Customer Reviews

Well-organised, clear text, yummy recipes
The book is divided into 6 sections: large cakes and loaves, small cakes, biscuits, tray bakes, no-bake cakes and savoury baking - making it easy to find exactly what you are looking for. Recipes are easy to follow and well laid out. Vegan versions of all your favourites are there eg muffins, malt loaf, shortbread, flapjacks, but there's also a multitude of inspiring, unusual recipes too eg parsnip and banana slice or orange, alfalfa and cardomon cookies. The recipes I have tried turned out perfectly first time. You'll find something in this book that you'll love even if you're not a vegan - there's nothing in this book that I don't fancy making. Highly recommended.

Check that fat!
The most common ingredient in this book is "vegan margarine", and all the recipes give you a product which is uncomfortably high in fat.

In addition, you need to check your fat very carefully. Most margarines, including margarines made entirely from vegetable oil, contain partly hydrogenated oils. That's trans fat, the very last thing you should be eating.
