My Sweet Vegan by Hannah Kaminsky

I was so excited to receive this book to review. My Sweet Vegan by Hannah Kaminsky published by Fleming Ink. My daughter loves to cook the sweet things. With her best friend staying with us it was perfect timing. They love the book. They have a whole list of recipes they want to try. My grocery list is getting longer and longer. I have to remind them that we can not live on dessert alone.
I love the ingredient list and baking supply list in the beginning of the book. When you make a switch from standard American diet baking to vegan baking it can be confusing. She explains the different ingredients very clearly. She talks about tools of the trade that will make baking so much easier for you.
The pictures in this book are amazing! The girls loved it the most for that- there is nothing like a great visual. There is even a allergy index in the back that is very handy.
The girls decided to make the Sesame Chews pg 176. Oh my goodness! We love those store bought sesame candies from the health food store- these are sooooo much better! They were simple to make. We all devoured them. I sent a few pieces with the hubs to band practice. They were so good he did not share. We can’t wait to try more recipes from this book. I will be posting pictures of them as we do, so stay tuned!
By the way, Hannah (the author) has a cool blog that I love to check out regularly: BitterSweet . Go check it out, you won’t be disappointed. This girl has it going on!
