Customer Reviews

disappointing! :(
I was shocked to see that most recipes use Soy Milk/tofu which is proven to be very unhealthy, as soy is only good when it's fermented! Beside that, it also uses a lot of Margarine, which is also proven unhealthy and canola oil. :(
The pictures are nice though ...

even has a great gluten free recipe....
...well technically it has two, but they are really just variations of each other.
I would reccomend using 'Dove Farm white gluten free flour' instead of the quinoa flour though - trust me!
also, use muffin cases instead of fairycake cases and the cakes will be proper size.
The 'Chocolate Gluten Freedom Cupcakes' are brilliant. No-one will know that they are gf unless you tell them. [although they're only good on the day of making and the day after].
The regular vegan recipes are great too, and rely on proper ingredients. They can even be transformed into gluten free without much hassle.
==> great book

Best vegan cookbook I own!
Really can't give this book enough praise. The ingredients are easy to find and don't call for expensive 'egg replacers' and what not only found in health food stores like lots of vegan cakes.
Has lots of lovely pictures throughout the book and have tried and tested many!
Can't recommend this book enough!
