Summary: the BEST vegan&natural foods baking book
Review: I used this book CONSTANTLY when I worked at a natural foods co-op as a baker.There are endless types of bread recipes from sweet yeasted breads to savory breads.There are TOO many options for vegan substitutes!!It is so wonderful to have access to so many yummy baked goodies that are healthy.I HIGHLY recommend this book for all bakers.

Summary: Good for Vegans
Review: This book has the best bread recipies using all natural ingredients for good health. Lots of useful substitutes for people who have special dietary needs. The Best. I did find the constant put down of our capitalistic system of free interprise uncalled for in a cook book. It seemed that the authors primary goal was to sell socialism.

Summary: Good for Vegans
Review: This is the book I learned to bake with as a vegan child. I learned firsthand that not every recipe is a winner, but I still go back to the pages stained with over fifteen years of use. I've wound up adjusting and revising my favorites, but I would still recommend this as a good reference, especially the section on substitutions for ingredients (if the reader is vegetarian or vegan - nothing really replaces butter and chocolate).

Summary: Period Piece That Still Works
Review: Uprisings would have earned 5 stars from me, but I do recommend this with a caveat that not all of the recipes work out all of the time. Most do, however, and those ingredients that may have seemed exotic back when are now available in most supermarkets or your local health food emporium. I continue to bake out of Uprisings, but I also love to read it because it's a great way to revisit the 1960s and 70s--a "you are there" type of experience. It is so very earnest.
