I have Donna Kleins Chinese Vegan Kitchen, but haven't tried anything yet. I always seem to botch up any Chinese or Thai meals that I try to make. My pad Thai is so horrific, no matter which recipe I use.

Oh man, I do this too. My Thai curries are ok but only because it's hard to mess up store bought curry paste + coconut milk. I've never made a good pad thai and I've never made a good Chinese dish. I keep thinking it must be because all the recipes I try aren't calling for all the authentic ingredients or something. Or maybe I just have a knack for picking dud recipes.

I haven't tried any recipes from Vegan Eats World yet. I hope I do a little better with them!

I used to screw up everything stir fried until VEW! The Takeout Noodle recipe and the Pad See Ew have both been game changers in m kitchen.

I didn't pre-order Whole Grain Baking, but I noticed yesterday that it said "in stock" instead of "pre-order," so I ordered it, and it shipped that day (Saturday).

I saw that too! Today on Amazon, it says if I order it today it'll arrive Tuesday!!

no fair, I still have to wait 3 weeks (poo, Canada).

Does anyone know if there is a list of recipes in Whole Grain Vegan baking? I can't order a book without seeing at least some sample recipes and a recipe listing.

beethecookie · **Posted:** Mon Mar 11, 2013 7:22 pm

No recipe listing anywhere that I've found, but I did find this link to a Sweet Potato Waffle recipe from the Whole Grain Baking book.

Amazon double billed and shipped my preorder, the mustards.

boo :( can you just dispute the charge on your credit card online?

Sour grapes - Book Depository still have my pre-order of Whole Grain Vegan Baking as awaiting publication, but if I click through to the listing from my order it's showing the book as currently available. Awww, firetruck, I've been really looking forward to this book's release. :(

yeah I ordered my Whole Grain Vegan Baking book along with another book that doesn't come out 'til april... so I guess I don't get the one until they're both ready. Oh well. It's not like I'm dying over here with no cookbooks to look through. It's really not like that at all.

That would concern me though if 1 recipe calls for 3 different flours. Maybe whole grain baking isn't for me.

lavawitch · **Posted:** Tue Mar 12, 2013 8:26 am

Ouch. Barley flour and corn flour? I've never seen those anywhere. I have quite a few different flours, but those aren't any I've ever needed.

I hope the book isn't all like that. I took a risk ordering it just by author and subject.

vijita · **Posted:** Tue Mar 12, 2013 8:36 am

Can't you just sub other flours, though? I appreciate the concept, but for those of us who are poor/not wheat-sensitive, is subbing a viable option?

lavawitch · **Posted:** Tue Mar 12, 2013 9:54 am

Hopefully the book addresses that. I wouldn't know wth to sub barley flour with.

The recipe isn't gluten free though, it calls for WW pastry flour, corn flour and barley flour.

Ameyfm, Amazon is starting to ship the preorders for Whole Grain Vegan Baking. I ordered it with some other preorders last month. The status kept saying April 8-11 as the estimated delivery date - until last night, when it was shipped. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow - yay! The way they handle preorders makes me crazy, but the prices are better, so I guess I'll keep doing it.

Perhaps when one of these upcoming cookbooks actually comes out, start a new thread instead of writing in here? That way, it'll be easier to find.

Amazon is extremely kind and quick. Whenever I have an issue, they fix it quickly and its back on my card in no time.

This - Vegan Desserts in Jars?
http://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Desserts-Ja ... 1612432255

The first line of the description bamboozles me "The appeal of a miniature cake, cobbler, or crumble baked and served in an adorable jar is no mystery."
It's a mystery to me, is this an American thing? I've seen individual desserts before now, nothing new there, but in jars?

It's going on my long list for now, especially since the description talks about storing them. It's hard finding single portion desserts, since it's just em eating them I either have to toss the rest or eat it every day till it's finished. A single portion dessert would be excellent.

linanil · **Posted:** Wed Mar 13, 2013 8:49 pm

I've never seen dessert in jars but I think that is adorable

I dont think it's an American thing; I think it's just a "people who like overly cutesy things" thing.

Hahahah! Yes. I've seen a few "desserts in jars". There's also a company in Seattle called hot cakes that sells molten cakes in jars that you bake.

Looks like verrines to me, except they use jars instead of glasses and verrines are not always desserts. So it may have more of a French influence.

So pre-ordered. even at 27 percent.
I'm 1/2 way tempted to order Denyse's pie book as well (i've mentioned it). I so heart pie.

But if they are in jars how are you meant to lick them clean when you are done?
