Joy of Vegan Baking Named "Cookbook of the Year"!

I'm very honored and thrilled to announce that VegNews Magazine has graced The Joy of Vegan Baking with their 2007 Veggie Award, naming it Cookbook of the Year. Considering all the fantastic veg cookbooks out there, this is quite an honor.

This is the second Veggie Award we have received, as they crowned me the "Vegan Martha Stewart" in 2005. :)

Thanks to VegNews Magazine and to all of you who have been posting such positive reviews on Amazon and on their blogs. My intention in writing this book was to demystify "vegan baking" for vegans and non-vegans alike, and I'm just thrilled with the reception is has been getting.

Here's what VegNews had to say:

Cookbook of the Year: The Joy of Vegan Baking
In 1931, Irma Rombauer self-published The Joy of Cooking, a collection of no-nonsense recipes that became an instant classic, selling 15 million copies to date. More than 75 years later, we predict that Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s new cookbook, The Joy of Vegan Baking, will make history of its own. Rising to the top of veggie superstardom, Colleen is a one-woman powerhouse. Her entrepreneurial repertoire includes a wildly popular cooking DVD, sold-out cooking classes, natural-food-market tours, a weekly podcast, and a magazine column. Oh, and the new cookbook. The VN staff was stunned by the array of recipes (150 in all), amount of insight and tips, and mouthwatering photography. From Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, Cherry Pie, and Mexican Wedding Cookies to Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes, Raspberry Oatmeal Bars, and even Caramel Popcorn, The Joy of Vegan Baking has you covered for every occasion.
