Yummaroo!

If you are looking for a wonderful natural cookbook with yummy recipes...congrats...you found it. I have been using this book over and over. Even my co workers love most of the things I bake. I love to bake and I have MANY cookbooks...some natural, some regular...but this one is the best. I love the use of something other than white flour, sugars, and dairy. As I have said...It is YUMMAROO!

Helpful tips-delicious recipes!

Meredith McCarty has succeeded in providing us with a guide to healthy dessert making while being very conscientious of a totally vegan lifestyle. Everything we've tasted from the recipes in this book have been delicious and straighforward to make. The book's also packed full of explanations of how certain ingredients won't work, gives suggestions on ones that will and offers gorgeous pictures of the finished product. I highly recommend this to all vegans looking for desserts to serve family and friends alike!
