Excellent recipes

ByC2on March 16, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love this cookbook. Every recipe I have tried has been excellent (and I've tried many). In fact, I made the light lemon bundt cake tonight - another hit. I read a few of the negative reviews and I have to say, I'm surprised. First of all, to the person who screwed up the chocolate chip cookie recipe, too bad for you because it is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe out there. In fact, my nonvegan friends and family members frequently request that I bake several batches and freeze them so they can get refills when I visit. I have yet to meet a single person who hasn't said it is the best chocolate chip cookie they've ever had. Someone just asked me today to bring some to an upcoming Easter party (where I will be the only vegan). Also, people claiming they could buy a regular cookbook and just exchange the animal products for veg products, go ahead. Who cares? That doesn't make this cookbook worse, it simply uses other ingredients. You're going to pay for a cookbook either way. I'm also not sure why people are implying that egg replacer is somehow "bad." It's basically potato starch - a totally neutral ingredient.

Ignore the naysayers, than book is a winner!

ByLaura C.on November 13, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I'm a baking klutz...if it can be ruined, I can find a new way to do so. Add that to the fact that I have to adjust recipes on the fly due to living at high altitude. That said, I'm in love with this cookbook. The recipes are pretty foolproof and delicious. My personal faves are the apple strudel and baklava (you guessed it, I'm a huge phyllo fan).

The recipes are laid out well, and the photos are lovely. I do a little tweaking for my altitude and all is good.

To speak to those saying it's not healthy enough: go eat a piece of fruit and leave us heathens alone. I don't own any non vegan baking books, so *of course* the use of vegan substitutes are used, and no I could not do this on my own. Some people just aren't happy unless they are complaining.

Anyway, it's the perfect time of year to dive into this book as there will be plenty of parties and celebrations to bake for!

Nice resource for beginning vegan bakers, but nothing special

ByGCon June 3, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book's strong points are also its weak points, depending on what your priorities are. As other reviewers have mentioned, the author generally makes simple substitutions from standard baking - usually margarine for butter and ener-g or tofu for eggs. The upside of this 'lowest common denominator' style of vegan baking is that it's very easy and inexpensive to find substitutes, and it won't alter your routine too much if you're used to standard baking. Still, it reminds me of a vegan cookbook that gives 'meat and potatoes' recipes with just tofu or seitan instead of the meat, in that it wears out its usefulness and gets boring pretty quickly. It helped me when I began baking vegan goodies, although I never really baked with eggs and dairy (I didn't know how to bake, period, before I bought this book to start learning). The sections that explain how to make substitutions and how leavening and binding agents work were helpful, but I imagine that other books or websites give similar information.

I consider this book a decent buy if you want to make sweets as close to their egg- and dairy-containing counterparts and possible, with minimum substitution; this is especially handy if you're baking to share with people who might be leery of chocolate cake made with zucchini or something such. It also doesn't ask you to use chickpea and spelt flour and other expensive, hard-to-find ingredients that are so annoyingly common in vegan recipes (there is an over-reliance on 'pure maple syrup', however; does she not know how prohibitively expensive that stuff is? I use agave instead). If you really want to save your money, I recommend using vegan recipe websites and blogs rather than buying this book. Great ones to try include the Post-Punk Kitchen, Vegan Dad, Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen, and No-Meat Athlete; they don't have the same baking substitution tutorials as a cookbook (at least, not that I know of), but they generally have great basic recipes as well as more varied, innovative ones...plus, it's free and the commenters often give nifty tips and tricks. For the record, this author publishes recipes on her website too, but you have to pay for a subscription to access them. I don't necessarily fault her for it (she has to pay the bills too), but I'd rather try out the recipes that authors offer for free...then buy their cookbooks if they're good. Thank you, Isa Chandra Moskowitz!

This a fantastic cookbook! Colleen Patrick-Goudreau cover all the basics

ByBella Veronicaon July 4, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This a fantastic cookbook! Colleen Patrick-Goudreau cover all the basics, clears up any questions or confusion about how to bake, vegan. The cookbook has a great variety of recipes, while still being true to the most familiar, and popular baked goods we all grew up with. There aren't any strange configurations of ingredients, or methods to getting to a finished product. The author, makes it easy. The book itself is a great size, and being a softcover, very easy to use. I just love it.

The best baking cookbook!

Bycristinaon December 10, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is my all-time favorite baking cookbook (vegan or not!). I have reached for this cookbook countless times, and every time the recipes are easy to follow and turn out perfectly. I have used dozens of cookbooks, and so many times the recipes include ingredients that are hard to find or the recipe doesn't come out consistently. This cookbook never fails! Highly highly recommended.

I don't use substitution products so to me this book was pretty useless.

I bought this book but returned it having not used it. I found that the recipes in this book called for a lot of substitutions for milk, eggs, and butter.
