…And despite the fact that this is the first official announcement, it has long been out, since it’s near impossible to hide an Amazon.com listing.
Well, there’s no turning back now- My second cookbook, Vegan Desserts, will soon be on its way to a bookstore near you! Get your sweet tooth in gear, because this one will be jam-packed with well over 100 brand new, never before seen recipes, each and every one accompanied by a full-color photo. Arranged by season and drawing inspiration from fresh ingredients, holidays, and innovative flavor combinations, this is not just another classic baking book.
As if that all wasn’t exciting enough yet, brace yourself, because the much sought-after recipes for vegan meringues and macarons will be included!
Three years in the making, this book came precipitously close to being tossed out altogether. Sitting on my computer, growing older and less attractive by the day, I eventually realized that a final decision was necessary: Forget the whole mess ever existed and move on, or painstakingly fix all of the blemishes, large and small. This meant rephotographing everything, rewriting everything, and revamping the recipes. It was the equivalent of ripping 250 pages out of their binding, shredding 200, and starting again from there. But for that precise reason, because I couldn’t just speed this text along to the printer without a second thought, I am truly grateful. That initial rejection gave me time to grow as a baker and photographer, to vastly improve this final collection of recipes and images as a whole. Vegan Desserts is so much more than just another cookbook to me; it’s my baby, and I couldn’t be more proud of how it’s grown up. Now, I can only hope that everyone else feels the same way, too.
Congratulations Hannah!! If it’s half as good as the first book, it’s going to be a smashing success! I must have this :D
Waaaaaaahooooooo! I had no idea! This is a secret AND a surprise! Congratulations, Hannah! You are awesome, and we are aaaaalll grateful that you didn’t scrap this book. I absolutely cannot wait. :D
Looks delish! Can’t wait to see it in person!
Congrats! I can’t wait to check it out.

Congrats, girly! I will definitely be purchasing it! :)
The cover photos look great!
Oh my goodness, I CANNOT wait for this! Vegan macarons?? Yessss.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
YES. I can’t wait for this!
Congratulations, Hannah! I’m so excited for you! I cannot wait. Want to celebrate at Miya’s with me? :)
AWESOME! I’m so excited to dive into this!
One great big question: Is there any way to get the book so that you get as much money as possible?
This may be ridiculous but, I worry about you not getting enough of my money when I buy things through a third party. I don’t want to pay Amazon, I want you to get every smidge of my cash!
Aww, you are so extraordinarily thoughtful! Thank you, I’m so grateful that you would even consider that, and offer to buy the book directly! I’m planning on ordering a carton or two of books, and once they arrive, I can send you a Paypal invoice and ship you one directly. An extra bonus is that means I can sign it for you, too.
I’m saving your email address right now, and I’ll let you know when they’re available. :)
Add my e-mail addy to that list – I will be happy to contribute directly to you!
Same with me! I am so excited to get it!
Ooh ooh, me 4!
Me too – if you can ship to the UK?
If you’re still saving email addresses, please add me to the list. Thanks (and congrats)!
Please also email me when it’s out. I would love to get it directly from you. I loved your first book and think your ebooks are great too.
me too, me too! (though i’m in canada if that makes a difference)
and congratulations!!
Hooray! Congratulations! I love the idea of seasonal desserts.
And the layout of the cover is lovely. :)
this just made my day! i am going to order this baby on amazon right now!
WOW!!! I am so excited for you. Congratulations, Hannah. I am sure it’s a fabulous book.
I am so happy for you, babe! I can already tell that it’s gonna be amazing. As you know, I eat vegan on a fairly regular basis but also eat some seafood and meat products. Even so, I really support and admire the vegan lifestyle and the lover of baking and chemistry in me would definitely get this just for the macaron and marshmallow secrets alone! Really.cannot.wait!
Hoooray!
The cover does look sensational, and I am sure a good indicator of what lurks inside.
So awesome! <3
It looks lovely AND it’s already on my wish list! :)
Congratulations! The cover is beautiful, and a fitting tease for what’s inside.
Congrats Hannah! I can’t wait for this!
WHAT? My excitement cannot be contained! Congrats, Hannah, for all of your hard work. I am sure the book will be embraced by the vegan community, I know that I for one cannot wait to get my hands on it. Hardcover, too? Wowee!!
SO exciting, Hannah! I’m absolutely buying a copy :). Can’t wait to dive into all of these new recipes.
Fantastic news Hannah! I can’t wait to see what you have created. I have no doubt it will be amazing.
You know this already, but it’s worth repeating: I am overjoyed for you! I know it’s been a bumpy road and I am thrilled that you’re now gifting your baby to the world. I can’t wait to see it for myself!
:( aww its not on amazon.ca
Not to fear, my publisher has assured me that it will be available on Amazon.ca very shortly! It may just take a bit longer, but it should be available in time for the release.

Wow how exciting for you! I have a vegan friend who would love this. I’ll let her know! Your cover looks very tempting

What????? This is news to me! I’m so excited! I can’t wait! I think I’ve made everything in My Sweet Vegan 10 times! I can’t wait for new recipes :)
CONGRATS!!
Yahoo!! and Congratulations…Happy to say I’ve already pre-ordered my copy!! Can’t wait to get it. I’ve found there’s no easier way to convince people to try a vegan meal now and then, than to make them a tasty vegan dessert!! Thanks!!
Congratulations on your second book, Hannah! It looks beautiful!
I AM SO EXCITED! CONGRATS!
I am so glad to see another published book by you!
You’ve become a hero, I think, in the Vegan community! Every time I see your name on the VegNews, I skip everything and land on your yummy page!
Also, I am interested to see how you’ve grown! In your blog I see not only desserts, but savory dishes. Each dish explores a new food to me! :D
I can’t wait to see your baby, and I hope to have it sitting by my copy of your first book. (I’ll make some shelf room for the other books to come)
AGAIN, CONGRATS!
<3

You are a vegan goddess. I can’t wait to get my own copy. I’m already drooling over the cover images!
Congratulations! It sounds wonderful and those photos on the cover are mouthwatering!

So, so proud of your perseverence, particularly as it’s us who win out in the end! You’re an inspiration to me, Hannah. I always feel like my own dreams are insurmountably impossible, but your courage and talent and bravery make me feel like I could start taking small steps towards a happier future for myself. xo
Congratulations, Hannah! Since, my copy of “My Sweet Vegan” is well worn (& well loved), I cannot wait to get my oven mitts on your new “baby”!
Congratulations! The cover alone is great, can’t wait to see the recipes.
Well done Hannah!
I am in awe. You have not slowed down on the blog at all and have written another book!
When can I get it in the UK?
Although I’m told that my publisher will not be directly distributing the book in the UK, another printer is likely to pick it up. I wish I had a more definite answer, but hopefully it will just be a matter of time. Otherwise, I do plan to order a couple of cartons myself, and I would be happy to ship you one directly. Keep in touch when the release date draws nearer!
Edit: You’re in luck! It looks like it’s already been added to Amazon.co.uk, so there’s no need to worry. :)

Congrats!!!!!
I can’t imagine how the reworking process of the entire manuscript must have been–ugh, my work on a thesis, etc. has been quite enough for me.
If we can judge the book by its cover, this 2nd book is going to be amazing!
