I liked this author's explanations of the different products to use and how to integrate them into the recipes. I requested this book because my mother is diabetic and I'm trying to reduce the refined sugar and common flour I'm using. This book was a good start for me to do so while trying new recipes and learning how the elements work together.

So many delicious-sounding recipes! They’re all pretty complex, though, since these are meant to be vegan, gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, etc. etc., but oh man, if you have the time and the ingredients on-hand, the recipes on offer here sound sweet without being sickly sweet. I mean, you don’t have to be vegan to be tempted by a chocolate cake with rich chocolate ganache. Or an apple-spice layer cake. Or a chocolate-hazelnut tart with strawberries??? Oh man my taste buds are going insane just thinking about it. And if it’s even vaguely good for me, that’s an excuse for me to eat it.

As a frequent baker, I am well versed in all things cocoa powder/sugar/flour... but without so much expertise in vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc. baking alternatives. While trying to transition into healthier eating, I figured this cookbook could be an inspiration in attempting new recipes and reducing refined sugar.

I learned of so many ingredient alternatives I didn't even know existed. I was in awe of the presentation of photos to accompany recipes, and the variety of flavors to appeal the reader. I did attempt several scone versions in order to make breakfasts healthier...and tricked my boyfriend into not even knowing they replaced our usual sugar-laden treats!

This is a great book for all bakers who want to be adventurous and test out new ingredients, new recipes, and sneakily healthy treats!

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of Bakerita.

Several years ago, I had a health issue that forced me to adopt a paleo diet. Later, I discovered my issue was caused by stress and I went back to my carb eating loving ways.

But, I had grown accustomed to eating and baking paleo sweets and baked goods. Even though my health is fine, it can't hurt to eat better, and I'm always on the lookout for healthy, delicious recipes that don't use regular flour.

Bakerita is a great book - its informative with easy to understand instructions and beautiful photographs.

Bakerita is one of those rare cookbooks in which I want to try to make all of the recipes.

This book might interest some people who have never tried paleo baking or desserts before.

This was a beautiful and lovely book! I enjoy sweets but prefer to eat a gluten-free diet and use nutritious ingredients. This book had the loveliest recipes and most decadent photographs. I look forward to trying many recipes, including Baked Chocolate Donuts, One Hour Cinnamon Rolls, Vanilla Bundt Cake with Blood Orange Glaze, Paleo Chocolate Melting Cakes, Apple Crumb Pie, Nut-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Brookies. This book would be a wonderful gift for anyone who enjoys baking, especially those who follow a gluten-free or vegan diet.

Thank you, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and NetGalley, for a digital ARC!

Oh no, cake without flour or sugar? I thought this cookbook would read as a disaster, but actually the recipes sound nice and the book is lovely to look at. Good addition as we are lacking on gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free baking books.
