My Favorite! July 6, 2008

This is one of my favorite cookbooks. It has made my transition to a vegan diet easier and I refer to it often. Not only is it full of great recipes (and I have tried several), but there are also tons of useful tips throughout the book. Definitely worth the investment!
Great starter for vegan cooks June 23, 2008

This book has a lot of great familiar desserts that most people will not know are vegan. It includes one of the easiest and most delicious chocolate cake recipes I've seen, and chocolate chip cookies that are fabulous. A lot of great frosting recipes too that can go with anything and be modified in many ways. This book is essential for vegans who love classic desserts and want to impress their friends.
YAY! June 5, 2008

how delicious! i've been baking out of this book for a few months now, so i can honestly say its recipes are excellent. I've been wowing vegans and non-vegans alike since my first attempt (the fudge) straight through my most recent (the cinnamon coffee cake). In fact, I've had to buy two extra copies because I was getting tired of being asked for the recipes and will give the book instead.
 I use it, but I'll look forward to the day a new vegan baking book comes out June 5, 2008

I want to start out by saying that I really do enjoy this cookbook, and I use it often, however I believe that is because it is one of the only dedicated vegan baking books out there at the moment.
I was very excited when this came out and I was able to purchase it. It has a wide range of recipes that also includes breads and ethnic treats. Here is the slight problem I have with it. Nearly every recipe requires the use of Egg Replacer, Vegan margarine, regular sugar, and basic all purpose flower. Although in the beginning of the book I believe it talks about the use of substitutes for these items, it doesn't really give many examples of it. In some recipes it uses large quantities of vegan margarine. Basically you can take any non-vegan recipe, look at it and substitute milk for soymilk, butter for vegan margarine and eggs with egg replacer. It does not make the recipes unique, it does not give them much more thought, it doesn't really show off what vegan baking can be in its creativity and health benefits.
Until a better vegan baking book comes out, it is worth the purchase. You can always try your hand at playing around with the recipe ingredients.
you would never know they were vegan! June 5, 2008

I have made at least 10 of the recipes in this book from the pancakes to the chocolate cake, apple cobbler, blueberry cobbler, and my husband even made the baklava. I usually make these for dinner parties and people are always raving at how great they are. When I tell them it's from my Vegan cookbook they don't believe me. Seriously. I haven't made a bad recipe yet! I've made the chocolate chip cookies 3 or 4 times...Great cookbook.
