Vegan Peanut Butter Mousse #Aquafaba

Bean juice! It never fails to amaze me. Yup, even after writing an entire cookbook about it, every single time I whip some up in my stand mixer, it still feels like a miracle that I can make meringue with a waste product. Okay! So Read more

Portugese Tarts In Vancouver

Portugese Tarts In Vancouver

Last summer, when I was in the UK, I was staying with my friend Jeremy about an hour outside of London in Brighton. I set aside one day to take the train in and explore my favourite places in London; I had lunch at Nopi Read more

Amaretti Cookies {Vegan}

Amaretti Cookies {Vegan}

This is my second cookie recipe this week, both of which feature aquafaba. When I was doing research for this recipe, I had to go a bit further afield–Commercial Drive to be exact. I hadn’t had amaretti cookies in quite some time. They may not Read more

Coconut Macaroons {Vegan & Gluten-Free}

Coconut Macaroons {Vegan & Gluten-Free}

Which Piping Bag Works Best?

Which Piping Bag Works Best?

Vegan Mayo {Aquafaba}

Vegan Mayo {Aquafaba}

Vegan Broth — Vegetarian Soup Stock

Vegan Broth — Vegetarian Soup Stock

Over the last few years, bone broth has become a huge thing in the wellness and paleo communities. Here’s the thing, though; that stuff is made from bones, which, clearly are not something that I eat. So, health benefits or no; bone broth is not Read more

Purple Panna Cotta {Vegan}

Purple Panna Cotta {Vegan}

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

Veganizing Julia Child: Mushroom Bourguignon

Veganizing Julia Child: Mushroom Bourguignon

Find Julia Child’s Vegan Apple Tarte Tatin here. I have long been a fan of Julia Child. I admire her immensely, because she was a pioneer in her field. Before Julia, there were very few female cookbook authors, and there were no TV chefs. She Read more
