Kristen's Easy Raw Vegan Desserts is just awesome. I would have to say this is one of my favorite books by Kristen. There are so many amazing recipes in this book that you have to try. Like the Bananas Foster (to die for!), Peppermint Chocolate Mousse, Peach Caramel Pie, Raspberry Vanilla Cheesecake, Out of this Galaxy Chocolate Brownies, Southern Cinnamon Peach Ice Cream, Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream to name just a few. Plus, the sauces, coulis and glazes are great additions to any dessert. I've taken many of Kristen's desserts to potlucks and family parties and they are always a hit. I've been asked many times for the recipes and what's funny is that they didn't even know they were raw! I would definitely recommend Kristen's other books. I know you won't be disappointed.

I really like the book and am anxious to try the recipes. The only disapointment I have is that I bought 2 of Kristen Suzanne's books (Easy Raw Soups and Easy Raw Desserts)and found that Chapter 1 (constituting 1/3 of the book) is identical in each book. Most people who are interested in raw foods would likely to buy both book and would expect more recipes rather than identical text.

These desserts are absolutely TO DIE FOR! I bought this thinking I could eat healthier sweets - because at this point, not eating sweets ISN'T an option... Let me just say, BIG HIT! This isn't one of those recipe books that use random, weird ingredients (have to be honest, kinda thought that's what it would be)- it was all stuff I already had. My husband LOVES when I make something from this book and there's not too many days that I don't have one in the freezer or on the way. My dad, an old country meat & potatoes guy, even loves the german chocolate brownies. The coconut cookies are our new obsession. We're eating them for breakfast, lunch & dinner- Is that bad??

Thanks Kristen Suzanne!!

The pros: tasty recipes
Easy-to-follow directions.

The cons :
NO index, so specific recipes are difficult to find.

The same first 10 pages or so are contained in each of her books, so you pay for that over and over again if you buy more than one.

Not sure if the cost-vs-benefit ratio is good. IMO, ALL her books could have been condensed into one--WITH an index!--for half the price or less than all of her books purchased separately.

Raw desserts are so awesome and this book from Kristen Suzanne does not disappoint. The recipes really are easy and sooo good. It really is amazing how good raw desserts are - and they're so good for us, too! Kristen's recipes are simple and easy to follow, which is great for a super busy person, like myself. I don't really make too many desserts just because I don't have the time. These recipes, however, I can manage to squeeze in my schedule! I am crazy for the Key Lime Pudding and the Key Lime Parfait. Traditional Key Lime Pie was always my favorite dessert, so this is a really satisfying raw altnerative.

Kristen Suzanne has a talent for turning easy recipes with basic raw ingredients into delicious desserts. After a few pages with a helpful overview of raw basics, Suzanne dives into recipes ranging from Orange Blossom Chocolate Mousse to Summer Strawberry Cobbler to Raw Vegan Banana Splits - and if that's still not enough she even shares recipes for various frostings and sauces. Whatever your dessert preference, you'll find much to enjoy in this book! Making it even better - every recipe is good for your health, the health of the planet, and the health of other animals, too!

Kristen has put together an entire book full of the most AMAZING desserts you will ever have in your life!! The recipes are unique, nutritious and soo much fun to make. My daughters love it when mommy makes dessert. And we NEVER feel guilty when filling our plates (or bowls) with these desserts.
Kristen delivers excellence! My family and I are HUGE fans of Kristen's recipes. We love the simplicity in each recipe and the phenominal taste each recipe brings.

except she left out the word "delicious"! I have collected several raw food cookbooks over the past couple years, but Kristen's recipes are the ones I go back to again and again. These recipes truly are easy and don't require a lot of hard to find ingredients. My book is flagged with many recipes that I want to try and I've already tried several, including Isle of Capri Chocolate Mousse (chocolate and lemon - yum!), Summer Strawberry Cobbler (which I made at least four times last summer), Oh My! It's Vanilla Cheesecake (which I took for breakfast one morning and giggled the entire time I ate it) and Raw Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (simply delish!) Get this book (and while you're at it, buy her other books - they're all great) you won't be disappointed! Kristen, you and your recipes rock!

Ya know how the French love their chocolate? Well, we had a French foreign exchangte student living with us for a month and she LOVED the avocado chocolate mousse made from the recipe in this book. She ate a pint all by herself! I love it too, but got only one serving before she had consumed the whole thing. Frozen or thawed, it's amazing.

I absolutely love Kristen's Raw desserts book! I actually have all the books that she has published so far and they are all wonderful! I like first off how she capitalizes Raw vegan. To me it SHOULD be capped. I always do. Second, I love the tips she gives in the book. I also love having a conversion chart. I can never find one when I need one. Another thing I noticed right off is the basic ingredients her creative Raw desserts recipe involve. "Dates - nature's candy" - I have ALWAYS said this. When I read that, I knew Kristen and I (and her recipes) were going to get along just fine.
With the holidays approaching I can't wait to try these wonderful recipes. If there is anyone who is contemplating going all Raw and can't seem to kick the "sweets"? This book is definitely one to purchase. The sweets in this book are guilt free and are actually good for you! I often eat dessert for breakfast.
I also have purchased all her other books, and am anxious to read and try out recipes from each and everyone one of them. But this one caught my eye first as I love my sweets.
Thank you Kristen for making a Raw Vegan (for over 2 and 1/2 years now) a very happy person!
I look forward to getting to know and share all your many other recipes. You are one busy girl!!!
