The bean liquid that we used to throw away turns out to be one of the most astonishing culinary discoveries of the decade. With its amazing egg-replacement abilities, miraculous “aquafaba” can be used as an egg-replacer to make everything from French toast to lemon meringue pie.
Zsu Dever’s upcoming Aquafaba is the first cookbook to explore the many uses for aquafaba in cooking and baking. Aquafaba can be used as a binder in both sweet and savory recipes and is a boon to vegans, people with egg allergies, as well as anyone interested in innovative cooking with a magical new ingredient.
Aquafaba, which was recently named one of the The Best Vegan Cookbooks to Look For In 2016 by Peta, is due in stores on October 4th. While you’re waiting patiently for your copy, we thought we’d share a sneak peek with you.
