A hen’s egg adds leavening (rising), binding, flavour and colour to a baked good where a flax egg or chia egg adds the binding but no rising of the batter. Flax eggs are best used in coffee cakes, pancakes, muffins and squares – baked goods that do not need a lot of rising.

Browned and Baked Falafel is a wonderful recipe! So full of amazing nutrition and deliciousness. Falafel are often deep fried or at least in a lot of oil in your frying pan. These are quickly browned in a bit of oil and then baked so you get the crispy outside and the soft amazing inside. These can be served in a pita with a load of other things - hummus, tzatziki, greens/spinach, cooked or pickled beets, caramelized or oven roasted onions, and tahini as in the photo – or on a bed or rice with a salad on the side. When in a pita, it can get a bit messy as you devour this goodness, but aren’t the best things in life a little messy? Eat these with wild abandon!
