Book Description

September 15, 2009
If you're lactose intolerant, avoiding cholesterol, limiting saturated fat, or simply crave sweets, prepare to indulge. Author Sharon Valencik demystifies the art of vegan baking and expands your culinary repertoire to include delicious dairy-and egg- free desserts for all your celebrations.


Over 130 recipes for decadent cakes, scrumptious cookies, creamy cheesecakes and pies, velvety mousses, puddings, and crèmes and other luscious treats are accompanied by mouth-watering photographs that provide inspiration and are a feast for the eyes. These desserts capture the same delicious flavors and textures of traditional favorites. As a bonus, because they do not contain dairy or eggs, they are cholesterol-free, have little saturated fat, and leave a smaller ecological footprint.


For the inexperienced baker and busy moms, these recipes are ncomplicated to make. Sharon's clear instructions and expert tips blended with everyday ingredients that can be found in a supermarket magically makes egg-less cakes rise, creates rich, creamy fillings without milk or cream, and cookies that have rich flavor and moist texture without the use of butter.


Omnivores of every persuasion will love the sensational tastes and appreciate the discovery of healthier dessert options.


Some of the recipes that will amaze guests and delight families include Midnight Cake with Chocolate Frosting, Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches, Coconut Tiramisu, Mixed Berry Cheesecake, Gingerbread Guys, Chocolate Mousse, Lemon Berry Tart, Fudgy Chip Cookies, Cappuccino Custard, Pudding Parfaits, and Three-layer Cheesecake Bars.


These are just a few of the endless possibilities of alternative desserts that can be made without animal products. Sweet Utopia guarantees sweet success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Desert Cookbook Attracts the Non-Vegan Audience October 22, 2009
By JKC
Format:Paperback
Sweet Utopia is a marvelous vegan desert cookbook! It is filled with simple and sinful recipes that will tantalize your taste buds. My endorsement of this book, is saying something because I am not a vegan--and have never cooked vegan before. However, I am attracted to living a healthier life and providing that experience to my friends and family. In actuality it was my husband's high cholesterol problem that jumped started my interest into this book and challenged me to change my cooking style. Quite simply I wanted my husband to live longer which meant that I needed to cut down on his egg and cheese intake. However, being a domestic gourmet chef I didn't want to sacrifice taste or my chocolate cake; and with using Sweet Utopia's mouthwatering deserts, I didn't have to. I became so excited about this trendy new book that I made the bread pudding recipe for my dairy intolerant Aunt. She was moved to tears--she hadn't had bread pudding in 20 years. That is testimony to how life changing Sweet Utopia can be. Whether you are a Vegan or just looking for a healthier way of life--this cookbook is for you. I love Sweet Utopia because it is filled with vibrant pictures that make the tantalizing desserts come to life on the page plus it is easy to use. All that it takes is one taste.

I bought this book last week and I cant stop making delicious desserts! They are easy and absolutely delicious! I never could make desserts until now. I made 3 desserts from this book for a party this weekend and everyone was like "WOW who made this dessert". Easy to follow recipes easy to find ingredients.

I also have to mention the pictures in this book are exquisite. I will recommend this book to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Book! October 13, 2009
Format:Paperback
I've been a Vegan for a few years and I'm always looking for new recipes. I stumbled upon this book and was really excited about the prospect of having a whole book of Vegan recipes, so rare! So far I've made about a third of the recipes in this book (my husband and kids have been really enjoying that, needless to say!). The recipes have come out great and they're all really simple and easy to make. I feel like this is one of those books that I'll be using for years and years. The photos are gorgeous and the desserts are really yummy, definitely a must-have cookbook for Vegans, I don't know how I've lived without it this long!
