Mariangeles top tips for baking
“Following a recipe is easy, but cooking with patience and care is essential. Above all, it’s important to keep an eye on the cooking temperature and the timing.”
“My advice for vegan and gluten free baking is that firstly you should always use good quality gluten free flour such as (sarraceno), corn or almond. Secondly, you can replace egg with banana, chia (1 spoon of chia seeds mixed with 3 spoons of water), or flax (1 spoon of ground flax seeds with 3 spoons of water).
