Summer Fruit Aquafaba Pavlova
June 18, 2020
A pavlova is an airy cloud of meringue cradling fresh cream and fruit. It is named for ballerina Anna Pavlova, a childhood idol of mine, because it embodies lightness and effortlessness.

You can make use of whatever fruit you have in abundance. Tart fruits…

Red Velvet Truffles
December 19, 2019
Most red velvet purchased today gets its colour from loads of unhealthy food colouring. Traditionally, beetroot was used to create the lovely reddish-chocolate hue! For these creamy-and-dreamy Red Velvet Truffles, I used Salus Red Beet Crystals. These crystals are a staple in my pantry and add amazing nutrients and antioxidants with only a mild sweet & earthy flavour. Don’t let the avocado in here scare you off! Avocado and cacao are a match made in heaven. Even if you think…
