I ordered this cookbook in order to make desserts for my daughter who is allergic to milk products. I am also mostly vegetarian and try to buy organic when I can. I have found the recipes in this book to be delicious! I cannot tell that they are sans milk products. I had been making some brownies from scratch using vegetable shortening in place of butter... these all taste SOOOO much better! She does incorporate whole wheat flour and other natural ingredients. My husband, who usually dislikes things made with whole wheat flour, has enjoyed all of the deserts I've made without comment about the different flavor that the flour can bring. I am quite happy with that, too-because the desserts can be enjoyed by everyone in the family-even those who aren't as welcoming of the natural ingredients in other recipes.A minor negative I found is that a lot of the recipes I've made, so far, seem to have quite a bit of maple syrup in them-which can get expensive. I love pure maple syrup, though, so I still give the book 5 stars and would recommend it as a good baking book to even non-vegan cooks.
