Kaminsky (My Sweet Vegan) groups egg- and dairy-free dessert recipes according to seasons of the year and showcases local ingredients. The color photography is appetizing and transforms unusual-sounding dishes like Avocado Crème Pie and Carrot Cake Ice Cream into standouts. There are vegan versions of Hamantashen and Rosh Hashanah Rugelach to bake on Jewish holidays, and Kaminsky's troubleshooting tips are helpful for all skill levels. The section on vegan sweeteners is very useful but would have been better placed at the beginning of the book. Included is a special food allergy index for the gluten-, peanut-, soy-, or tree nut-intolerant. Recommended for its inventive and easy-to-prepare dishes.
