They truly do transform your favorite vegan treats with aquafaba
The recipes in this book are absolutely amazin. They truly do transform your favorite vegan treats with aquafaba. I wish the pages where smooth and filled with imagery, it's what woulid have given this recipe book a 5 star, alas, it didn't so 4 star it is. That being said, I truly enjoyed a new experience cooking with aquafaba so that we can expand our horizon for delicious sweets and treats. I never thought i'd be able to enjoy challah again but man, this book really helped whip it up and the recipes totally deliver! I highly recommend picking up this book for anyone who is missing their treats. It's so easy to say well, I am a vegan but I'll use eggs, just this once. This book allows you to not have to say that or feel guilty about using eggs - because you don't have to! This book is full of delicious and tasty recipes. I loved the ease of directions and instructions - every thing we've trie dmaking so far has turned out delicious!! On the plus side, there may be no photos but, it's less to compare too. :) Highyl recommend this book

this cookbook gives recipes for all the of the dessert classics like macaroons (which I did not know could be made ...
I was not familiar with Aquafaba before purchasing this book, but being a vegetarian and enjoying vegan cooking I am always looking for more ways to make baked goods accessible to my vegan friends. First, it's pleasing to the eye, which is a motivator when one thinks about vegan cooking. Second, this cookbook gives recipes for all the of the dessert classics like macaroons (which I did not know could be made vegan until now.) What is most important, to me, is the holiday sections because I am always looking for ways to make my vegan baking palatable for family holiday gatherings.

This is a great vegan book with fabulous recipes
I was not familiar with Aquafaba at all. This is a great vegan book with fabulous recipes, especially if you are new to using and making Aquafaba. As with anything new there is a trial period of finding what works for you. That is emphasized in this book several times. There are so many recipes. Recipes are divided into Breakfast, Cake, Candies, Mousses, pies and plated desserts, Cookies, Macarons, Ice cream, Holiday specials, Savory treats, and Spreads and dips. Once the Aquafaba is made, the other ingredients needed are probably already in your panty. Recipes are easy to follow. Yields, prep time and cook time are included in each recipe. The only information that I would like to know from this book is, what time frame is the Aquafaba good for?

FINALLY!!!
Our son has severe dairy allergies and just to keep things interesting, eggs (or ANYTHING with eggs in it - cake, noodles, etc.) makes him throw up. Trying to find recipes for things he loves that uses eggs in them - cakes, etc., is easy. Finding recipes that are actually tasty, doesn't use apple sauce, bananas, tofu - not so much. This book is WONDERFUL. Practical recipes for all kinds of tasty goodies, etc., that actually taste good and who knew that liquid we've all tossed down the drain could actually be a great substitute for eggs of all things.Thank you Kelsey Kinser for a great cookbook.

Book is amazing, but when you make the recipes
Book is amazing, but when you make the recipes, they are not always accurate. I just made Peanut Butter Blondies and Black Bean Brownies. The cooking times were hugely off, and I think there must have been a missing ingredient - like maybe some flour. I followed them exactly and had to throw them out. I would appreciate a website link to where the "editing fixes" are posted, before I waste time and money again. Also, need pictures, if nothing else, to prove that the recipes were actually made before they were printed.

Secret of the decade!
I heard about Aquafaba on a podcast. I love chickpeas and love that I can also use the water it’s cooked in. The tips are spectacular too. Great baking tips through and through.

disappointing
I've tried 2 recipes from this book going to the trouble of reducing the aquafaba first then making the butter. This recipe instructs you use a quart size glass. ( 2 pints) It only made less than half a measuring cup. O.K this is not too bad. next i tried the chocolate ice cream. Requires 1/4 cup of aquafaba and to mix it in a stand mixer, supposedly it would take 5 mins. First of all there was not enough aquafaba in the bowl to even touch the whisk and when it did froth it took me 20 mins. with all of the rest of the ingredient it didn't even make a measuring cup of icecream. Wont be using this book any more, I get more from the internet.

Loved the premise and the variety of recipes. My friend is an avid cake maker and this will give her the perfect opportunity to develop her skills with vegan bakes

Leider komplett ohne Bilder
Zu der Qualität der Rezepte kann ich nichts sagen, da ich sie nicht ausprobiert habe. Aber die Zeiten, in denen man ein Kochbuch komplett ohne Bilder herausbringen kann, sind meiner Meinung nach vorbei. Das geht im Zeitalter von Instagram und Foodblogs mit qualitativ hochwertigen Bildern gar nicht.

Disappointing
I was disappointed in this book. I was hoping that this would give options for making healthier version of treats, but really, all it does is just eliminate the need for eggs. Everything still requires lots of processed sugar. Also, I HATE cookbooks that don’t have pictures. I want to see if what I’m making looks like it’s supposed to. This book was a waste of money for me.
