Rawsome Vegan Baking: An Un-cookbook for Raw, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Beautiful and Sinfully Sweet Cookies, Cakes, Bars Cupcakes Reviews

Great book, helped me to get a jump start on adapting my cooking to cater for a family member with multiple allergies :)

I wasn't familiar with the This Rawsome Vegan Life blog before I pre ordered this book back in the fall, but love raw recipes, and ordered it on a whim. I am so happy I did! If you like cookbooks with lots of color photographs and amazing recipes, you will love this!The book is divided into the following main sections:* Introduction* Cakes and Cupcakes* Bites, Bars, and Cookies* Pies and Tarts* Pudding and Ice Cream* Basic RecipesEmily von Euw, the author, listed a complete list of the recipes on her blog, so I'll post that list at the end of my review since it's rather long. I own a small collection of raw cookbooks already, but, as you'll see once you look over the recipe list, I think that this one has some really unique flavor combinations that made me so glad that I took a chance on it!Since I just got the book today, I have only made one recipe myself the Chia Vanilla Pudding but I've also had the chance to taste the Carrot Cake with Cashew Cream Cheese Frosting and the Jungle Pie (which features bananas and coconut with a chocolate drizzle on top) since one of my good friends got her book yesterday on her Nook and made them last night. Lucky me for she brought me a slice of each today at work! All three recipes have been absolutely delicious!The Introduction is just a quick two page set up about the author and the book, and from there you jump right into the recipes. All of them are gluten free and vegan, so they're also free from dairy and eggs.Each recipe has a short "blurb" about it, and then the step by step instructions are clearly laid out. There is no nutritional information given, but that personally isn't a deterrent for me when I'm ordering a dessert cookbook. : )What I also love are the gorgeous, full color photos that accompany each recipe. I personally love cookbooks that include photos since they inspire me to want to make the recipes and these are so good that I think I gained five pounds just from looking at them! ; )Like other raw recipes, these recipes also require easy to find ingredients, like raw nuts, oats, dates, seeds, coconut oil, fresh fruit, etc. You'll also want to have a good food processor on hand to make the recipes. Also unique is that even though a few recipes call for nuts, van Euw unlike other raw food cooks has specifically moved away from them exclusively as the foundation of her recipes, and uses oats and buckwheat groats in their stead. I really like this it will cut down on the fat content and make me feel less guilty about indulging.I also want to mention that the special binding on this is fantastic; when you open it up, the pages lay flat and don't close on themselves, which makes it such a pleasure to work from.Some other really good raw dessert cookbooks that I like because of their simple and yet tasty recipes are Ani's Raw Food Desserts: 85 Easy, Delectable Sweets and Treats , Practically Raw Desserts: Flexible Recipes for All Natural Sweets and Treats , and Pure Pleasures Cupcake Heaven: Raw Food Sweets That Make Your Heart Skip a Beat. When I eat treats from these books, I feel like I'm indulging in foods that not only taste good, but are good for me since they're plant based.This is a great book, and one that I know I'll use a lot!Finally, I'll end with a complete list of all the recipes, as copied from the This Rawsome Vegan Life blog.Cakes & Cupcakes· Cashew coffee vanilla crème cake with cinnamon chocolate crust· Super

Boring and repetitive recipes and ingredients. Most recipes look the same and use the same few repeated ingredients like raw cashews and pitted dates. I figure that they all taste very similar and hence I find them boring. Not alot of variety and creativity here and I am considering to return this book.

Backen ohne backen und BackofenZutaten werden einfach roh vermengt und somit wunderbare Kekse, Muffins, Kuchen, Torten hergestellt..wunderbar, einfach , lecker und mal etwas anderes.Zusätzlich sind die rohen Zutaten gesünder, auch wenn sie in der Kalorienanzahl nicht unter dem normalen Süßspeisen sind.Leider gibt es dieses Buch bis dato nur in Englisch.es ist aber einfach und verständlich geschrieben.
-
Ein super geniales Buch für alle Süßmäuler. Bin fester Fan der Autorin und mag ihre Kreativität. Zu jedem Rezept gibt es ein Foto. Dazu Zutaten, die man auch gut bekommt.

Sehr leichte Rezepte mit schöne Foto's ,und mit nicht so viele Ingredienten.Ein Muss nicht nur für Veganer aber für alle die gesünder Naschen wollen ohne auf Geschmack zu verzichten.
