I’m a kidlit author myself. I’ve written two middle-grade novels, one of which is all about having a food allergy, but my interest in food allergies is all due to my first kid. Amelia was born with multiple allergies to common ingredients like eggs and dairy. At first it was hard! Figuring out how to cook for her at home and keep her safe when she was in school or at a friend’s house felt daunting and frightening, so we turned to books for advice, recipes, and education for the entire family. Even if your reader isn’t the one with allergies, they’ve no doubt got a classmate or family member who does.
As a food allergy parent, I bought a lot of cookbooks so I could make safe meals and treats for my allergic child, and The Divvies Bakery Cookbook was one of our family’s favorites, even for the non-allergic members of the household. The recipes are delicious, the photos are gorgeous, and Sandler, the parent of a child with multiple food allergies, makes it easy and fun to duplicate all sorts of beloved desserts without nuts, eggs, or dairy. You may also find the simple recipes that use common household substitutions are fun ones to make together.
THE DIVVIES BAKERY COOKBOOK is an opportunity for the millions of people who are dealing with serious food allergies to put the sweet back in their kitchens. With an assortment of delicious recipes, free of the four major food allergens – peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, and eggs (all vegan!), Lori Sandler offers sweet treats that everyone can enjoy and share ANY time: at birthday parties, snack time, bake sales, holidays, picnics, dessert time, and just because. What ingredients are left out have been replaced by double dollops of the good and the gooey – like chocolate, oatmeal, and molasses, –…
Like many others, due to allergies, I had to rethink conventional techniques in the kitchen. I started creating new recipes with alternative ingredients, aiming to make a tiered cake that showcased thoughtful choices and beautiful designs. By avoiding processed ingredients, I achieved delicate, moist textures with rich flavors and colors. Working with alternative ingredients keeps me inspired by nature, which I love—it's all about creativity and exploration, using perishable ingredients to create edible sculptures. I owe my journey and ability to experiment to past mentors who taught me about unique flavor pairings and creative baking techniques. Their guidance was essential to my journey and the creation of my cookbook.
I discovered raw baking later in my vegan pastry career and have always admired chefs like Charlie Trotter for their impressive plating, which highlights pure ingredients and sets new standards for traditional techniques.
For me, raw baking represents a contemporary evolution of that approach. When my allergies were at their worst, I followed a raw diet that inspired me to cook without heat. This required eliminating processed salt, sugar, dairy, grains, and oils, focusing instead on raw ingredients and simple combinations.
As I experimented with raw baking, I loved its silky textures, natural flavors, and vibrant colors. It awakened my taste buds. This book taught me the basics of raw baking and how to create desserts using only nuts, fruits, and cacao.

I received this book as a gift in 2006, just a year after its release, and I was immediately captivated by Peggy's sophisticated modern interpretations of classic cakes and dessert designs. During my time in culinary school, I frequently referred to their designs for inspiration and studied their techniques.
When it was time for me to write my cookbook, I naturally drew guidance from the layout style of their book, which made it easy to follow with its recipes, unique designs, and fresh takes on classics showcased through inspiring photography.
Forget the image of maiden aunts and country fairs - cake decorating has become cutting edge And Peggy Porschen is at the front of this trend.

Many bakers keep The Joy of Baking in their kitchens. When I started vegan baking, I realized I needed a vegan version of this classic book. I had a traditional cooking background and worked for classic cake designers and bakeries, so I didn’t know much about vegan baking at that time. The vegan baking community is mainstream now, but when I started, it felt like entering a new world with many unknowns and stereotypes.
This was before Eleven Madison Park made plant-based fine dining popular and before many restaurants and bakeries offered vegan options. Almost everywhere I go now serve delicious dishes that might not seem vegan at all. This book changed my view on vegan baking and is still relevant today.
Baking without eggs or dairy is a joy and equally as delectable with The Joy of Vegan Baking, Revised and Updated Edition.
Whether you want to bake dairy- and egg-free for health, ethical, or environmental reasons, this updated edition of The Joy of Vegan Baking lets you have your cake and eat it too! With familiar favorites including cakes, cookies, crepes, pies, puddings, and pastries this book will show you just how easy, convenient, and delectable baking without eggs and dairy can be.

This book quickly became a source of inspiration for playing with vegan and gluten-free desserts. It offers a wide range of recipes, including cookies, bread, cakes, and pies. I was particularly impressed by the experimentation with gluten-free mixes.
Their approach to revitalizing classic recipes with alternative ingredients helped me rethink how to modify traditional recipes when omitting standard ingredients.
When Jennifer Katzinger opened The Flying Apron Bakery in 2002, she wanted to accommodate more people, as well as use healthier ingredients so she eliminated gluten, dairy, egg and wheat. The mouthwatering result? Cakes and muffins with a tender crumb, cookies with a chewy bite, frosting that's light yet satisfyingly sweet and pastry that flakes at the touch of a fork. In "Flying Apron's Gluten-Free and Vegan Baking Book", Katzinger shares the delicious secrets of her sweet and savoury recipes. Bake yummy pastries like Blueberry Cinnamon Scones and Lemon Poppy Seed muffins, or whip up a batch of Chocolate Chip…

I’ve been living a semi-nomadic lifestyle and traveling the globe for all my adult life, and travel has truly shaped who I am. In 2014, when I learned about the many advantages of a vegan lifestyle for my health, the planet, and the animals, I felt compelled to make the change.
There was one thing holding me back, though, which was the fear that being vegan would ruin travel. Fortunately, I gave it a trial run anyway during a three-week trip to Greece and discovered that being vegan actually made traveling even more fun! Ever since, I’ve been sharing my global vegan discoveries on my website, the Nomadic Vegan.
I hesitate to recommend vegan guidebooks about specific destinations, because in most cases I find them unnecessary. If all you need are listings of veg-friendly restaurants, that kind of info is generally best found on the Internet or on apps like HappyCow, as it changes so quickly.
Japan, however, is one destination where it’s really helpful to have some background info about the local language and culture as it applies to vegan travel. Jesse Duffield has made multiple trips to Japan and offers insights that most foreign tourists simply wouldn’t know about.
The traditional food eaten in Japan is largely plant-based, and yet it can be surprisingly difficult to avoid hidden animal ingredients such as dashi, the fish-based stock used in most soups and sauces. This book will help you to navigate the fascinating but confusing world of Japanese cuisine and enjoy the many culinary delights it has to…
July 2021 Update Sadly, many vegan restaurants have closed over the last year and a half, and I am unable to visit Japan to update this book, and with such heavy restrictions on tourism, there would be little point in doing so. It has not been updated since March (2021) and is unlikely to be updated in the foreseeable future. However, this book could still be useful for anyone planning a trip for when the borders re-open. I am therefore reducing the price to $2.99 (the minimum price allowed on Amazon).
