Rating: - This book ruined my weightloss :P
When I initially went vegan, I lost a bit of weight through cutting down on unhealthy snacks... then I bought this book and gained it all back on again, through having batches of delicious freshly made cake in my kitchen tempting me!
Weight gain aside, this book is fantastic, great value for money, using easy to find ingredients, and has easy-peasy recipes that even a total novice in the kitchen- like myself when I first went vegan- can follow.
So what if it's full of sugar and oil and not exactly healthy? Cakes are supposed to be a treat, and this book proves not all vegan food is bland or boring- just make sure you share your home baking with your friends and don't scoff the lot like I did! ;)
Rating: - Simple, easy recipies.
This is a short, simple recipe book for those of us who prefer eating cakes to making them. The writing style is entertaining and the book is simply illustrated as well.
The cakes in this book will not be the most elaborate, but even I can make them and they taste good to me. There are other books (eg, vegan baking) for the more gourmet chef, but if you just want to make a quick cake and eat it, this book is a must.
Rating: - Awful and I am being generous!!
I orginally purchased this book because I am a vegetarian/vegan and I wanted a couple of additional dairy and egg free cake recipes. However, it was an enormous disappointment. I did not like the recipes and most struck me as being unhealthy and an unpleasant melange of flour, sugar and oil with a few flavourings chucked in. I tried a few of the recipes but could not bide the taste.
This book is a waste of money and there is very little positive comment I can offer in supporting its purchase!! Indeed, there is not much to recommend it, except that it apparently is in support of Animal Aid which is the sole reason that it received two stars rather than one!!!
