This book is a wonderful book for any baker, vegan or not. It begins with an introduction by the author, the always eloquent Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, on how she came to veganism. Following that is the first chapter, which is devoted to the methods of vegan baking - what ingredients to use in place of eggs and dairy products. This section alone is worth the price of the book. Finally, we get to the recipes! Included are recipes for muffins, scones, biscuits, cakes, pies, bread, sauces, and more. Amongst the recipes are tips for getting your creations to turn out beautifully. The last sections are appendices, which include a guide to stocking your pantry plus resources, and three indices. There is truly a lot of information packed into this book.
I have made the banana chocolate chip muffins, bran muffins, pumpkin spice bread, apple cake, and whole wheat bread. All were delicious. I definitely recommend reading each recipe carefully and following the directions exactly. This is important to do when baking anything, but I find that I need to pay extra attention since vegan baking is not the normal method of baking for me. Of course with this cookbook, I fully expect vegan baking to become the normal way for me!

Whether you choose to be vegan, enjoy trying new ways of cooking - OR cooking for friends - this cookbook is GREAT! Filled with practical recipes and tips, everyone can benefit from it. I've made 3-4 recipes and each one is outstanding - with rave reviews from those who sampled them. I bought two other vegan cookbooks at the same time- this one (hands down) is the best!

Such a great cookbook for anyone, vegan or otherwise. The recipes taste the same and even better then their non-vegan counterparts. Personally I love the Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, The Chocolate Cake, the German Apple cake, and the list goes on. Your family and or spouse will really enjoy this book!

This cookbook is the one item that made me feel truly capable to cook and bake vegan. I love these recipes- I've made quite a few and have only had it for two weeks. Colleen has lots of useful tips and interesting tid-bits about the history of different recipes and ingredients. I think this is a must for any vegan!
