A commercial market has also emerged in free-from
foods suitable for vegans and for people who cannot eat
dairy products for health reasons. The shelves of
supermarkets are increasingly being stocked with
products designed for vegans (such as soya milk) and the
market for vegan food is thought to be growing by up to
15 per cent a year. This sub-sector of the food industry
is booming. People are becoming much more aware of
lactose intolerance and it appears that a vegan diet is
better than a veggie or carnivorous diet for staying
slim. But staying slim and eating desserts are surely
contradictions because puddings tend to be laden with
calories from butter, eggs, and cream. Not any longer.
Divine Vegan Desserts is reclaiming the reputation of
desserts by proving that they can be beautiful,
delicious AND healthy. All the desserts in the book are
dairy- and egg- free, and therefore completely free of
saturated fats. There are also many recipes suitable for
people following a gluten-free or nut-free diet. For
those wishing to reduce their refined sugar intake or
increase their consumption of natural raw foods there
are many options too.A comprehensive key indicates which
recipes are suitable for different dietary requirements
with icons for each recipe. The book contains recipes
for cakes, teatime treats, pies & pastries, tarts,
trifles and cheesecakes, ice creams, sorbets, mousses,
custards and creams. So whether you are a practising
vegan, lactose intolerant, on a gluten-free diet or
simply want luscious desserts without all the calories
this is THE book for you. |
