This book has many good recipes for sweets and deserts suitable for vegans. Many of these recipes sound delicious and I have suggested this book to other vegetarians in my family.A vegan or vegetarian who is serious about avoiding all animal products in their diet needs to look critically at all the things they eat. This book uses a number of ingredients that a vegan or a vegetarian might want to check if the particular ones they get really contain no animal products.Personally I am a vegetarian and not a vegan but one of the things I try to avoid is white sugar, and brown sugar made by adding molasses to white sugar. Some, but not all, white sugar makers use charcoal made from cattle bones for filtering out some of the natural colours of the cane sugar. Some of the recipes in this book specify white sugar. Maple syrup is another thing that a serious vegan might want to be careful about because some, but not all, maple syrups have been made using small amounts of animal products in their refining.However, this is not a serious criticism of the book because most vegans will know about white and brown sugar and maple syrup already and if they want to use it will have found their own sources suitable for vegans.
