Book "Sweet world! Vegan" by Estella Schweizer

Around the world in 80 vegan recipes:

The best and most popular cakes, tarts and desserts from near and far - purely plant-based

Rediscover the sweet moments in life: vegan chef Estella Schweizer interprets much-loved sweet classics from all over the world - with purely plant-based ingredients. Over 80 recipes can be found in the richly illustrated book (photos: Maria Panzer), including plum cake from Germany, Kaiserschmarrn from Austria, Engadine nut cake, French crème brûlée, New York cheesecake and many other delicacies. A Christmas special with recipes for fine festive pastries rounds off the book, which appeals to both beginners and more experienced (amateur) bakers with step-by-step instructions, labelling of the recipes according to difficulty, a glossary and index.

Baking vegan means finding suitable substitutes for the classic main ingredients eggs, butter and dairy products. Estella Schweizer presents the vegan alternatives knowledgeably and with many practical tips regarding their processing options. The various sweeteners and flours, from wholemeal to white, are also described and assessed in terms of their baking properties and possible uses. If you are gluten intolerant, you will find what you are looking for in the gluten-free flour mixes and can use the recipes accordingly. The author presents numerous basic recipes so that sponge or biscuit doughs without eggs, quark-oil doughs without quark and frostings without butter or cream are a success.

The cakes, tarts, creams and the like are based closely on the original in terms of appearance and flavour. For some recipes, Estella Schweizer has opted for a freer, more creative interpretation: for example, the classics Crema Catalana, Panna Cotta, Donauwelle and Mozartkugeln surprise with a special culinary twist. What all the recipes have in common is that they use natural, everyday ingredients. The book is also intended to inspire an intuitive and creative approach to ingredients, quantities and flavours - and in this way serve everyone, whether vegan, vegetarian or flexitarian, their slice of the cake.
