Plant-Forward Living with Rebecca Coleman
Let’s face it, there isn’t much I haven’t tried to do with Aquafaba, and many of my efforts have been successful. I still haven’t mastered vegan choux pastry yet. Maybe that one isn’t doable? But the more I play with it, the more impressed I …
Now, not to sound like I’m totally fawning, but like many of you, I really love my Instant Pot. I got one at Christmas, and I have yet to put it away. It lives on my counter, and I use it a few times a …
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 …

There is a photograph of me, somewhere, in a dusty old album, probably at my dad’s place, a grinning 2-year-old, happily splashing in the surf at Long Beach near Tofino. We were there for a family vacation, and showed my true colours early—any time I …
I am Top Chef obsessed. Always have been. I’ve watched them all. My favorite, of course, were Top Chef Canada, because I loved seeing my local chefs (whose work I was a big fan of) shine on a national level. The Top Chef Canada franchise …
