Summer Reading Series Giveaway: Two Dessert Cookbooks!

July 14, 2010 Giveaways

Here we are in week two of the summer reading series and I have two awesome vegan full-color dessert cookbooks to giveaway. Even if you already have one of these gems, they make beautiful full-color gifts for the holidays (is it ever to early to plan ahead?) …

Sweet Utopia: Simply Stunning Vegan Desserts
This full color cookbook from Sharon Valencik won over a foodie friend and avid vegan baker who writes reviews for Go Dairy Free. She was immediately pleased with the beautiful photography and the easy-to-follow recipes, but hooked after sampling some of the near perfect cookie recipes. Of course, this cookbook doesn’t stop with cookies … cakes, pies, muffins, cobblers, bread pudding, and more can all be found within.

  •  The Look: With a scrumptious photo for every recipe, what’s not to like?
  • Sample Recipe: Fudgy Chip Cookies

Sweet Utopia - Vegan Desserts

My Sweet Vegan: passionate about dessert
Though she always throws in some classics (like Black and White Cookies and Pumpkin Pecan Pie) the author, Hannah Kaminsky, is well-known for adding new twists to old favorites (think Baklava Tart and Not Nog Cupcakes), and coming up with completely unique new concepts (how about Green Tea Tiramisu and Pomegranate-Ginger Cupcakes). This author focuses almost exclusively on desserts in all of her culinary adventures, so she definitely knows her sweets.

  • The Look: Full color throughout with a picture for every recipe … gift cookbooks don’t get much better than this.
  • Sample Recipes: Five-Minute Coconut Fudge and Root Beer Float Cupcakes

    I would love this cook book because not only am i intolerant to Milk Protein but i’m also trying to general live a healthier lifestyle, following the Hippocrates Health Institution believes that living a raw food/ Vegan diet and exercising the body and mind prolongs the individuals lease on life and eliminates illness and ailments. Unfortunutly my knowledge of yummy tasting Dairy free/ vegan recipes is some what limited, i would really love to not only varie my diet by knowing more recipes but more importantly would love to start loving food again, love making yummy food and eating delicious tasting food, especially deserts 🙂
