Sweet Utopia has become my girls new favorite vegan dessert book. They love a cookbook full of pictures especially when it is of the sweet stuff! The pictures are amazing, photos are done by Milan Valencik. Just the other day while I was at the store they made a batch of lemon cookies that were so good! They are on page 64. They had saved some for pictures but we couldn’t find our camera card- so they got eaten up before we got a picture.
Sharon Valencik wrote the book. She has a wonderful website HERE. Her website has several recipes and pictures of some of the desserts from the book. Book Publishing Company is the publisher.
