Although a hobbiest, since starting a vegan diet after meetng Echoe 2 years ago, he has perfected many vegan baking recipes & over-come many common challenges most new vegans face when it comes to using egg replacements (or not), aquafaba & which plant milks work best etc
He loves to bake on the weekends & Echoe loves to decorate them, between the two they make a dynamic cooking duo!
