The Vegan Pastry Bible

Written by the founder of a vegan pastry academy in Barcelona, Wildslice, The Vegan Pastry Bible offers more than 100 recipes supported by 500 step-by-step photos for creating a full range of vegan baked goods.  Chef Toni Rodriguez created one of the first vegan patisseries in Europe, developing his own recipes and experimenting with different products to replace animal-based ingredients. The first set of recipes he presents here are for creating in-house vegan alternatives, from milks and whipping cream, to cooking cream, decorative buttercream, pastry cream, praline, and caramel. These components are used in preparing a wide range of desserts: Sponge cakes Viennoiserie Breakfast and snack items Cookies and shortbreads Macarons and petit-fours Chocolate desserts Pastries Creams, flans and mousses Among them are an olive-oil based puff pastry dough, crostata, pecan pie, meringue that will produce ethereal macarons, flourless chocolate cakes, and cannoli.
