These are delicious and easy to make. Best of all, I can get most of the ingredients at the local grocery store. I brought some to work and my (nonvegan) coworkers loved them!
When the book came from Amazon, I was surprised at how small it was (less than 6 inches by 6 inches)…I like larger cookbooks…but upon opening it and reading through the recipes, I was very pleased at the low fat approach. The recipes all sound great. I decided to make two–the chocolate fudge and the halvah. Both came out amazing and were simple to make. This weekend I am going to have a dinner party and will serve those along with the lemon merengue pie and The only disappointment with this tiny book is that some recipes (like the halvah and the whipped creem) call for either honey or maple syrup. HONEY IS NOT VEGAN!!!! I was also surprised that some recipes called corn syrup.
I like the cookbook but am only giving it four stars because of the honey!
Excellent pint-sized baking book with quite a few recipes… fun, playful stuff you don’t see everywhere, like chocolate peanut butter cups, and various puddings, even a plum cake, pies, candies, mango sticky rice. Simple and straightforward directions without a whole lot of hullabaloo, fresh fruit dessert ideas, too. Well done…
