Vegan Food Gifts: Review

I thought it only fitting to begin my new blog with a book that's appropriate for the upcoming "gift-giving" season.

Vegan Food Gifts: More Than 100 Inspired Recipes for Homemade Baked Goods, Preserves, and Other Edible Gifts Everyone Will Love

I'm sure you've probably seen or at least heard of this book by Joni Marie Newman. I have to say, that I was a bit skeptical when I first saw the title of homemade gifts. I am NOT one who is a DIYer! But, once I actually went through this book, I discovered that if I could make this AND the things turned out well, certainly anyone with less or just as much talent as I could do it too! This book is well worth the buy. No more going out and buying those gifts that looked as if you spent hours putting them together, when you can ACTUALLY make them yourself. What a novel idea.

Book Reviews

If you're like me, then before you buy that vegan cookbook, you wish that there was someone out there who has already tried and read those recipes. I am always on the lookout for vegan cookbooks some popular and well known, and some that are not. Either way, you will get my honest review; why? because I don't get paid to do this and before you spend the money come to me first and see if it's really worth it to buy.
