SECRETS OF VEGAN BAKING
CLASS: REVIEWS
"I made your pecan pie this afternoon and I just had my first piece of real-tasting pecan pie in 32 years. It was fantastic. Thank you for the recipe. "
"Christine you are the Martha Stewart of vegan baking!! Brian and I are still talking about the vegan cinnabons. You have perfected guilt-free pleasures!"
“My experience has been the same as members of the class who said they haven't found satisfying pastries in vegan cookbooks or bakeries. We took a piece of your cake to our teenage daughter and she gave it an A+.
”After we tasted the cookies and cake at class we knew we found something special. It seems to me that you have a rare gift and I hope that you continue to experiment and find ever more wonderful desserts that vegans can enjoy and feel proud to serve their non-vegan friends."
“I made your chocolate bundt cake last weekend and brought it to a family gathering. The cake was presented as a birthday cake for my sister-in-law. Everyone loved it!”
“The first chance I get I'm going to make your chocolate bundt cake and bring it to work where my blue collar, grease monkey, baby-back ribs eating co-workers wonder how I can stand my diet. I'll bet your cake will be gone before noon!”
"We made a batch of cookies and I brought them to work with me and didn't tell people at first that they were vegan. Everyone LOVED them and said they were fabulous! Most everyone was shocked that they actually enjoyed a vegan cookie, so thank you! The expressions were priceless.
“I baked your chocolate chip cookies and wow! They are fantastic. I agree with the comment that they're better than the originals. They're somehow more satisfying. I used to use a vegan cookie mix and that had an extra dry flavor that I wasn't too happy with.”
“Thank YOU, Christine, for a great class. I've already made the oatmeal cookies, which have been a huge success with my friends and I'm going to make the bundt cake for Christmas this year - can't wait! And ... I'm making the peanut butter cups as a holiday treat for my friends.”
“I made your cookies last week and brought them to two different potluck events. Everyone raved. I told them about your classes.”
“My family loved the pie and your cinnamon swirl bundt cake. They had no clue it was vegan and still don't believe me, despite the obvious - I'm eating the desserts!”
“I enjoyed your class and meeting you. I just wanted to thank you again. I've been a vegetarian for over 18 years and was almost vegan, after your class, now I know I can go vegan all the way. Keep up the great work!”
“I used your cinnamon swirl bundt cake recipe to make cupcakes for our bake sale. I'm pleased to say that they were an absolute hit and helped raise much-needed funds for our bird rescue. One woman bought a huge plate to share with her coworkers and she was super exited to discover such a great vegan treat.” “Your pies were some of the best I've ever tried.”
