Today, I wanted to do a little something special and take a moment to honor several women who have graciously taken time out of their days to not only test and sample recipes from my new cookbook Decadent Gluten-Free Vegan Baking, but to beautifully photograph each recipe and write reviews about it that have blown me out of the water.

  9. Tracy MHT

    Could really make use of this cookbook for my family. Thanks for offering the giveaway. 🙂

  10. Dana

    I have been impressing my family with so many different vegan desserts I find on vegan food blogs. I would like to have your book so I can share even more goodies with them!

  12. Nicola

    My preordered copy of your book arrived yesterday. Delighted with it!! So glad also that you included proper weighed measures, I usually avoid American recipies because of unreliable cup measures. Can’t wait to try some new things out!

  14. Anita

    Amazing recipies and as always, great mouth watering photos!
    It might be an interesting challenge, but I’d like to see some sugar free recipies 🙂

  15. lisa

    I am new to vegan cooking because of a friend so I try to accommodate and also get to try new recipes that I probably would not have, but I have enjoyed adding these vegan recipes to my household as well with much positive feedback. Thank you for helping in expanding our palettes!

  17. Nirvana

    Your successes in the kitchen keep me hopeful about vegan and gluten free baking/cooking! Congrats on your book 🙂

  18. Melissa

    I would love to get my hands on this cookbook so that I can share these decadent recipes with those of my relatives who are technophobes, and spread the vegan gospel!

  19. Drea

    Oh this cookbook looks amazing. My vegan daughter who is also gluten free would be very happy if I won this, she is 2.5 and learning to help Mama in the kitchen.

  21. Niv

    I love your recipes and the easy guides you provide for measurements and substitutions. I would love to win a copy of your book. Thanks

  23. Khristine Hawthorne

    I am a fairly new vegan and I just found out I can’t eat gluten. Well I can, but I will suffer so I am really excited about your new cookbook. I can’t wait to try your recipes. Thanks so much for taking the time and energy to make this project come true. ;););)

  26. Jessica G

    I would love to win this! My daughter is gluten free and vegan and your recipes have been a huge help to us!

  28. Phoebe

    Your new book basically looks like my version of heaven in cookbook form. 😀 Can’t wait to read and EAT!

  30. Diane

    I have changed my way of eating 1.5 years ago. I am feeling so much better. And what better way to celebrate my sons birthday on the 23rd then to bake one of your delicious recipes.

  36. Diana R.

    I would love to win a copy it is great that you have a gluten free vegan cookbook that does not use bean flours. It is hard to find gluten free and egg free cookbooks that use mainly rice flour for the all purpose mix.

  43. Carrie

    Believe it or not, I picked up your book today at the library! I wasn’t looking for any gluten free books or even cookbooks. My daughter loves to bake, and I thought the pictures were inviting and would be great for her to learn about baking gluten free! We are going to try the Key Lime Cheesecake Bars first, and then pumpkin muffins, and then mini donuts, and then… Fingers crossed we win so we don’t have to keep renewing this book.

  45. K. Elizabeth

    Since having to change my diet due to health reasons for a little over 4 years, it is sometimes tricky to find or create tasty vegan/vegetarian sugar-free, gluten-free, and corn-free appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Until we stumbled upon a few recipes via twitter and pinterest; the rest is a happy history of refreshing and creative meals and snacks. The blog has been a lifesaver for inspirations for our household. I am soOOo looking forward to sharing this with my love ones and designing more healthy meal and snack ideas from your new cookbook.

  47. Topaz Hays

    I have been gluten and dairy free for over 32 years and your cookbook is such a joy to me! Have already made scones, rosemary beer cupcakes and biscuits! Looking forward to your next cookbook!!

  48. Gracie

    Just stumbled onto your site while looking for a cilantro dressing recipe. I have Celiac Disease which has ended up being an exciting challlenge to cook different. I like being in the kitchen more now than ever before. I love your ideas.

  49. Kelly

    Thanks for the chance at your book. I am a newbie to your blog and am really enjoying all I have checked out so far.

  50. Kelly

    I think I will have to order this cookbook. I am in the process of getting rid of all of my other cookbooks that have gluten and dairy filled recipes…I will not get rid of all of them b/c I am a cookbook junkie but I am looking forward to collecting some like yours here.

  52. Kirsten

    Dear Cara, I got my (preodered) copy of your wonderful cookbook today. It really looks fantastic and I can’t wait to cook my way through it! Congrats to the great work ;-*

  54. Jen S.

    I actually saw the muffins on Meg’s B&B site so I headed on over here to see what you’ve been up to. Would love a copy of your new cookbook!

  55. Elisa

    I think your blog is amazing and these recipes look delicious– such perfection. Thank you for your amazing recipes!

