Nobody's Perfect! Corrections to Some Eensy Teensy Errors in The Joy of Vegan Baking
I pride myself on being a meticulous editor (as do the hard-working editors at Fair Winds Press, I'm sure), but in a 287-page book that contains over 150 recipes and tens of thousands of words, there are bound to be errors.
Though any mistakes we come across will be corrected in subsequent printings of The Joy of Vegan Baking, I hate the idea of errors just sitting there in the books from the first printing, so I'm here to correct those I'm aware of. Please don't hesitate to tell me about others you may find, though I hope this list includes them all!
1. In the Drop Biscuits recipe on page 48, the "yield" currently says "24," but that's not right. One batch of these delicious biscuits makes between 10 and 12, depending on how large you make them. Eat them right out of the oven when they're piping hot! Yum!
2. Under the Better Than Eggs section on the bottom of page 18, I'm talking all about using Baking Soda and Vinegar to leaven baked goods, and then in the paragraph itself, I mistakenly refer to Baking Powder. Clearly, it should say Baking Soda.
3. As the book came close to publication, the publisher decided to add the lovely front and back inside flaps. On the back flap, they added my photo, but because my photo was already on the very last page (About the Author), which faces the back inside flap, there are two photos of me back to back. As fondly as I remember the Thanksgiving on which that photo was taken, there is no need for two mirrored photos of me! In the next printing, the publisher will either remove one photo - or potentially replace it with a different photo. Just wanted to clarify that. :)
4. Under Suggestions for Making Healthful Transitions on page 154, there is a mistake in the heading of Tip #6; unfortunately, "Meet the Farmers" was repeated as the name of that tip. It should be "Prep in Advance."
5. Under the Acknowledgments on page 287, Patti Martin was thanked twice. She really did help a lot, but one "thank you" is sufficient within one paragraph. Also, my dear friend Kristin Schwarz should be included in the list of testers!
My hope is that I will not have to add to this list, but in the event that I do, you will definitely hear from me again, and you can check here for corrections. Enjoy!
