I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes. I remember hearing about Babycakes bakery for the first time on Cupcake Wars. I was impressed that they were doing gluten free, vegan cupcakes that tasted good. While I’m not vegan, I appreciated the difficultly that came not only with baking gluten free but also vegan. Eggs are a go-to binder for many gluten free bakers – myself included, so not using eggs was rather intriguing.

Special thanks to Blogging for Books for providing a review copy of this book. One of my favorite things about this book is the scientific approach to baking. It goes into techniques, baking theories, tools, and ingredients before diving into the art of working with a sour dough starter and sprouted grain flours.
