Underused ingredient in the kitchen

Tahini. I add it into nearly everything, from smoothies to granola, savory sauces, curries—you name it, I add it. I love it because it gives the food a bitterly nutty flavor, which makes it that bit more interesting and delicious.

Baking tip I swear by

Aquafaba. I use it in most cakes as an egg replacement. Sometimes I beat it to make it that much more fluffy. Sometimes I add it into plant-based milk together with cider vinegar to make a vegan buttermilk. It is so versatile and obviously the best use is vegan meringue pies, pavlovas or macaroons.
