I'm always on the lookout for a great vegan cookbook so one full of gorgeous desserts was sure to catch my eye! I found so many recipes in this book I plan to try.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Excellent pastry book that doubles as a vegetarian reference book as there are not many great plant-based dessert books out there.

Full of lovely photos and delicious recipes, this cookbook highlights that vegan/vegetarian doesn't have to be boring, bland, or oddly flavored. Great for any library collection.

Some of the recipes did not turn out to look like the photos but for vegan They tased ok but did not rise as much as expected. Great colourful photos.

Thanks to NetGalley, publisher and author, for allowing me to have a free copy of this book to read and review. I was impressed by the variety of desserts I found. I was also impressed by how easy to find the ingredients were. I was expecting to find complicated lists of hard to find ingredients but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy to make all of the recipes were. I plan to buy a copy of this book to give to my sister, who is vegan. Great book!

Excellent recipes in this book! My family and I are new to veganism and we definitely enjoyed this book. Great for vegans or for people trying to eat a more plant-based diet. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the early review copy.

I received a copy of this arc from NetGalley for an honest review. Dessert is the best meal, isn't it? How about trying a healthier version using plant-based recipes. I am most looking forward to trying several of the overnight oats recipes.

I am not really a fan of Vegan recipes, I have always liked the idea of it but never thought they would taste as good. However the colorful photography really drew me into reading this and the idea that I could eat healthier versions of my favorite foods didn’t seem so difficult anymore. I really enjoyed reading Anthea Cheng’s versions of the classic desserts. Many of the recipes include pantry staple items, so one does not feel the need over overspend on ingredients one might use once, that is something I really appreciated. As someone who tries to stay out of the kitchen, I found myself wanting to try some of the recipes out right away like her recipe for the Bliss Balls Three Ways, (those were delicious)

Super beautiful photos are the highlight of this book. The recipes are easy to follow and not too complicated to make.

Beautiful book with a lot of inspiration and clearly a lot of love from the author that shows throughout the book.
I defiantly got some ideas on what to try while reading through this book and can't wait to see what received from it will become favorites of mine.

This is a great book full of mouth-watering plant-based recipes. Some of the recipes have quite a few ingredients but the extra effort required to make these desserts will definitely be worth it. Other recipes are quick and simple to make. There are many beautiful photographs of the finished dishes with amazing vibrant colours which are sure to impress vegans and non-vegans alike.

The desserts all look very special and I recommend this book to dessert-loving vegans or anyone interested in healthier and more natural variations of desserts. Many of these recipes are especially great for parties and celebrations.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarry Books for the opportunity to read and review this title.

Some really interesting recipes and her take on some desserts. Really nice for vegans who want something different.

Anthea Cheng’s plant-based cornucopia of dessert-type foods certainly lives up to the adjective on the cover!

This book is packed with lush, vibrantly colourful photographs of absolutely mouth-watering treats.

The recipes seem uncomplicated and relatively straightforward to follow, with the required ingredients and equipment clearly listed and step-by-step instructions for making the dish.

There are not only desserts featured here, but breakfasts and snack foods too – all following principles of clean-eating: vegan, raw, healthy and, of course (as Cheng’s blog is called Rainbow Nourishments!), ‘eating the rainbow’.

The author offers substitution options for those who have allergies or intolerances, which is perfect for us, as Babybows has a dairy intolerance. Speaking of the smalls, this book is a great inspiration for child-friendly, healthy-but-sweet treats. My two have earmarked almost every recipe for testing! (We’ve earmarked the Chocolate Cupcakes with Rainbow Buttercream for our first experiment – yum yum!)

Honestly, I would be happy to buy this book for the beautifully edible photography alone, so the healthy treats are an exceptional bonus in my view. Definitely one for fans of ‘free-from’ eating with added fun.





Learning from the struggles of my parents and my childhood, I wanted to make Rainbow Nourishments less about the kitchen and more about connecting with people on a deeper level. It grew into a large social media account and blog that shared wholesome vegan recipes and promoted discussion about wellbeing and the environment. It became a cake business, providing treats to the most popular cafes in my city, for weddings, birthdays and special events. I now develop recipes with large and small corporations, and I act as a food consultant to dessert businesses around the world. I host many pop-up events, including high teas, dinners and workshops, in Australia and internationally. The recipes in this book come from my professional experience and also a place of love and kindness.

– Anthea Cheng, Incredible Plant-Based Desserts

Review by Steph Warren of Bookshine and Readbows blog

The book Incredible Plant Based Desserts I see more as a bakery book rather than just desserts.

The book is split into an Introduction and five sections which are:
- Nourishing breakfasts
- Snack time
- Café style treats
- Share and celebration
- Basic condiments and frostings

The Introduction includes a list of equipment required, explanation of diary and gluten alternatives, egg substitutes, sweeteners and other essentials, including nut alternatives for those with allergies - this is good as many of the recipes do include a nut of some sort.

Each recipe comes with imperial and metric measurements, portions sizes and full colour photography. Many of the bakes and frostings can be kept in the fridge for a few days, or in the freezer for a couple of months.

I received this book from Netgalley in return for a honest review.

Great photography and delicious plant based food. I loved the layout of this book and could drool over the pictures all day. Will definitely try some of these recipies.

Disclaimer: I was given an advance reader copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This cookbook is beautiful and has a good variety of recipes. It has a good variety of recipes that aren't ones that are found in most cookbooks. There are many recipes that I want to try because they have unusual flavor combinations that combine sweet and savory . I would recommend this cookbook for anyone that loves to try new flavor combinations. I think this book would be great for vegans and non vegans alike.

If you want to be creative in your kitchen
Anthea Cheng's book "Incredible Plant-Based Deserts. Colorful Vegan Cakes, Cookies, Tarts, and other Epic Delights" published by Quarto Publishing Group - Quarry, stimulates the eye and the stomach. In the first part of the book Cheng presents equipment that will make life easier, but also information how to make desserts with vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free ingredients and how to make desserts for people with specific allergies and sensitivities. The main part of the book contains inspiring recipes for breakfasts, snacks, cafe-style treats and basic condiments and frostings.
This is the first book by this author which I have read and I was inspired by the colorful photographs and design. The vegan recipes cannot only be used for vegans, but also for vegetarians and "normal eaters". I also appreciated the inclusion of additional information, e.g., about the background of the recipes. Through this book Cheng also shows how colorful nature is without adding additional food coloring by using vegetable-based powders such as beetroot powder or blue spirulina. It is also helpful that she adds tips, e.g., how to grind chia seeds or flax seeds, and that she presents not only the recipes for various treats, but also the recipes for basics such as DIY Chocolate, Classic Caramel, or various styles of Butter cream. The very detailed index can also be a good help to readers when they are searching for something specific. I highly recommend this book that can also make a great gift because it also contains recipes for every skill level.
The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge. I was under no obligation to offer a positive review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The pictures of these desserts are beautiful and so vibrant.. I really liked that this book has some easier and more basic recipes as well as some more advanced and trickier ones. It goes to show that you still have lots options even as a vegan. I look forward to trying out some if these recipes.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

If you need a gift for a vegan or vegetarian, this book is a lovely option! The photos are really stunning, and the author's designs are truly artwork. So far I've only tried the less-vibrant recipe for "Notella" but I am looking foward to trying others as well. The book is geared toward desserts but many of the vegan recipes could be used for other meal ideas as well.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a digital ARC.

The recipes are incredible. It’s a stunning book and I enjoyed the aesthetic. I tried a couple of recipes and they were a favourite in our house. I can’t wait to try more.
