One of my all-time favorite cookbooks is Patrick-Goudreau's The Joy of Vegan Baking. I checked out this book from the library thinking (hoping/wishing) this would be a regular cookbook to sit alongside her baking masterpiece in the pantheon. Oh well. It's a great intro to veganism for newbies, and there are some fun recipes included to kickstart a vegan eating plan, but it just wasn't the book I wanted. ( )
