For those who practice veganism--eating neither meat nor other animal products, such as fish, milk and milk products, eggs, and honey--here is a simple, realistic cook- and recipe dessert book for busy parents, those new to a vegan diet, people with egg or dairy allergies, folks watching their cholesterol, and traditional foodies who would consider going vegan if only it weren’t so intimidating. Kyle Domer (aka Vegan Vegrant) says: "This is a party on paper! These recipes take the hassle out of guilt-free dessert decadence." Reginald Beck (Fearless Bread) states: "It lives up to its title by providing REAL dessert classics with a vegan attitude. Maltese and Wright set the standard for vegan dessert recipes, from their heavenly spice cake to their decadent peanut butter S’mores cheesecake." Victor J. Banis (The Pot Thickens) adds: "These two published authors prove themselves as adept with pots as they are with plots. Here, they conjure my favorite course—dessert—with mouth-watering vegan panache." Well-known author A.B. Gayle notes: "GET-REAL VEGAN DESSERTS isn’t just for vegans but for friends and relatives of vegans who hesitate to invite, not knowing what to feed. Apart from its great recipes, the book provides invaluable information on acceptable ingredients and how to access them." Cookbook writer Bonnie Clark says: "I never dreamed there could be such a variety of decadent and delicious vegan desserts as offered up by Wright and Maltese by way of these mouth-watering recipes that so shamelessly seduce even a die-hard meat-eater like me!"

YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR FIRST TIME...as gourmand and gourmet author William Maltese proves in this charming memoir, wherein he reminiscences about his first-time encounters with thirty of his favorite menu items during his extensive world travels. Maltese, author of six cookbooks and his WILLIAM MALTESE WINE TASTER'S DIARY volumes for mainstream publisher Wildside/Borgo Press' "Traveling Gourmand" series, takes you on a fascinating culinary journey from the pubs of Ireland, to the lemon groves of Saudi Arabia, to the beaches of Korea, to dining with American working cowboys on day-long, pit-roasted short ribs served up from a chuck wagon on the grazing lands of the US southwest. With his creative skills, and those of his fellow chef and co-author Bonnie Clark, Maltese has duplicated the recipes for all thirty of these memorable Maltese firsts--so that you, too, can enjoy them without journeying beyond the comfort of your own kitchen. You won't stay hungry after sampling these culinary delights!
