Simple Treats: a Wheat-Free, Dairy-Free Guide to Scrumptious Baked Goods

Vegetarian Journal, May-June, 2004 by Debra Wasserman

By Ellen Abraham

Ellen Abraham, the author of Simple Treats, and her sister own a bakery by this same name in Eastham, Massachusetts. Drawn from her experiences, this book contains recipes for baked goods, all of which contain natural sweeteners and whole grain or wheat-free flours. All recipes are vegan, and there are some great offerings for individuals with food allergies or other food restrictions. The author uses organic ingredients and suggests readers do the same.

Some of the recipes included in this book are Peach-Oat Bran Muffins, Chocolate Chip Scones, Lemon Poppy Tea Bread, Marble Pound Cake, and Mocha Cake. Nutritional analyses are provided.
