I'm Jenna Edwards, a homecooking expert and certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I help people eat more vegetables through my cooking companion videos. My goal is to make you feel more comfortable cooking, so I show you not only how a recipe works and looks, but I give techniques and suggestions for making it easy on beginner cooks.

When you cook more at home, you're eating healthy and saving money. Cooking at home is a great date idea and a very special way to treat friends and family. As you cook more, it will become easier and quicker. I also show valuable cooking tips for freezing, preserving, and storing food.

Aquafaba is a vegan egg replacement using the water from cooking beans or canned beans. It is a direct egg replacement - you don't need any extra ingredients or alterations.

Vegan Pavlova (Eggless Meringues)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup aquafaba
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
125 g (2 cups) confectioners sugar (icing or powdered sugar)

Heat oven to 200f.
Make sure your mixing bowl, whisk, and all utensils are super clean and free from any residual oils. Don't use plastic bowls.

Whisk aquafaba on high until foamy and doubled in size, about 5 minutes. Add cream of tartar and whisk for another minute, until soft and fluffy. Gently and slowly add the sugar one spoonful at a time, making sure it's fully incorporated before adding the next spoonful. Whisk until glossy and stiff peaks begin to form.

Shape meringues with a spoon or with pastry piping.
Bake on low heat for at least 2 hours (for small meringues; 3 hours for bigger pavlova). Then turn off oven and leave meringues untouched for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Coconut Cream
Ingredients:
1 can full-fat coconut milk
2 tbsp confectioners/icing/powdered sugar
1.5 teaspoons (or more) vanilla extract

Place coconut milk in refrigerate for a few hours (ideally, when you start the meringue process). Open the can from the bottom, where the water will have settled. The cream will be solidified on top. Pour off the water and scoop the remaining cream into a bowl. Add sugar and vanilla. Whisk until preferred consistency is reached. Add more vanilla as desired.
