The Vegan Divas Cookbook is a beautiful, elegant, and delicious cookbook full of healthy, cruelty-free fare from Fernanda Capobianco, owner of the Vegan Divas Bakery in New York City.
Fernanda began her confectionary career as a manager and owner of the Payard Restaurant and Pastry shops in Rio de Janeiro. In The Vegan Divas Cookbook she makes vegan cooking easy and accessible, with more than 75 recipes for sweet and savory dishes without butter, eggs, or refined sugars and flour, accompanied by dozens of color photographs. Unlike many vegan cookbooks that rely heavily on grains and nuts, her fresh and wholesome recipes offer all the benefits of a plant-based diet, plus a light and healthy dose of flavor.
In The Vegan Divas Cookbook, Fernanda guides you step-by-step through the basics of plant-based cooking and baking, offering tips for stocking a healthier pantry and easy swaps to replace animal-based oils and fats for healthier, lighter dishes. Discover the secrets to her coveted low-cal desserts, including remakes of familiar classics like Chocolate Chip Cookies and show-stopping treats like Lime-Raspberry Cheesecake Pie. Go guilt-free with savory lunches like Spiced Red Lentil and Coconut Milk Soup, and stay low-fat and full-fiber with hearty loaf breads (some gluten-free) such as Jalapeno Corn Bread.

Title: Beautiful cookbook, delicious and healthful results!
Review: I work on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and I love the Vegan Divas cafe. Her sweets are delicious without hurting my conscience or my waistline! I particularly love their cheesecakes, brownies, and carrot cake.So, when I saw this cookbook, I just had to buy it. I enjoy baking, and want to get her goodies without spending $55 for a cake!The pictures in the book are gorgeous, and she has an upfront section explaining any odd/vegany ingredients she uses. Most of the ingredients are commonly found and "make sense". Her recipes are full of healthful ingredients that save on calories while still having the decadence of real sugar and some real fat.The only reason I gave this four stars instead of five is that it doesn't have any nutrition info for the goodies, so you have to figure it out for yourself if you're calorie counting.

Title: Vegan book supports meat eating?? Bleh.
Review: checked this out from the library having only read the cover I figured a "famed New York City bakery" must have some good recipes. Was not impressed by this book. Many recipes *require* certain tools and there's no alternative methods listed (bread machine used often). The few items I was interested in making I either couldn't because I don't have the equipment or decided not to because the ingredients didn't sound appetizing or required way too much butter. My biggest issue with this book was while reading the introduction. No matter the reason for why you were lead to veganism people should care about the suffering and murder of billions of animals a year, especially a vegan. When the author states she doesn't care what meat eaters eat because it's their own business she couldn't be more wrong. If they want to make themselves sick with what they eat that is their business. However, the moment someone infringes on another beings rights and life to satisfy their own desires that is crossing the line and is not acceptable. As a vegan owning a successful vegan business and writing vegan books I would expect the author to not condone these behaviors - I find it an offensive hypocrisy and hope that she sees the errors of her ways.

Title: Too much soy
Review: If you're trying to avoid soy (which I am), this cookbook isn't for you, unless you find substitutes for the soy milk and other soy products she uses in her recipes. I haven't tried any substitutions yet, but I will and report back.