  56. Kat

    What a beautiful collection of recipes made from your book! I have a feeling this will be a game changer in the GF/V baking world! 😉

  57. Marissa

    Just found you! I can’t have gluten, dairy, or egg and have found success with GF, vegan recipes…but I like meat and honey!

    Thank you! Thank you!

  61. Joanie

    Boy, lots of folks in the running for the free cookbook. I once had my name drawn from a hat and won a water bottle. Bet I would get even more use out of the cookbook if I am the lucky winner this time 🙂

  63. Shari

  65. Jodi

  78. Darcey Kei

  80. Sveta

    Cara, congrats on your new book. We are all enjoying your recipes. Pictures are awesome,absolutely inspiring!

  86. Amy Derton

    I’m so excited to find your blog! I have 5 kids with food allergies, plus my own food allergies = allergies to dairy, eggs, soy, gluten, peanuts, beef, sunflower seeds, preservatives…and everything in between! I have a birthday boy this week (turning 10 years old), and I am going to make your Raw Pad Thai, gluten-free chocolate cupcakes, and raw lime coconut pie (for the birthday mom!).
    Thank you for the inspiration to make his birthday a little more special and fun.
    Amy

  87. Laurel

    Geez, I missed a post? That’s what happens when you’re between computers. You’re beautiful, inside and out and you don’t even have to enter me in this contest; well, unless I win. Just being a dork. xooxo

  90. Kathy

    Cara, I just found you not long ago and am so happy I can bake and eat my own baked goods. Thank you so very much for your excellent recipes!!

  91. Nora (A Clean Bake)

    Huge congratulations on your beautiful book, Cara! I have been following all the bloggers who have tested recipes and every recipe looks stunning. I can’t wait to get a copy for myself!

  92. Ana Garza

    I just saw your book at Barnes and Noble! I took a picture of it to show my hubby and let him know it’s on my birthday wish list 🙂

  93. Tia DeShong

    My mom was recently diagnosed with coeliac disease and I have loved recreating your delicious gluten-free recipes for her to sample (and for me to partake in since they are always vegetarian)! They certainly make her view the prospect of gluten-free eating with a little less dread and lots more excitement. Thanks for that! Can’t wait to make some delicious foods from this book. 🙂

  94. Delilah

    Having just started trying to transition to gluten free I would be ecstatic to win your book. I love your recipes and, it would be just in time to “indulge” for my birthday!

    Congratulations on your book, I look forward to more in the future!

  95. stephanissima

    Are you trying to do some sort of subliminal messaging with the two versions of the key lime cheesecake bars? Hmmmm? Not that I mind… 😉

  96. Giovanna Clementi

    Cara, I have tried many, many of your recipes and have loved all of them. It’s really nice to have one of your recipes at the end of a long hard day of avoiding all the food out there! Ciao, Giovanna from Montreal

  98. Tiffany R

    I am so excited to get my hands on your cookbook!! I love everything that you post on this blog and my family is always blown away when I make one of your recipes!! Thank you for all of the creativity and deliciousness that you put out there for all of us!!

  100. Nancy

    Your website is awesome, I am so glad I found it during my search for vegan caramels. Your photographs and presentation is pure art.

  102. Linda

    How tasty everything looks! I can’t wait to try some of these. I’m vegan and often baking GF, I will look forward to your book release. Congratulations. While there are many rewards and delights of working with food, it’s a truly a labor of love! Best wishes for success with this and future books!

  103. Kirsten

    Since I preordered your cookbook, can I expect it to arrive soon? Can’t wait to finally hold it in my hands! (And since I’m such a good friend, I ordered a copy for my best friend, too 😉 )

  104. Adena

    I love your blog! It’s my go to site fir delicious, gf, vegan, recipes. Thanks so much! Keep up the great work!

  111. Laura

    Cara,

    Congratulations on the book! I am looking forward to making these recipes and having a signed copy from you would be so special! Your recipes have been a great comfort to me since discovering my gluten and dairy intolerances!

  115. Sharon

    Everything about this book looks yummy. I am trying to go vegan and reduce my consumption of gluten. Sounds like a great tool for this.

  120. Lori Stilger

    I would so love to win your fantastic-looking cookbook! There are lots of people I love who would benefit from your recipes. 🙂 Congratulations – it’s a beautiful book!

