    It really is awful. I mistook the avocados for overcooked brussel sprouts.

    Vegan cheeses are made from a variety of plant foods, including nuts, soy, seeds and root vegetables, and come in almost as many styles and flavors as dairy cheese

    This one looks a lot better... But....


    Pick one up from the freezer section...

    Looks about as appetising as a Joe 90 sprout.

    Could not agree more, but one vegan dish blew my mind. One of the best chocolate cakes I ever had. Super moist.

    That's what I thought also.

    Really?

    Looks like avocado added after baking to me.

    I don't think anything's been roasted.

    Ah....baked vs. roasted....what is the break point between the two? Is is language or actual cooking technique?

    I can "roast" cherry tomatos under high heat under the top element in my oven for 15 minutes or "bake" a pizza under the same conditions in the same time?

    Hmmmm.......

    FTFY

    It's a bit of both. There are those who insist that if it's cooked in an oven, then it's baked; however, the consensus seems to be that applying this to lamb is taking the principle a little too far.

    I just asked someone who ought to know, and he said "basting." A boring conversation ensued....

    Roasting may or may not take place in an oven, but if it does, the item roasted must first be basted; otherwise, it's not roasted, it's baked. If the roasting does not take place in an oven, then basting is not a requirement, because, "chestnuts baking on an open fire" is just bollocks, really. HTH

    My first thought was that roasting would have an application of an external layer of oil/fat. Went and had a quick look and got this:

    Structure of the food: This is the primary factor that sets these cooking methods apart. Roasting involves cooking foods that already have a solid structure before the cooking process begins (think: meat and vegetables). Baking involves that foods that lack structure early on, then become solid and lose their “empty space” during the cooking (think: cakes and muffins).


    Temperature: Various sources note that the temperature setting on the oven also distinguishes these two cooking method. Roasting requires a higher temperature (400°F and above) to create a browned, flavorful “crust” on the outside of the food being cooked, while baking occurs at lower oven temperatures (up to 375°F).


    Fat content: While many baked goods contain fat within, an outer coating of fat, such as vegetables or meat brushed with olive oil, is an indicator of roasting.


    Covered pan: Roasting is typically done in an open, uncovered pan, while items that are baked may be covered.

    What's the difference between a roast or baked potato, for example? Whether they're covered or not? Whether they're cooked at 375 0r 400 degrees?

    Of course not: it's whether or not they're cooked in fat.

    Maybe the whole thing is way more complicated than that and I'd never realised...but I don't think so.

    Also baked potatoes are whole and roast potatoes are cut up.

    These are the instances where semantics come into play.
