How to Make Aquafaba Meringues

By Denise Pare-Watson

Aquafaba is a unique bonus ingredient that not too many people know about.  I call it a bonus ingredient because it is something that most people discard like the heel from a head of celery or the skin of a cooking onion (both of which I keep and freeze and use in making soup stock).  Aquafaba is the liquid from a can of chickpeas, or beans or peas.  It is used as an egg substitute, and can be added to baking; for example: made into meringues.  Aquafaba can be whipped exactly like egg whites and can be used to make products where a meringue is called for such as amaretti cookies or lemon meringue pie.  In this post, I will teach you How to Make Aquafaba Meringues.

Easter Play

By Denise Pare-Watson

It is nearly Easter and I have had one of those weeks where I could not motivate myself to work on any type of demanding project despite my best intentions. An unexpected trip across Canada; a rainy day beckoning me to pull out the soup pot; a sunny afternoon inviting me to enjoy my coffee on the front deck all proved to be excellent distractions. Before I knew it, a new project landed in my lap! An urgent request for Easter cookies! Just the thing I needed to reenergize my creative spirit.  Easter Play!