  125. Heather @ Encouraged at Home

    I’ve had to cook gluten, egg and dairy-free since my oldest son was diagnosed with food allergies at a year old. I’ve always determined that he won’t go without treats or desserts because of his allergies. If I don’t win the book I’m going to buy it! 🙂

  127. Trish

    I went Gluten Free, Egg Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free, over a year and a half ago. I was “lucky” in that those foods caused so much pain to me that I HAD to give them up cold turkey. I’ve recently removed nightshades and soy. I am finally coming up for air and thinking it’s time to start GF Vegan baking to add some comfort with nutrition noless to my nutrional plan! How wonderfully timely this book would be! Thank you!!
    Best to all!
    Trish

  129. eValerie

    Cinnamon rolls with no yeast? I LOVE YOU!!!! I have been on a question for a gluten-free dairy-free yeast-free cinnamon roll recipe. You’ve made my day! (And I would love a copy of the cookbook!)

  130. Jess Moore

    well, my weekend is officially full. time to make cinnamon rolls and coffee cake (both my husband and I are dying for these things). thanks for the shove!

  131. Linda B

    These recipes look and sound every bit as delicious as their gluten, non-vegan counterparts. And so much better for us. Can’t wait to try some of them. I think the Key Lime Cheesecake Bars will be first!!

  133. Courtney Grace

    I’m very close to going completely vegan, but I have yet to take the plunge completely. This would be a great way! Thanks for the opportunity!

  134. Lexan Koenig

    As a celiac that has been advised to go at the least dairy free if not vegan, I am thrilled to have found you and your amazing recipes. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Namaste 🙂

  135. Deborah Luce

    OMG. First day of being gluten free and vegan and stumbled onto your site. Call it kismet. Can’t wait to try out your recipes.

  137. Cat

    Winning a copy of your book would be awesome – but it also looks worthy of buying, even if someone doesn’t win! Tell you what – I’d buy it, anyway, just to have a beautiful hard copy of your flour blends recipes… if they are in there! (Are they?) Hope your sales go sky high!

  138. Kim Repscha

    Thank you for giving me my bliss back! Since finding out that I’m allergic to eggs, baking has been challenging to say the least and you have made the transition so much easier.
    Blessings……….

  139. Pam Arthur

    This cook book looks exactly like what I have needed. I’m trying to go gluten free and vegan and it’s hard to find great recipes. Thanks!

  140. Brandi @ The Vegan 8

    Guess who just ordered your cookbook?? That would be ME!! So excited and you better believe I will make and share it on my blog, only the photos of course that I take, not the actual recipe, haha! 🙂 I’m looking forward to the coffee cake muffins, oh my!

  141. Amy

    Wanting to open a vegan bakery and this book would help me out a great deal, recipes that people will actually want to eat

  142. heather

    I love vegan recipe and these muffins look so good thanks for the chance to win this cookbook.

  145. Emma

    Pick me, pick me! PS I’ve been ogling your candy recipes on the blog for ages….love some homemade treats!

  150. Jacqui

    I love the recipes & photos I’ve seen so far! Would love to win your book. Signed – that’s the icing on the cake.

  152. Tina Yoo

    My son is allergic to gluten and eggs (among other other things..) And when I found your website, I literally cried! I am trying out the banana pudding recipe tonight. I was going to buy the book anyway, but it would be great to win this giveaway!!

  153. Debra

    The recipes look so drool-worthy! I am looking forward to trying some recipes for friends and family who have not embraced the plant based diet yet, or who are not believers that it is delicious. Thank you for creating this cookbook!

  155. Julie

    Ohhh! I want to win the signed copy! I just instagrammed messaged you that it was on my bday list for next month–even better would be to win it! Love your stuff chick!

  156. Deb E

    Oh Hot Cocoa Snickerdoodles! Snickerdoodles were the first cookies I ever made when I was in the 4-H club, so dear to my hear. Love your new cookbook.

  159. Casey @ Casey the College Celiac

    All of these food pictures are having me drooling! Since I went on an elimination diet because of continued complications from celiac disease, I’ve been surviving off of vegan gluten free recipes and I can’t wait to check out more of the sites! I, and my stomach, thank you! 🙂

  160. Kelly

    I can not wait to get a copy,this is a lifeline for me,i was just diagnosed with having gluten issues,and Diabetes type 2, and heart issues, and my foods i can have is radically changed,so i was mourning baked goods,so this is wonderful for me.

  163. Monique C

    Oh, this would be an absolute treat to win! As a college student, I don’t really have the budget for eating decadently all the time, but this book would come in handy on the occasion that I do 🙂

  165. charmaine

    This book will help lots of people discover there are choices out there and that it doesn’t demand weird exotic ingredients. If you don’t advertise that you are doing vegan,people can be seduced into opening their horizons and those who have allegies/intolerances have a new go to bobyok

  168. Susan Pugh

    Even if I don’t win this cookbook I plan to pick one up! My bday is in a couple weeks so it would be so cool to win it! Great job!

  169. Charity

    Your enthusiasm and amazingly creative recipes always keep me anxiously awaiting your next post. I am so happy that your new cookbook is out. Even though I preordered the Kindle copy (and have already read it cover to cover), I would love love LOVE a copy to keep on the coffee table!

