Great book! An essential for vegans and others!:

I purchased this book not more than two weeks ago and have already made several of the recipes and was amazed at how precise the instructions were, how wonderfully everything came out (Seriously, I feel like I can open a vegan bakery!!!) and how all my friends and family raved at what I created.....
I love this book and look forward to baking more treats. My only complaint (as it is with most cookbooks) is that I love when the cookbooks break down each recipe nutritionally. This one, like most others,... more info

It is a Joy to be sure:

I have made a few recipes out of this book and they are all delicious, I recommend it if you like Vegan baking. I made the bran muffins from the book and I think they are some of the best I've made.

love the book, but...:

Everything wonderful said about this book in the other reviews is totally true - I love this book. My son is allergic to eggs and dairy, and this book has made the transition to removing those items from our home so much easier. My only complaint is the amounts given - my rule of thumb is that for whatever it says it will make, I'll get almost 2x that amount from the recipe.

A Must Have:

This is a must-have not only for vegetarians and vegans, but for anyone who is health-conscious, or anyone who wants something that tastes WONDERFUL. The book has great pictures, superb directions and helpful tips throughout. Colleen has included everything you could possibly want in this book, you will not regret buying this one!!
