This book is absolutely stunning with easy-to-follow directions. We have made a few of the recipes, and so far, all have been a huge hit! While most of the recipes seem more suited for special occasions, there are a number of great go-to cookie recipes and weekday treats. I’m looking forward to making my way through this book!

The title says it all: this is an all encompassing book of vegan bakes. Everything from cakes to doughnuts to scones to cookies is included, along with delicious looking photographs to tempt your taste buds! None of the recipes are too intimidating, and there are so many bakes I can't wait to try! I also have to say, I loved that she dedicated this book to her animal companion Tiggs, and that he was the reason she went vegan. Her story and dedication are so inspiring and will strike at the heart of any true animal lover, and all of us that went vegan for the animals (among many other reasons!).

A beautifully designed cookbook that focuses on all of the basics of vegan baking. An English food blogger Jade's book features a good collection of recipes that veganize dessert classics along with basic instructions needed for baking flourish. Each recipe also features a photograph helping bakers to visualize the finished product.
