Kick-ass vegan baking online

If ever there had been a moment that you conceded that your former favorite baked goods simply cannot be made vegan, then allow me to introduce you to Veganbaking.net. This website is chock-full of recipes for animal-product free classic treats—crepes, strawberry “pop tarts,” apple pie, “Jell-O” shots—and inventive ones—gingerbread waffles, caramel apple cheesecake, parsnip cake, peanut butter maple ice cream. It’s a community-collaborative site, so you can add your own recipes to its creative and compassionate cache. Its resources also include an international vegan-bakery directory, book and product reviews, cooking tips, and a Q-and-A forum called “Ask a Vegan Baker” with the site’s superstar concocter, Mattie. So get online and into the kitchen.
