Vegan Lavender Aquafaba Meringues Ingredients • 1 can chickpeas or white bean, with the liquid (aquafaba) • ½ tsp. cream of tartar • ¾ cup white sugar • 1 tbsp. food grade lavender flowers • Food coloring, optional. Steps 1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Prepare two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper, and set aside. 2. Drain the liquid from the chickpeas, preserving the liquid. Measure out ½ cup of the chickpea liquid (aquafaba), and reserve the rest of the liquid and chickpeas for a different use. Add the ½ cup of aquafaba and the cream of tartar to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, and mix for about 5 minutes, until it is becoming stiff. While the aquafaba whips, place your sugar and lavender in a food processor and process until finely ground. 3. Add the sugar to the whipping aquafaba, one heaping tablespoon at a time, waiting 1-2 minutes before adding the next tablespoon. After all the sugar is added, your meringue should be maintaining stiff peaks- if not, whip a while longer. 4. Pipe or spoon the mixture into 2-inch rounds on the prepared baking sheets- if using food coloring, combine 8 drops blue with 6 drops red for a lavender color. Drip a little down the side of the piping bag before filling to achieve purple swirls. 5. Bake in the preheated oven for around 2 hours. At that time, check for doneness by removing one cookie from the oven and letting it cool. If it is hard and crunchy, turn off the oven and let the rest of your cookies cool in the oven for an additional hour. Take all the cookies off the baking sheet, and store in a dry, airtight container. Recipe from Very Vegan Val (https://veryveganval. com/) .

Growing Trend of Veganism in Metropolitan Cities: Emphasis on Baking
GROWING TREND OF VEGANISM IN METROPOLITAN CITIES: EMPHASIS ON BAKING 1 2 *Kritika Bose Guha and Prakhar Gupta 1Assistant Lecturer, Institute of Hotel Management, Kolkata , 2Student, Institute of Hotel Management Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition, Pusa, New Delhi [email protected] ABSTRACT Background: Veganism is a new food trend is gaining momentum in India. A diet based on large quantities of fruit and vegetables has a positive impact on our health. A vegan diet is based on plants and has increased in popularity over the recent years. Health is the most central reason for choosing a vegan diet. Meat free diets in India can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization, and Indian culture shows a great respect for animals in various cultural texts. Every major Indian religion viz. Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism encourage ahinsa that is non-violence toward other living beings. In modern India bakery products have made a way into our homes. Cakes, Breads, Puddings, Pie etc. are a common thing which can be now found in every household list. The challenge is each of these products contain animal based product and people who are following veganism cannot consume them. Vegan baking is a challenge because of the use of various products like eggs, milk, etc. in normal recipes. Several Chefs and companies are working on products that are vegan. Everyday more substitutes are coming and Market is growing with a steady pace. Objective: To study and find out the trend of vegan baking in Metropolitan Cities of India and spread awareness about Vegan Baking. Methodology: The study was conducted by a random sampling survey from cities Kolkata and Delhi, taking the opinions of consumers through a self-designed questionnaire who have opted for Veganism, & their needs.

What Is Aquafaba? Aqua Means Water and Faba Means Beans – It Is the Liquid Or Juice That You Strained out of the Can of Chickpeas and Threw Down the Drain
What is Aquafaba? Aqua means water and faba means beans – it is the liquid or juice that you strained out of the can of chickpeas and threw down the drain. It is also the liquid left from cooking those dried chickpeas. According to Wikipedia: Aquafaba is the name for the viscous water in which legume seeds such as chickpeas have been cooked. It has the ability to mimic functional properties of egg whites in cooking. It is especially useful by people who need to avoid eggs. Who found this out? A French musician vegan Joel Roessel discovered the liquid could be whipped and began blogging about it. Goose Wohit then developed a successful formula for a meringue and was amazed that it could be a suitable egg substitute in recipes. It was perfect for vegan chefs. How do you use it as an egg replacer? Do not whip it. Use 3 Tablespoons of the bean liquid for each egg; 2 Tablespoons for 1 egg white, 1 Tablespoon for 1 egg yolk. Then you can use it in cookies, breads, brownies, burgers, or other recipes. Whip it to make a fluffy foam and create meringues, fluffy desserts like chocolate mousse, whipped cream, or even ice cream with no eggs or dairy. Refer to youtube.com to see how easy it is to make these vegan recipes. For more information See: http://dish.allrecipes.com/aquafaba/ or https://minimalistbaker.com/a-guide-to-aquafaba/ Can the aquafaba liquid be saved? Yes, it freezes very well. Use ice cube trays and then just pop out the cubes as you need them.

