Simply Vegan Baking (recipes by a Yorkshire lass!)
Simply Vegan Baking is a book by former Great British Bake-off contestant Freya, to show how familiar recipes can be made without eggs, dairy or butter. From simple cakes and traybakes and bread to desserts and showstopping cakes, the faff-free recipes include many traditional favourites like:
Read up on food safety for people and pets. For tinned ingredients, rinse/remove lids (or pop ring-pulls over holes) then step on upper cans to pinch rims together, to stop wildlife getting trapped.
Unless you have food waste bins, just bin pepper and allium scraps (onion, leeks, garlic, shallot, chives), citrus/tomato/rhubarb scraps. To avoid acids harming compost creatures.
Recipes include:
- Lemon Rum Cake (above)
- Oat Cookies
- Bakewell Tart
- Carrot Cake
- Banoffee Pie Slices
- Lemon Meringue Pie
- Cinnamon Rolls
- Salted Caramel Cupcakes
- Vegan Chocolate Orange Cake
