When people are first introduced to the world of vegan baking, they often can’t believe it’s possible to create desserts that make use of good-for-you ingredients yet still taste delicious. What a concept, huh? It’s easy to get overwhelmed or confused by new approaches to tradition, like using flax and water instead of eggs, or pureed cashews and lemon instead of cream cheese.
I look forward to the second weekend of September like it’s Christmas. During those two days, Toronto turns into a vegan mecca. If you’ve never attended the Toronto Vegetarian Food Festival (the world’s largest veg fest) then this video created by the Toronto Vegetarian Association is a great sneak peak…

This macadamia caramel wins for the quickest and tastiest recipe of the year, hands down. It was all so easy—the blending, the taste testing, the mouthwatering photos. I just couldn’t help myself from licking the spoon clean when it was all over.
