In anticipation of the coming cold weather I made a sausage and mushroom stew. The sausages are homemade seitan.

I have a chia seed pancake recipe that I love. It is pretty basic: flour, chia seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, almond milk, maple syrup (in the batter) and vanilla extract. But it also includes a small about of apple cider vinegar. I've looked at other recipes and they all include the vinegar. I can't tell that it does anything to the taste, so I'm guessing it must play a role in the overall chemistry. Can someone smarter about food (maybe @Louisa or @nsmckinnon) tell me what it does?
I have no issue with it. I'm not looking to remove it or substitute for it. I'm just curious about its purpose.

Thanks.

I'm in a very short term rental house in the town where I grew up. Hanging out with my husband, his sister, and my 94 year old stepdad. I cooked a barley casserole, which I consider to be a somewhat boring recipe, but my stepdad loved it. This is a happy night for many reasons. #vegan #willcooks

I haven't been able to cook at home in weeks because of travel and all the house issues. For my first meal I went with a basic recipe that is comforting to cook as well as to eat: stewed tofu with mushrooms, potatoes and miso gravy.

Penne with vodka sauce. And some garlic knots to use up the extra pizza dough from last night.

I made muttar paneer for dinner. #vegan #willcooks

The spice blend for tonight's dinner of mutter paneer. I make the recipe #vegan by substituting lightly fried tofu for the paneer and using a cashew cream in place of sour (or heavy) cream. #willcooks

We had people over for a mini dinner party/taco bar. I made a lot of #vegan fillings and a guest brought some dairy. I missed taking pictures, but it's really ok if I don't photodocument everything #willcooks. After dinner we watched Come From Away. One couple hadn't seen it before. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening.
