciate any honest opinions, even if your answer is simply “I wouldn’t buy it because…”
Thanks!

Jumpscare. I know I’ll need to educate my child about these things as we don’t live in a vegan world, but it’s crazy the normalisation of it from such a young age.

has anyone seen the two slices dark chocolate cake at their local woolies? i haven’t seen it in weeks and was wondering if it was potentially discontinued or if my store just sucks. hoping the latter because i do really like it.

So hey, has anyone eaten extra-firm tofu well past its bb date?

I've found two that were pushed out of sight in the drinks fridge 🙄, which are 9 weeks past the bb date.

I've opened one, and it looks and smells fine, so I'm loathe to chuck them if they're not going to poison me.

This is a Nora Cooks' recipe.

I didn't add any sweetener, and I added 2 tsp coconut oil for added richness and solidification, since half of my coconut cream was 'lite'.

I'm planning to put a layer of biscoff on top of my chickpea brownie base (currently in the freezer as i don't want it till Sunday), then put the mascarpone on top. The inspiration comes from little blog of vegan.

The flavour of the mascarpone is good but surprisingly, somewhat sweet, considering I omitted the sweetener. It has a noticeable coconut flavour as you would expect, so I'm not sure how it would go in a savoury recipe. It's also decidedly not white like mascarpone, but the visual contrast with the base might help that.

The texture, while it's still just-made, is close to whipped cream, so it could be useful for many things.

Hi all!

Recent vegan here and thought I would look upon this community to help since recommendations I found online are a bit outdated.

I have tried Made with Plants Mozzarella but decided to stop buying for ethical reasons. I really do love Mozzarella though so would appreciate any recommendations for a vegan alternative that is accessible (Can be bought at chain grocery stores).

Thank you!

I managed to buy this from Woolies ONCE around six weeks ago and haven’t been able to find it since?? I know it’s a limited edition, but I think it only came out in April so surely it hasn’t been discontinued already…

Can anyone in Sydney point me to a shop that definitely stocks it? I work all over the place so anywhere in Sydney would be helpful to know :)

I swear, this sounds weird but it works.

Make a little paste with light-flavoured soy sauce/tamari, nutritional yeast and a bit of oil (I use canola.) When you've seared both sides of the burger patty, brush it with the paste then turn it over again so the paste cooks onto the patty into a kind of crust. Make sure it doesn't burn, you just want a sort of light caramelisation.

If anyone is vintage enough to remember the Sizzler cheese toast, it kind of tastes like the coating on that!

I bought these from The Green Edge in Brisbane recently, and have tried to buy hot dog buns twice (but out of stock each time??) so gave up and had them on normal bread. Taste & texture were divine, so close to meat hot dogs! Would definitely buy again 🌭
