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.

I like this book alot. I found the ones with fruit or veg work the best. The choc cake wont work for me i have tried 4 times. may be because we have australian mesurements ?? not sure. went back to my own recepie for that one.
I bought this for my daughter as she has an egg and nut allergy.The only problem was that the book has come apart already. The binding is not good.
However the carrot cake is the best even my egg eating friends love it and say it's the best ever!!. we just didn't put in the nuts.
Over all pretty happy and love all the pics!!!

So I have a lot of Vegan cookbooks and this one is the BEST. So far the recipes have lived up to the promise, which I cannot say for some of my other books. This cookbook also uses less obscure ingredients. I live in New York City and even I find it difficult to find some of the ingredients in other vegan baking books. Can't say enough good things about this book. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Great recipes, taste just like their non vegan versions. Yet you can't mistake vegan for healthy. As in all baking there is lots of sugar and (vegan) butter which is basically margarine. But if you have a sweet tooth and want to keep vegan this is the book to bake with!!! It also helps if you want to convert a recipe into vegan, it explains or suggests substitutions. Worth having.
This non-vegan loves it! May 20, 2008

I am admittedly not vegan, although I admire the lifestyle choice. I discovered the world of vegan desserts because my children have several food allergies. I couldn't stand the thought of them not enjoying baked goods, particularly since I have always enjoyed baking. That said, I must admit that a lot of non-dairy, non-egg attempts at baking some classic desserts were awful, yielding what I thought was worthy of nothing but the trash can. This cookbook has changed that and opened my eyes to the possibilities of vegan baking. I even like some of the vegan versions better than the dairy laden versions. I am so surprised at the negative reviews about the lack of healthy ingredients - these are desserts people!! The best desserts usually rely on rich ingredients and it is already a vast improvement that there are no eggs or milk. If you want healthy sweets go for a granola bar or a bowl of fruit. The occasional dessert treat should be just that and it should be decadent enough to make it worth eating. It seems unfair to give a negative review based on a criteria that the author is not aspiring to. Great job Colleen!!
