Cooking & Baking

It works best with an immersion blender. Just take the aquafaba from a can of beans (I usually use garbanzos but you can use any aquafaba), then drizzle extra-virgin olive oil as you blend. The AF whips and before long, the olive oil brings it together. You can add a pinch of salt if you like, and a tiny pinch of turmeric for colour if you want it yellow.

Many recipes add refined coconut oil so the end result is more firm and can be cut into sticks like you’d buy in the store. You can also add a splash of apple cider vinegar.

If you don’t know what aquafaba is, it can be used as an egg replacer, to make vegan mayonnaise, to-die-for chocolate mousse, meringues, and tons of other things. It’s an amazingly versatile thing to keep around (I freeze what I can't use for emergencies), and can even be brushed on breads to keep seeds from popping off (as in they’re STUCK and won’t fall off).

Pinterest is the best go-to for ideas.
