5.0 out of 5 stars The only Vegan Baking book you'll ever need, April 12, 2011

I can confidently say that this is the only vegan baking book you'll ever need in your cooking/baking book library. I've tried quite a few of the recipes and they have turned out delicious. They definitely don't taste like the vegan baked goods you find in stores. WAY better. The textures are perfect, the recipes are flawless and the author's helpful hints, tips and write-ups make you feel like a baking pro. I have a bunch of vegan friends where I live and I'm definitely passing the word around about this book.

Thank you for finally putting out a fantastic recipe book that brings vegan baked goods to a whole new and delicious level.

I'm sure that the review above me with the one star meant to be 5 stars, considering their glowing review. :)

This book is packed with great recipes. I am not vegan and sometimes substitute ingredients for the real thing, i.e. eggs, butter, milk, etc. Recipes are easy and delicious.

I have followed this author's blog - spatulas, corkscrews and suitcases - for years, so I was really excited to see that Ms. Diegel had written a book. The blog does feature vegan recipes which I, have always found to be fantastic, but having an entire book by Ms. Diegel with nothing but vegan is a true delight. I've already tried two of the recipes, and true to her roots, they are fabulous -- tasty, easy, fun and loved by all, vegan and non-vegan's alike. Buy the book, you won't be disappointed.
