SV Cookbook Review: The Joy of Vegan Baking

Winner, Cookbook of the Year, VegNews, By Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, long-time vegan, animal activist, and founder of Compassionate Cooks

'The Joy of Vegan Baking' is a wonderful introduction to vegan baking, useful for both experienced and beginner cooks.

Too many vegan dessert recipes created by well intentioned vegan cookbook authors are so full of healthy ingredients that the resulting dessert seems more closely related to ship ballast then to birthday cake. That's not a problem in Patrick-Goudreau's cookbook.

From 'Defending Desserts', The Joy of Vegan Baking: "Whenever we get to the dessert portion of my cooking classes, invariably there is someone in the audience who asks whether he or she could use maple syrup instead of sugar, carob instead of chocolate, prunes instead of oil, etc. I remind that person that we're making chocolate cake — no matter what I do to it, it's not going to turn into broccoli. There’s a time for broccoli and there's a time for chocolate cake."

The Joy of Vegan Baking offers a range of delectable desserts that could never be mistaken for broccoli. I didn't make the chocolate cake, but the lemon blueberry muffins, lemon bars, coconut pudding, and pancakes that I tested were easy to make and eaten by my family with gratifying enthusiasm.

In addition to the recipes, Patrick-Goudreau offers an in depth explanation of dairy and egg substitutions that will allow her readers to make other non-vegan dessert recipes vegan. She also has several useful appendices covering such topics as baking terms, ingredients, and more.

Patrick-Goudreau makes a compelling argument for the vegan lifestyle in her introduction. As she points out: 'There are no neutral actions ... We get to choose not whether we want to make a difference but whether we want to make a positive difference or a negative difference.'
