I haven't yet gotten around to reviewing The Joy of Vegan Baking - but you can see some of the recipes I've tried here: http://www.easyvegan.info/tag/the-joy-of-vegan-baking/ recommended for: EVERYONE who bakes or wants others to bake for them I generally read my cookbooks from cover to cover, but I picked up this one for an initial cursory look only and couldn’t put it down and ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting. Not hyperbole: This is an amazing and remarkable baking book, for experienced bakers and novices alike. This cookbook has everything needed to successfully create delicious baked goods. It’s also a beautiful book, containing many mouthwatering photos of the completed recipes. Great vegan book too. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau is a true hostess and nurturer. She gives her vegan story concisely and not with a hitting others over the head style, but effectively. Various vegan/animal facts tips are interspersed throughout the book. Good short explanation of why we REALLY don’t need cow’s milk. (And the fact is, the flavor of vegan baked goods is undetectable from those baked goods that use animal products.) And the cookbooks I love the most have delicious recipes, of course, but I usually like the ones with humor also; this isn’t a funny book, but it is incredibly informational. Most recipes have extra information: a Compassionate Cooks’ Tip and/or a Did You Know and/or a short section on Food Lore (history of a food in a particular recipe), all of which I found so interesting. I’ve never seen a baking/cookbook with better instructions for having a positive experience making the recipes. The Appendixes are truly amazing and especially helpful for someone like me who doesn’t always know what baking terms mean. Great Defending Desserts section taking up 2 pages of the book, about how desserts are for treats, not for every meal eating, and so when making them one doesn't need to use healthier ingredients. (I usually do prefer whole wheat pastry flour to white flour though.) from the book’s table of contents: The Whys and Wherefores of Choosing Vegan The How-to’s and What-nots of Vegan Baking the recipes: Muffins, Biscuits, and Scones Savory Quick Breads Cakes and Cupcakes Pies and Tarts Brownies and Bars Crumbles, Cobblers, Crisps, and Whole Fruit Desserts Strudel, Crepes, Blintzes, and Pastries Yeast Breads and Rolls Mousses and Puddings Confections and Candy Sorbets, Shakes, and Smoothies Crusts for Pies and Tarts Hot and Cold Beverages Frostings, Sauces, Syrups, and Spreads from the appendixes: Baking Staples Ingredients Essential Kitchen Tools Resources and Recommendations Glossary of Terms (these are cooking terms) Cake Pan Substitutes Common Ingredients Yields and Equivalents Baking Soda and Baking Powder What’s the Difference? Suggested Reading Suggested Viewing Her index of recipes has 3 parts: a general index that includes all of the recipes, and then a Seasonal recipe index (winter, spring, summer, fall), and a Celebrations and Occasions index (Holiday - including food gifts, Breakfast & Brunch, Tea Party, Children’s Birthday Party.) The thing about this cookbook that rubbed me the wrong way is that most of the recipes call for Ener-G Egg Replacer. I feel like that's an admission that these recipes are somehow lacking in something that non-vegan recipes aren't. A good vegan recipe should work around the lack of eggs without Ener-G, as there are at least 10 things you can use as egg replacers that aren't called "Egg Replacer." Also, I have made some recipes in this book and the recipes themselves are written poorly. Things like, grease a baking sheet, mix the dough, and then wait an hour. Then put the dough on the baking sheet. Why grease a baking sheet an hour before its use? I also accidentally made 3x of a recipe because I used triple the water without realizing it until I got to the end of the recipe. Oops! Other than that, lots of recipes in here. At this point I already have a cookie cookbook, a cupcake cookbook, a quick-bread cookbook and an amazingly easy and delicious brownie recipe, so I'm only bookmarking a few recipes. It's not a cook book I'm dying to go out and purchase for my own library. Best part of the cookbook is the soft pretzel recipe. I made them and they were a definite hit at a party. (And I was even glad I had made three times too many!) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