  170. Michelle

    This could help bring our family together. I have to eat GF and my son has to eat egg and milk free! I would love this cook book

  172. Jacinda

    I bake vegan for my younger brother who is deathly allergic to eggs! He is so thankful for me being able to find simple baking recipes for him to eat, I also have a lactose intolerance, so the dairy-free aspect also helps me out. I would really love this cookbook! New recipes are so exciting for my family

  173. Elizabeth

    I recently discovered your blog and love it! The Decadent Gluten-Free Baking cookbook looks awesome and I look forward to more great recipes!

  175. Mich

    I would love to own this cookbook. I’ve been an avid follower of yours for awhile because I believe gluten-free vegan baking is the way to go when you want to indulge once in a while. As I now live a gluten-free vegan lifestyle, this cookbook will allow me to explore my options because it’s not always easy baking gluten-free for me.

  176. mip clark

    This cookbook is the answer to my Baking dreams! I know with this book I can switch my expected Christmas cookies I bake every year to a vegan gifting delight for all my friends and neighbors! And for me, yummy vegan goodies through out the year!

  177. Desiree

    This is my first time even remotely trying eating gluten free. I came across this and thought I should give it a try. I’ve been living with Lupus and would love to see if eating gluten free will ease some of the symptoms

  178. Robin

    GF, egg free and dairy free dessert recipes can be hard to find, not very tasty, and are usually quite complicated and filled with so many darn exotic and or hard to find ingredients. But yours sound just the opposite, delish, mostly they are easy and I don’t have to order the ingredients in your recipes from three different websites. How do you do it? I can’t wait to get this book and find out. I have Hashimoto’s and really need to be GF, we are primarily vegetarian and I have a little one who’s allergic to dairy, eggs and peanut. I feel like this book is going to be a total game changer for us and our whole family. We LOVE dessert and baked goods but what’s the point if they don’t taste amazing? Seriously can’t wait to try and thank you Cara for bringing your way of cooking and baking to the masses. ❤️

  179. Connie

    Just wanted to let you know, I am looking through your cookbook now and it is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! I knew it would be coming out soon, so I requested it from the library as soon as they received their copy. I was just recently diagnosed as gluten intolerant (plus I am allergic to eggs, cinnamon, coconut, corn and intolerant to sodium), as if that wasn’t enough. So, am looking for any and all help. I really appreciate everything you have done and I feel as if I am a kid in a candy store. Keep up the good work!

  180. Annalise

    Your blog is definitely my favorite baking blog. Everything I make turns out wonderful. Your cinnamon rolls and waffles in particular were a huge hit. I’m so excited about your new cookbook and I can’t wait to try these new recipes!

  181. Stacey

    Ooooh…I would love a signed copy of your cookbook! I love your blog and your recipes!! Keep them coming!

  184. Janice

    I have multiple severe food allergies including gluten, dairy, and eggs but usually I CAN eat your food! I love that the recipes that I have tried are all super yummy REAL food too! Thanks for that and I would love to win a copy of your cookbook!

  186. hippymomelizabeth

    Kar said we should have made something of yours and IG’d it #forkandbeans, well were super excited for your latest achievement’s…Have a great weekend. Elizabeth And Kar-inthia.:)

  187. Marty

  188. Marty

    Being vegan 7 years has been a easy, and a joy, being gluten and gliadin, has been very, very difficult. These pictures are beautiful Cara. I would absolutely love to win a copy of this book!

  191. Marcia Hall

    Hi! Can’t wait to try your chocolate zucchini bread. Need a couple ingredients…. And I’m new to the gluten free thing too. Feeling overwhelmed – and without resources. This would definitely help! Would love to be considered for a generous win. : P Thanks muchly for your generosity.~Marcia

  192. Deanne O

    I am dying to try these recipes!!! Being Vegan is the best thing I’ve ever done next to animal rescue!! Gotta have this book!! Learning to bake Vegan has been challenging but delicious, anxious for more info on doing it gloriously!

  195. Danielle

    I would love to win a copy of the book. Your recipes are amazing! Thanks for all of your inspiration.

  196. Jaya Bhumitra

    These photos are mouth-watering – congratulations on a beautiful book – can’t wait to bake from it, and impress vegans and non-vegans alike! Sweet treats soothe everyone’s souls. 🙂

  200. Jade Crow

    I have been following you and your wonderful recipes since I decided to take the next step and go vegan as well as start reducing my gluten intake! I have tried several of your recipes, and each one comes out delicious! I can’t wait until your book comes out so I can flip through the pages!

  202. alli

    Your recipes kick a$$ and your super positive energy always make me happy when I read your blog. Namastasty! Alli
