BAKING WITH NATURE'S PANTRY

Baking with plants isn’t difficult – it only requires a few different ingredients. Canned beans are a treasure when baking without eggs – the liquid that cooked beans are stored in, called aquafaba, behaves just like egg whites.

When choosing chocolate, read the ingredients list. Great chocolate should contain nothing more than cacao mass, sugar and cacao butter. Just avoid varieties that contain dairy. Try to use stoneground, unbleached flours without additives, as they have a lot more flavour and nutrients.

And, finally, only use fresh produce when it’s in season. Otherwise, turn to the bags of berries lovingly picked and then frozen when they were in season.
