Product Description
This title features 100 all-natural, delicious recipes that are all free of lactose, saturated fats, cholesterol, and cruelty. From classic breads, cakes, and desserts to imaginative new creations, the recipes in this book eliminate the dairy and eggs without reducing the flavour. These homemade delights have been taste-tested to tantalizing perfection. Each bite proves that vegan-baked goods can be just as delectable as their animal-product counterparts. Whether one is motivated to do something positive for the earth, to show compassion for animals, or to be good for one's health, these quick-to-make, easy-to-bake recipes offer a proven new approach for novice bakers and professional pastry chefs alike. "The 100 Best Vegan Baking Recipes" features alternatives for favourites like cupcakes, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies while also offering treats such as lime coconut bars, blueberry streusel muffins, and rosemary focaccia. The author refrains from exotic ingredient lists while presenting straightforward guidance on how baking works and what to use to veganize favourite recipes. From egg and butter replacers to nut and grain milks, "The 100 Best Vegan Baking Recipes" details all the tried, true, and tastiest substitutes.

Searching through the many vegetarian and vegan cookbooks on Amazon, it was hard to know whether there was much difference between them (having not bought a vegan cookbook before). I wanted to focus on baking and by purchasing this book, that's what I got. With trepidation, I created my first batch of "French Toast Muffins" thinking that the author's claims about her vegan baking not producing "unappetizing brown blobs" might be inflated. I'm pleased to say that they turned out very well and tasted fantastic. Even my 11 year old devoured half of them.
While this is an American cookbook, it's mostly easy to make conversions for the UK. The oven temperatures are easy enough, but it's ingredients like applesauce and molasses you might have to look around for (or use a replacement). There are hardly any "weird health-food shop" ingredients which means you can normally start baking straight away. The measurements in the book are all in cups and spoons which is not normally how we bake in the UK, but I actually found it easy to follow and even not being super-precise, my muffins turned out great.
There is an excellent introduction where the author explains the key ingredients needed to produce various baked goods - I actually found that this de-mystified non-vegan as well as vegan baking for me! The book makes it seem easy to cook without eggs (one of the major reasons I wanted to own a vegan cookbook, even though I'm vegetarian myself and not vegan) and you can use various types of both flour and milk in the recipes (she rarely specifies a particular type, but there is some good tips in the beginning about replacements). There is a good variety of different types of baked goods here with varying degrees of difficulty. There aren't any pictures, but that has never really bothered me. The recipes are clear and easy to read.
Note that the author also makes a valid point about vegan baking not necessarily being "healthy". Many of the recipes contain sugar or other sugar replacements and almost all of them contain 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of oil. If you are trying to be low fat - this probably won't be the best recipe book to try it with.
Recommended for anyone who would like to try baking when they don't have any eggs in the house or a vegan with a flair for baking. I'm trying the best banana bread this afternoon :)

I have quite a collection of Vegan cookbooks so was hesitant to buy another, I first looked on the authors blog and tried the Lemon Drop Cookie recipe she posted there. Well one recipe is all it took, I quickly bought the book and I have not been disapointed at all, every recipe I have made has been incrediable. My Husband is not a muffin eater but he has loved all the muffins I have made from this book. After years of stuggle trying to make bread and ending up with rocks this book finally has me baking nice soft dinner rolls and loaves of bread.
I can't recommend this book highly enough, even if you're not vegan this is still a great cookbook!!

I have a few books on vegan baking now and the recipes contained in them vary in success. This book was recommended to me as being a very good book on vegan baking and I have to say that I agree. So far I have tried 9 of the recipes and all of them have worked successfully. Very straightforward, ingredients are simple and easy to obtain, nothing too weird or expensive is required, and my only complaint is the lack of pictures. It's fine to have a cookbook without images if you already know what you want to make and just need to find the recipe by name, but if you don't know particularly what you want to make or you are unfamiliar with recipes names and can't identify what something might look like just by the name, then some inspirational pictures of the finished items is very helpful.
