Summary: Simple Treats
Comment: Simple treats has a lot of variety and good recipe ideas, but almost every recipe I have tried I have to alter in some way the next time I make it so that it turns out well. It is almost like the authors did not actually bake the treats before putting the recipes in this book! As an experienced baker, I know how to alter the recipe so that it works, but it would be hard for someone who does not have experience in the kitchen to do this. I would not recommend this book to a novice baker!

Summary: mmm crack brownies..
Comment: i'm not vegan, but sometimes break out if i eat too much dairy, so i decided to buy this book. i was skeptical because a lot of vegan stuff you buy from health food stores tastes really flavorless. seriously though, the blondies are better than any blondies i have tried. the brownies are so yummy too. none of my friends believed me that they were dairy free. this book is great and the recipes pretty much use a lot of the same ingredients in different ratios, so you don't have to buy tons and tons of ingredients. i really love this book.

Summary: Great and Healthy
Comment: I have tried all kinds of vegan and wheat free baking, and most of it tastes awful. Not so with this cookbook. The highest praise came from an 86 year old master baker, who LOVED the carrot cake. And she eats everything. So far, only comments are: 1- Be careful with the oats which she has you grind into a course flour. How you do this makes or breaks the cookies. 2- we live at altitude, add 5-10 minutes to all cakes and breads if you do not want them mushy.
Overall, very impressed. Wheat and Dairy eating friends gobble this stuff up, and it is overall so healthy.

Summary: Great for Vegans
Comment: I've made multiple recipes from this book. Although barley flour is used in almost every recipe, with some experimentation, I'm sure other flours will be good substitutes. The barley flour does result in darker final baked products. The baked goods do not come out too sweet (a lot of maple syrup is used) and the recipes recommend date/prune sugar, which I have no idea where to get. Instead, I use regular evaporated cane sugar or brown sugar, which is less preferred, but more accessible. Plus the recipes I've tried did not require a whole bunch of dry sugar. Very versatile book, ENJOY!

Summary: I use this cookbook at least once a week
Comment: I bought this cookbook 8 months ago so I could make a cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday that she could eat--she has been off dairy and wheat since her first birthday. From chocolate cupcakes to zucchini bread, every recipe is delicious and "real" enough to serve to friends and family. Our favorites are the blueberry muffins, zucchini bread, coffee cake and the almond butter and chocolate chip cookies that are AMAZING! My daughter loves every recipe we have tried, and I feel great knowing that she is eating such healthy food. So far everything freezes really well, too.
I love the fact that this is wheat free, not gluten free. If you don't have to worry about avoiding gluten...you have a lot more tasty options. And this cookbook has plenty of examples. The authors also do not use white sugar and you don't miss it at all. They do a great job with easy recipes for moist, yummy baked goods. I no longer eat white sugar, wheat or dairy so we are relying on this cookbook even more now.
The cornbread recipe has a typo that I noticed way too late--tablespoons instead of teaspoons for baking soda and baking powder.
