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 "

Wright delights with this collection of hilarious tales about mothering, marriage, society and being a woman. Titles include: How the Phone Thwarted my Birth Control (or Why Disconnecting the Phone is 95% More Effective than Vasectomy), Belts Are the New Lace Panties, Good Fences Make Good Voyeurs, People for the Ethical Treatment of Riflemen, and many, many more. Wright is a modern-day Erma Bombeck with a hip edge and never-fail wit
