Chloe’s Vegan Desserts: Over 100 Exciting New Recipes for Cookies and Pies, Tarts and Cobblers, Cupcakes and Cakes—and More!

On a mission to “veganize” desserts, Chloe Coscarelli is back with a second title, focusing on sweets sans standard baking ingredients such as eggs, milk, butter, and honey. Over 100 tempting recipes are organized in chapters including “Dessert for Breakfast,” “Spoon Desserts,” and “Drink Up!” While gluten-free flour, rice milk, arrowroot, and vinegar occupy the ingredient lists, decadent creations such as Apple Cider Donut Holes, Tiramisu Pancakes, and Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake still pay off. The first vegan chef to win a Food Network Challenge, the author has included her awarded Chocolate Orange Cupcake with Candied Orange Peel recipe. A section on allergy-free baking and gluten-free options in recipes makes this title a fit for those with restricted diets. The lack of nutritional information and calorie counts stands out, but full-color photos and a clean design make this a well-packaged book. (Feb.)
