Trying the Joy of Vegan Baking

I'm on a tight budget right now. Which means I can't just go and buy vegan cookbooks whenever my heart desires. There were a few I had my eyes on but I wasn't quite sure which ones were worth buying. Enter the local library. I have a stack checked out right now...some are okay...some are definitely not okay...and some are stellar, like Joy of Vegan Baking. This weekend I tried out a few different recipes, such as the chocolate chip scones:

And the soft pretzels (oh how I adore soft pretzels...I think I had about 6 in the span of 2 days):

Not pictures are the raisin bran muffins. They're really tasty, just not all that pretty and photogenic. So the verdict? I will be sad when I have to give the book back, and it is most definitely going on my "worth buying" list.
