Susie! I just found your blog, and it is AMAZING! I LOVE WHAT YOU DO! i don’t know anything about chemistry, but the way you explain what you do with foods make me wanna do a radical life change and head straight to university. I wanna be able to do what you do, because it seems like so much fun being able to predict results of things and make actual experiments, not just throw things in a pan and see what happens, which is what i do…
Anyway, if you ever start blogging again, i will read your every single post

Hi, I love your blog,the photos are great,my name is Sue. I am working on egg-free gluten-free recipes for an Australian health food company & am currently working on recipes for meringue.
So far I have good flavor, but am finding that they lose shape after being piped on to the tray.
Perhaps our heatwave conditions are not helping!
Good luck with your quest, & I will write again when I have greater success.

I am just starting to get my baking skills honed, so I am really looking forward to trying out your meringue recipe. How exciting! Thanks for sharing (soon, that is).

@ Winter:
I’m glad you like the blog! Believe it or not though, the “recipe” still isn’t posted in public! We were making all sorts of wonderful progress on it in the “testing” board, but then the 16 credits that I was taking caught up with me and everything- this meringue included- got shoved aside.

Now its spring break though, and I am determined to make amends such that you all will not have to be waiting around for another quarter while I struggle through physics class. So stay tuned for the next week or two!

hey there, absolutely love the blog even if it does take out the witch craft element of vegan baking…. I’m trying to find where the meringue recipe is posted (as you said you were going to) but I can’t find it…. any clues?

I have been killing myself for YEARS trying to come up with this recipe, and I had given up! I am a biochemist, so I may be able to help you with some idea of how to strengthen the foam network! Pls consider me! Or atleast mail me a taste!!!!

Blind Tips (as i have no idea of what you are using)
1. flax seed gel will make the mix heavy so it will weaken the foam
2. cream of tartar is used as a stabiliser
3. icing sugar may help to dry the mix, and strengthen it
4. corn flour will most likely affect the flavour, and need s to be heated to be activated
5. Arrowroot thickens and may assist
6. agar agar, is prolly the way to go, but i have been burned vby it so much in the past I don’t even want to try!

find it in your heart to point me in the right direction!!!!
