My daughter has multiple food intolerances, so I find vegan recipes very suitable for her (although I do still need to do some tweeking). I note that the vegan butter has soy, which is something she cannot have. She eats Nuttelex butter (which is all...

Hi, I'm trying to create a quarter page or half page introduction to vegan baking to hand out. I imagine the flyer would mostly talk about how to substitute eggs and dairy. Can you point me to an article or other resources on this site or elsewhere t...

Hello! I'm a new Vegan and I am also gluten and soy free. I'm still fairly lost when it comes to picking basic ingredients that I can have, and I was hoping someone could help. I've searched and searched for breads that I can have but haven't been ab...

Hi! My sister-in-law is a vegan and is going through chemo right now. She's having a very hard time so in response to what I could do to bless her, she asked for some cookies. She is supposed to have high fiber, low to no simple sugars, no dyes. She ...

Hi everyone! The holidays do weird things to bakers, and being vegan, at least I want to convert every seemingly incongruous recipe to my diet. Baumkuchen doesn't seem to have been veganized yet so maybe that's next. If you've never had it, it's sort...

The celebration pumpkin pie calls for barley malt syrup. I live in a small town in the Deep South and cannot buy barley malt syrup locally. In my bread recipes I substitute molasses but didn't know if that would be too strong for the pie. Any ideas o...

There is no recipe for German Chocolate Frosting here on veganbaking! I just made one based on thickening the frosting with cornstarch (instead of the original egg yolks). The texture is just wrong, like pudding. Mattie, or anyone, do you have any id...

Help! I'm allergic to soy (as well as dairy, corn, egg yolk, tomato... Not all relevant to my vegan desires, obviously, but all difficult). Oh: sensitive to canola, too. Without the curdling, can I make decent butter from almond, grapeseed, sunflower...

My vegan muffins are crumbly, and sort of dry even though i put in heaps of freshly grated apples. Any suggestions or reasons why this might be?...

I'm great at baking with a recipe. I can even put my own spin on recipes I find. What I want to be able to do is start creating my own recipes from scratch. I feel like this involves understanding more about the chemistry of how different ingredients...

Hi Tried to ask this question but it doesnt seem to have appeared so sorry will ask again... Is all the salt in soy flavoured products bad for you if you have too much? Im a very new vegan and loving it so am reading all I can about it. J...

Hello, Last week I tried to make vegan cakepops. The cake and the frosting were no problem. Instead of the candy melts from Wilton I used rice-chocolate from Sweet William but the rice-chocolate-coating didn´t harden again at room-temper...

I'd like to bring my usual chocolate buttercrunch matzoh, but I'm having trouble re-creating the buttercrunch, without butter. The original recipe calls for 1 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, stir on the stovetop for 2-4 minutes, and then...

This may be a bit off topic, but does spirulina powder need to be refrigerated? I have so much (bought a whole pound), there's no way I'm gonna use it all any time soon! Hugs from one vegan baker to another. ...

I'm a novice when it comes to baking without eggs, milk or dairy butter. I can make a few things thanks to Cybele Pascal's awesome books and my mother's constant determination to experiment. I can get some cakes to rise but i have definitely heard co...

Hey folks! I am desperately intrigued by this recipe, as it combines two of my most favorite things; dessert and sushi!

Hello, I just loved this website, such a great resource for vegan bakers! I have a question about shortening though, in the pastry recipe you suggest using it and I wonder if it's the same vegetable shortening made of hydrogenated oils a...

Hi Mattie I tried your Puff Pastry recipe for the first time this week, along with your vegan butter. I think for a first try it's ok! However there's a few things I'd like to ask/improve on. Sorry this is a bit of a mamouth...

I HATE the flavor of Shortening in frosting and I'm trying to make a vegan frosting, it was gross not because it was vegan, because I could taste the shortening.... yuck! Not to mention that the feeling of shortening in the mouth is awful!! If the re...
