Plant-Forward Living with Rebecca Coleman
Gentle reader, please permit me to start with a bit of a rant. There are two words that are very similar, but describe two very different cookies. The first, macaroons (two o’s) describe coconut-based cookies that are relatively simple to make. The second, macarons (one Read more
Let me just paint you a picture. First, you have to think about caramel. Smooth, sweet, with a hint of darkness to it. Chunks of apples are drowned it it, bathed in it, until they take on that same caramel colour. Then all of it Read more
Recently, I was browsing about on the interwebz (as you do) and came across this article on The Hot Vegan Food Trends of the moment. Aquafaba is #1–yay! But there were a few others in there that piqued my interest, as well, like the “Goth Read more
