About the Book : Now you can eat sumptuous desserts that are as healthful as they are delicious, using more whole grain flours, nutritious oils, organic ingredients, and natural sweeteners, without eggs or dairy products. Enjoy sinful chocolate cakes and brownies, comforting fruit pies, baklava, dessert creams and sauces, heavenly frostings and fillings, and refreshing dairyfree ice creams.

One user of this book writes : "This is the best dessert book I ever used. It's clear and well organized with a lot of information but isn't overwhelming. The author has made baking without milk and eggs VERY simple and easy. I am a mom and my kids like desserts that taste good. I want us to stay away from dairy and eggs and junk but not feel deprived. I have tried many of these recipes -- they WORK and seem to be pretty forgiving -- a good thing because I am a new at baking and make a few goofs... The brownies and chocolate cake are beyond delicious. I made the lemon cake and vanilla cakes several times for parties. They make great cupcakes for kids parties too; iced with the chocolate peanut butter filling from another recipe."

About the Book : More than 200 recipes plus seasonal menus, a nutrient guide for vegans, and complete ingredient substitutions.

One reviewer writes : "I purchased this book a few years ago and of all the recipes I tried within, I cannot begin to describe how delicious each recipe was. The blend of spices in each recipe brings forth explosive flavor and pleasure. I would have to honestly say this book is the most used in my assortment of vegan cookbooks. The "Spring Onion Soup" is literally to die for and I could go on and on about many other recipes. It is obvious that the authors are very knowledgeable in this field of cookery and they pass along to each of us a wealth of fine dining treats which are very easy to make and rich with flavor."
