Chloe's Vegan Desserts is an amazing collection of easy to make desserts. The lemon poppy seed muffins are amazing! Don't be a cheap ass like me and use almond milk instead of a can of coconut milk, it really does make a difference. Bake some vegan treats yourself for an eighth of what they cost at vegan bakeries. Then with all that money you save, go buy her new book.
So far I've made the French Toast, Sweet Tamale Cakes, and the Fiesta Mac & Cheese. The French Toast was really good, using something similar to a crepe batter to coat the bread. The tamale cakes were a little sweet to me, similar to cornbread. But the siracha mayo you serve it with was banging! I wasn't sure about the Fiesta Mac & Cheese, it did have a picture and it wasn't that pretty. Even my daughter, who likes mac n' cheese any way she can get it, was unsure about this one. The end result was so good! Full-flavored, rich and creamy, it reminded me Hamburger Helper sans dead cow.
IS IT VEGAN-FRIENDLY? Of course.
WOULD I BUY IT? Hell yes. Bottom line, Chloe Coscarelli makes great food. If you get to go to her restaurant, go, it's worth it. In the meantime, go buy Chloe Flavor, and then go buy her other books. These are the recipes that will convince your family and friends that vegans aren't sitting around eating nothing but salad, tofu, and Buddha bowls. You can thank me later.
I received a free copy of this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for this review. There was no obligation to give a positive review, and if you read my blog, you know I'm a tell-it-like-it-is kind of girl. I mean what I say and say what I mean, that holds true for my review.
