God, I love Hannah Kaminsky. I wish I had my very own tiny Hannah to live in my kitchen and bake me fresh vegan desserts everyday. But since I don't, I have the next best things — Hannah's new cookbook, Vegan Desserts: Sumptuous Sweets for Every Season.First, I must admit that I LOVE seasonal cookbooks. I'm such a stickler for rules about seasonal eating. I only eat pumpkin in the fall. I try to only eat tomatoes in the summer, and strawberries are generally reserved for this time of year. Hannah's new book features recipes for every time of year. Think Gingerbread Pumpkin Seed Brittle for fall, Peppermint Mocha Trifle for winter, Strawberry Charlotte for spring, and Watermelon Bombe for summer.
Every recipe is accompanied by a full-color photo, and I've just been drooling over everything. I can't wait until summer now so I can make the Mango Lassi Popsicles, and winter will be a little more tolerable with Maple-Pecan Layer Cake with Gingerbread Frosting.
But for now, it's spring! And I couldn't resist the allure of the Spring Fling Muffins:
These moist muffins are packed with fresh, juicy strawberries and tangy rhubarb. They're topped with whole oats and crunchy turbinado sugar. Oh, so good. And since they're muffins, it's a totally acceptable dessert for breakfast.These are the first recipe I've tried from the book, but I can't wait to make more. I think Mojito Sugar Cookies may be next on the list!
LOVE Hannah's book!
ReplyDeleteHannah is the best! I definitely need to add this one to my collection.
ReplyDeleteyum! hannah does totally rule. now i want this cookbook! we had rhubarb three ways last night @ Kaya and it was amazing - pickled rhubarb, rhubarb sorbet, and rhubarb gelee!
ReplyDeletei have some rhubarb and was going to make a crisp but muffins sound very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get this book! I love seasonal cookbooks, too, and I doubly love Hannah! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you got on that cookbook fast! I bought the first copy we got into the bookstore I work at and have been browsing it feverishly but haven't made anything yet. Let us know how the mojito cookies come out, they look great!
ReplyDeleteI may make the poppyseed coffee cake this weekend.
I want a Hannah in my kitchen too!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see a seasonal dessert book.
I can't wait to get my hands on this cookbook, I flicked through it at a friends the other day & it's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to get that book; anything with dessert and I'm sold! It looks incredible! :)
ReplyDeleteI just received the book yesterday and it is GORGEOUS! I think I'll go for the Spring Fling Muffins.
