"This is the one of the best baking cookbooks I've come across, vegan or otherwise, with only the Bourke Street Bakery cookbook matching it for depth of knowledge, detail and love for the art of baking. If you're vegan, don't hesitate but even if not you'll be impressed by the quality of the recipes and clarity of the instructions. Highly recommended!" Matthew Clarke

The definitive guide on how to make Vegan Cakes, Cookies and Muffins, by Random Buns of Kindness creator Mike Sweetman, [Paperback, 200 pages]
Everything you need to know to start baking plant-based cakes, cookies and muffins at home.
Covers off: which ingredients to use, how to start if you haven't got a stand mixer, through to why Chia Seeds and Aquafaba are amazing, (but not necessarily for cakes).
Mike Sweetman, Random Buns co-creator, crams the learning from over 500 vegan baking experiments into the 30 cake recipes you're most likely to bake at home, while revealing the hacks behind each recipe along the way.
From simple-to-make hearty oat biscuits and banana breads, to indulgent fudgy brownies and gooey cookies, through to decadent layer cakes and desserts, this book's got you covered.
So if you're new to baking, or just a curious baker thinking about plant-based recipes, this book will guide you through the (sometimes confusing) world of vegan baking and help you get started.
And If you're already a plant-based baker, this book will help raise your vegan baking game, reveal why some recipes you may have already tried work well (and others not so much), and boost your creativity by introducing new techniques.
BACK IN 2016 I'D JUST GONE VEGAN . . .
. . . but in my day job as a baker I was still using a ton of eggs and butter.
It just didn't feel right.
I wanted to do something about it, but all the vegan baking recipes I found were just sort-of ok, and not good enough to serve to my (mostly non-vegan) customers. I had to find a way of baking without eggs and butter that was so delicious none of my customers would notice (or care).
A million or so test bakes later, when I finally thought my new recipes were good enough, I took the leap and quietly converted my whole bakery counter to plant-based, and waited to see what would happen.
The only customers who noticed a difference said the cakes, muffins & brownies had actually improved . . . Soon, I was baking more than ever.
The first part of 'Beating Eggs & Butter' explains how I did it, and introduces the methods behind the 'Vegan Baking Wheel'.
The second section is packed with 30 incredibly delicious recipes that have all been adapted for home baking.
So now you can wow friends and family and show them that you don't need eggs or butter to bake something truly indulgent.
It may even persuade some of them to consider a vegan diet themselves ... Here's hoping.
