I tried making croissants using the NYT Cooking’s recipe… (vegan)

Crispy Air Fryer Coconut Crusted Tofu Bites (vegan)
Cooking tofu in the air fryer may be my favourite method because it makes the breading super crispy without being greasy and the circulation of hot air in the fryer basket helps remove some of the excess moisture in the tofu, making it chewy and concentrating the flavour of the marinade, which I love. But … Continue reading Crispy Air Fryer Coconut Crusted Tofu Bites (vegan)

Whipped Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (vegan)
Does anyone remember how in elementary school, kids' parents would bring in a grocery store birthday cake to celebrate their child's birthday? The good old days.
