I used to be vegan, but went back to dairy (and fish) because nothing works like butter, and nothing melts and/or tastes like cheese. While I'd love to be able to use white/brown cane sugar, honey, and other sweeteners, I can't due to health reasons, so I've been using agave nectar (natural and REAL) in my baking. It doesn't behave the same way as sugar, so I've had to learn a bit of food chemistry along the way. Have you used agave nectar? Also, what's the best way to make almond paste? Thanks!

Also, what’s the best way to make almond paste?
