COPY ISBN
Diegel, a pastry chef and blogger at spatulascorkscrews.typepad.com, covers all aspects of vegan baking in her first full-length cookbook. The author assumes nothing about skill level (she mentions how to boil water in the glossary) and begins with a handy starter guide to vegan baking and a helpful list of egg and dairy substitutions. This book has it all: muffins, coffee cakes, cookie jar classics, pies, cobblers and crisps, and tarts and galettes, with buttercream, cream cheese, coconut, and penuche frostings. There are also a number of yeast breads and flat breads to try. Diegel lists her favorite vegan books, websites, and blogs. If you have to pick just one book on vegan baking, this is it.
