Harissa Brownies {Vegan, Gluten-Free}

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

Vegan Egg Substitutes

Vegan Egg Substitutes

When I first started writing my cookbook, I got pretty deep into the whole vegan egg substitutes scene. Oh, yeah, it’s a scene. So, here’s the thing about eggs: you might think of them as those little protein bombs that you eat for breakfast (and

Vegan Matcha Meringues #aquafaba

So… this Aquafaba stuff. You’d think that I’d completed experimenting with it while I was writing my cookbook, but it turns out I’m still discovering new ways to use it. I did quite a bit of experimenting with concentrating AF while researching the book. I

Life-Changing, Vegan, Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ugh. Gluten-free baking. I don’t know how you people do it! Give me vegan baking any day of the week… that stuff I get! But gluten-free? Nope. So much more complicated. In the past, I’ve pretty much defaulted to a gluten-free flour mix, but honestly,
