healthy and delicious baking choices that all the children can share and
enjoy together, says June Graham
With just a few ground rules and a lot of imagination, it is possible to turn just about every conventional recipe into a vegan one worthy of comparison.
I first became interested in vegan recipes because we had two children in our birth-to-three space who, because of allergies, had to follow a dairyand egg-free diet. These children often seemed to miss out on some of our special treats and, with a wistful expression on their faces, would watch their friends tuck in. They also missed out on some of the baking experiences as they couldn't handle some of the ingredients.
By far the greatest recommendation for vegan baking is the taste and texture. I find that it is far tastier and moister than baking with eggs and butter, and very rarely use these now. I might develop a few vegan recipe books for the children to use.