Dissertation Advisor: Michèle Lamont Author: Nina Gheihman Veganized: How Cultural Entrepreneurs Mainstreamed a Movement Abstract In the last few years, veganism transformed from a marginalized animal rights movement into a mainstream lifestyle. This shift occurred through the promotional work of change agents called cultural entrepreneurs. Drawing on over 150 interviews with these movement leaders, I describe three archetypes that emerged inductively from the analysis: Icons (image entrepreneurs), Informers (knowledge entrepreneurs), and Innovators (market entrepreneurs). Collectively, cultural entrepreneurs sacrifice ideological purity in pursuit of popularity. However, they are both enabled and constrained by the national contexts in which they are embedded. I compare the United States with two “shadow cases” that represent barriers to (France) and openings for (Israel) cultural diffusion.

Plant-Based Egg Alternatives: Optimizing for Functional Properties and Applications
Plant-based egg alternatives: Optimizing for functional properties and applications Miranda Grizio, M.S. Liz Specht, Ph.D. Research Fellow, Senior Scientist, The Good Food Institute The Good Food Institute Executive summary Demand for plant-based alternatives to meat, egg, and dairy products has grown significantly in recent years across many food categories and applications. This trend has been driven by many factors including allergenicity, sustainability, and consumer shifts towards flexitarian diets. This paper serves as a resource for those developing new plant-based egg alternatives and for those seeking to incorporate egg alternatives into a variety of food products. It provides a roadmap of the various alternatives that exist, the functional properties they provide, and the relative importance of these functionalities across various applications. While many options with attractive economic and performance impacts exist at commercial scale for replacing eggs in food product categories ranging from baked goods to beverages to condiments, there is still room for additional innovation to expand the functional palette of these egg alternatives. For example, cost and scale are still limiting factors preventing more mainstream adoption of stand-alone plant-based products that seek to recapitulate the full functionality and sensory experience of eggs. The molecular insights underpinning the functional properties of eggs outlined in this paper inform opportunities to address these needs utilizing novel plant-based sources, as well as for drawing inspiration from other biological domains such as algae and fungi. We anticipate that demand for plant-based egg alternatives will only continue to grow, and food manufacturers will be well positioned in this shifting market landscape if they proactively embrace plant-based egg alternatives across their product offerings.

Sophie Saget 1,* , Marcela Costa 2, David Styles 2,3 and Mike Williams 1 1 Department of Botany, School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, D02 PN40 Dublin, Ireland; [email protected] 2 School of Natural Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor LL57 2DG, UK; [email protected] (M.C.); [email protected] (D.S.) 3 Bernal Institute, School of Engineering, University of Limerick, V94 T9PX Limerick, Ireland * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Consumers are increasingly asking for foods that are healthier, more humane, and envi- ronmentally sustainable. Recently, chickpea cooking water—aquafaba—has gained popularity as a potential egg substitute that complies with these criteria. However, research on the environmental impact of this ingredient is lacking. We performed a comparative attributional life cycle assessment (LCA) of mayonnaise made with aquafaba as the emulsifying agent, and traditional mayonnaise made with egg yolk. The vegan mayonnaise was found not to be as environmentally sustainable as the egg-based product. The vegan mayonnaise had a signiﬁcantly (p < 0.05) lower impact across 4 categories, but a signiﬁcantly higher impact across 8 categories out of 16, including climate change and resource-use-energy-carriers. The majority of categories under which vegan mayonnaise un- Citation: Saget, S.; Costa, M.; Styles, derperformed were related to the electricity needed for aquafaba processing.
