I (heart) this book!,

This review is from: Quick and Easy Vegan Bake Sale: More Than 150 Delicious Sweet and Savory Vegan Treats Perfect for Sharing (Paperback)
I love this book. I read it from cover to cover and enjoyed both the descriptions and the variety of recipes. There is something for very taste and there is pretty much a variation for every recipe so if you don't like something you may like the variation instead. As for hard to find ingredients, I completely disagree. Hemp seeds and custard powder are both available in my local chain supermarket and in the book Carla gives suggestions for substitutions for custard powder that is completely accessible. As for kid approved, I don't know any kids that won't eat sweet tasty baked goods or fruit, it seems like sometimes all my kid wants to eat is fruit, especilly mangoes! There are definitely goodies that would be more suited to a grown-up palate but Vegan bake sales are pretty much a standard for fundraising so there is definitely a place for them in this book. Kids aren't the only ones who like treats. I love that there are so many recipes packed into this book and variations on pretty much every one so I will have lots of new goodies to try out. I especially love the beginning section where the author covers how to adapt cakes into cupcakes or muffins into mini muffins or tea loaves. So helpful! I also appreciated the tips for preparing for a bake sale including a note on allergies. Love this book!

Love the British influence,
By vegan from CO - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Quick and Easy Vegan Bake Sale: More Than 150 Delicious Sweet and Savory Vegan Treats Perfect for Sharing (Paperback)
I've wanted this book ever since seeing a picture of her Rocky Road Brownies on her website, but what really got me interested was the British influence on this book - having lived in the UK there are a lot of baked goods that I didn't know I missed until now.My favorite recipe so far are the sausage rolls - it's worth buying the book just for this recipe! The lemon bread and butter pudding was a huge hit too. The hot cross buns, Jaffa loaf, Sticky Toffee pudding cake and Lamingtons are all next on my list. Carla also has lots of notes and variations for most recipes - which comes in handy when you find out at the last minute that you've run out of one of the main ingredients. Even recipes for making your own soy creamer or english custard powder! The instructions are clear and easy to follow and the recipes are laid out well. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Easy to follow and delicious, too!,
By Maddie3 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Quick and Easy Vegan Bake Sale: More Than 150 Delicious Sweet and Savory Vegan Treats Perfect for Sharing (Paperback)
While I am a non-vegan, I purchased this book as I have a few vegan friends and would like to have something to serve them when they are over. I have already made a few of the recipes (with the help of my young daughter!) and found them easy to follow. Unlike a previous commentator, I have not had difficulty finding any of the ingredients thus far. I was able to get everything at the large-ish suburban grocery store where I usually shop. I do appreciate a culinary adventure, so buying new ingredients does not phase me. So far the family favourites are the Balsamic Fruit Tarts, the No-Bake Chocolate Truffle Inspired Cookies and (my personal favourite) the the Pecan Date Cookies. My kids do eat (and enjoy!) fruit and we love rhubarb....just waiting for it to get big enough to pick from the garden to try the recipes with rhubarb...especially the Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Top Pie.

A baking gem,
By Mrs. E. Wyman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Quick and Easy Vegan Bake Sale: More Than 150 Delicious Sweet and Savory Vegan Treats Perfect for Sharing (Paperback)
I've never bought any baking books before, mostly because I don't really have a sweet tooth. I do sometimes want to take baked goods to work or events though, so I thought this book would be a good place to start. Naturally I started with the savoury items though. The cheese and onion pasties are delicious - they are something I grew up with and this recipe captures them perfectly. Even my cheese eating husband loved them. The spanokopita loaf, lightly toasted and served with vegan cream cheese made a fabulous snack for visiting (non vegan) friends - and kept beautifully in the freezer. The pea and asparagus tart is delightful, perfect for picnics. My confidence was up so I tried a few of the sweeter items too. Again I grew up with shortbread so I made a batch and took it to work where non vegans devoured it. The rhubarb and strawberry pie was a summer delight. I've just spotted the eccles cake, which yet again I grew up eating. They're next on my list.For non experienced bakers like myself, there's a fabulous introduction which describes all the terms like creaming and beating which many authors expect you to understand. Baking using yeast very helpfully gets its own chapter, and I'm sure I'll be returning to it. The greatest thing about this book is its breadth. Don't like fruit? Start with all the chocolate ideas. Not keen on pie? Make cookies. No sweet tooth? Work through the savouries. Fear of baking? Try the "no bake" ideas. Allergies? All helpfully listed. Experienced baker? Move straight to the yeast or some of the more complex recipes. Whether an experienced baker or new to it like I was, I can promise you'll find lots of scrummy things to make here. Well worth 5 stars. |
