"my go-to book when looking for a new vegan recipe!"

4.16 avg rating — 4,113 ratings

"This was my first experience cooking from scratch- all my previous attempts at baking have been made from out of a box.

I started with the Bannana Bread, and it came out PERFECTLY. The recipe was easy to follow, especially since it already tells you how much egg replacer to use instead of taking the time to add up how many tablespoons of Ener-G equals one egg.

I next made Pumpkin Bread and brought it to a friend's house for a potluck party. Almost everyone there asked me for the recipe because it was so tasty!

I made 3 batches of Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip cookies from the book and they were gone within 2 days- WAY better than Uncle Eddies! (which are the best store bought vegan cookies, IMO)

The recipes are simple, easy to follow, and come out to perfection. The author explains through out the book different vegan substitues and health benefits of a vegan choice (i.e. soy/almond/rice milk as opposed to cow's milk) and the how to use the different egg substitues (flax/ Ener-G/ bannana, etc.) so you don't use the wrong one and end up with a flat cake or burnt cookies. A great chapter at the front of the book that has helped me measure butter when I had a tub of butter (instead of those sticks of butter with the handy measurement marks on the foil wrapping). And a great appendix in the back which explains the uses for different varieties of apples, the difference between baking soda and baking powder; as well as an index in the back to find recipes according to season, celebrations, and of course alphabetical.

I've become enthusiastic about baking and changed many of my omnivorous friend's minds about veganism because of this book!

Highly recommended!"
