I'm not sure if this allowed, but it'll get deleted if not!
As much as I love my cookbook collection, these three are pretty much just collecting dust, and I'm moving to NYC soon, and need to consolidate my stuffs!
Simple Treats by Ellen Abraham.
For anyone allergic to wheat or dairy, finding a good dessert can be a challenge. Welcome to the wonderful world of Simple Treats. Those who might need wheat-free baked goods or are simply looking for alternatives to traditional sugar-, fat-, and dairy-laden desserts can now enjoy scrumptious baked confections.
This collection of recipes for tried and true delicacies and best-sellers are from Simple Treats Bakery on Cape Cod in Eastham, Massachusetts. They are straight-forward, easy to follow, and turn out great. Enjoy making muffins and breads, cookies, cakes, cremes, frostings, and glazes. Includes tips for baking vegan-style, stocking a baking pantry, and sources for ingredients and equipment.
I've only used this book for one recipe, and it's pretty much in brand spanking new condition. I'm asking $9 ppd for this.
Sinfully Vegan by Lois Dieterly.
What better way to end a meal than with a luscious piece of cheesecake, a rich slice of chocolate cream pie, or some chewy peanut butter cookies-all made with healthy and delicious vegan ingredients? In Sinfully Vegan, author Lois Dieterly shows you how to do just that, with over 140 vegan dessert recipes that allow you to pamper your palate with healthy foods and still indulge in all your favorite sweets. Dieterly has "veganized" the traditional desserts we all know and love-like chocolate cake, fudge, cheesecake, apple pie, and strawberry shortcake-without sacrificing their sensational flavor, and has created dozens of mouth-watering confections that are guaranteed to satisfy even the most discerning dessert-lover. Sinfully Vegan covers the full spectrum of desserts-from cakes, candies, cookies, and brownies to pies, tarts, puddings, and quick breads.
This book has so many great recipes, but I'm really just not using it as often as I should be. It's been used a couple times for brownie recipes, and is in perfect condition. Asking $10 ppd.
Vegan with a Vengeance by Isa Chandra.
To appreciate this quirky vegan cookbook, readers must welcome the author's offhand, rambling style. A chatty Brooklynite who hosts her own public access cooking show, she scatters stories about her mother, her friends and her politics among recipes for goodies like Fresh Corn Fritters and Curried Split Pea Soup. In one anecdote, she writes that her mother liked the scones from "one of those overpriced French cafes in Union Square," prompting the author to create Glazed Orange scones in her mother's honor, and the sweet, rich result rivals the average "overpriced café" model. BBQ Pomegranate Tofu is actually baked, not barbecued, but still the tofu is rich and smoky, terrific over rice or packed into heroes. Even better, the vegan iterations of Spanakopita and Seitan-Portobello Stroganoff so closely approximate the traditional versions that even the pickiest eaters would happily trade one for the other. And although there's no chicken broth in Matzoh Ball Soup, the vegetable stock is hearty enough to cure the fiercest cold. Best of all, and rare in a vegan cookbook, the author provides several appealing dairy-free desserts that are tasty enough to fool most omnivores, yet unique enough to thrill any vegan who just can't face another tofu ice cream bar.
Everyone is raving about this book, but (don't kill me!) I personally was far from thrilled. I made cookies, and the Alfreda recipe, but the book is in tip top shape. Asking $10 ppd.
If you'd like all three, I'll give them to you for $27 ppd.
