MY THOUGHTS

In the first year, after receiving this book as a gift, I've made 20 of the 100 recipes. The results of those recipes have all been amazing! Ms. Holechek offers some invaluable information, tips, and suggestions. I also like her difficulty rating system for each recipe. I've found the book's scale of 1 to 4 whisks extremely helpful when allotting time to prepare a recipe. Her instructions are easy to follow and the results are delectable!

If you're dealing with certain allergies, as I am, this book can be great. If you need dairy or egg free, this is a great book to start with. Someone have a peanut allergy? I substitute soynut butter for the peanut butter in the recipes with tasty results.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who likes to bake with positive results—vegan or not.
