Book Review: My Sweet Vegan Has Appeal For Non Vegans
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is a perfect reflection of Hannah's personality, warm and friendly, inviting you to try new things and be opened to the world around. When I first got to know her, I had no idea this very mature soul both in her writing and approach to food, came in such a young and cute package.
I love to make the Peanut Butter Scones With Chocolate Glaze for brunch and take them to the gym when the 4 o'clock sugar craving hits. I bake the Lemon-Lime Sunshine Cake almost every weekend to take to friends and gatherings. It is moist and each bite does burst in your mouth like a ray of sunshine. In that spirit, the book is written with the whole spectrum of dessert lovers in mind, vegan or not, and it reads like a novel. Hannah generously gives us her tried and true, favorite recipes as well as tips and tricks to achieve the best tasting treats. Reading through it is like spending time with a good friend over a good brownie or a cup of coffee. Did I say brownie? Yes...and many more like Strawberry Love Muffins, Butterscotch Blondies, Whoopie Pies, Mocha Devastation Cake, Ginger Dream Pie, Five Minute Coconut Fudge....and I am just scratching the surface.
Although not vegan, we do respect the animals that feed us, giving them the day off once in a while. I am more into tofu, soy milk agave nectar, with a weakness of vegan "cream cheese" than he is, but he is a good sport and when I told him I was going to bake from Hannah's book, he took it upon himself to give me the "Carnivore opinion". So far, everything has been a hit.Hannah explains in detail what is needed to get baking her vegan ingredient guide at the begining. She also included a section entitled "Tools of the trade" where she explained everything anybody needed to know for baking, especially novice bakers.
I love baking from it because I can relax, kick back, knowing that Hannah has tried her recipes several times and gives us only her favorites. I can open the book at any category (sweet tarts, cookies and bars, cakes and cupcakes, pies and tarts, miscellaneous morsels and desserts) and just make up a treat. Some items take a little longer than others but are by no means daunting or intricate. I also really like the food allergy index at the end of the book. I have more and more clients with food allergies or dietary restrictions so I know that I can bake something without second guessing if I did not sneak in something they could not have without even paying attention.
Hannah has done a great job in broadening the horizons of vegan baking with a great writing style and mouth watering pictures!
