The Divvies Bakery Cookbook
(St. Martin’s Press, Fall 2010)
Delicious. Decadent. DIVVIES. This cookbook is poised to be a kitchen staple, with its assortment of delicious recipes, free of the four major food allergens – peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, and eggs. Created with double dollops of the good and the gooey – think oatmeal, chocolate, molasses, and brown sugar – these confections are not only safe to eat, but absolutely delicious for everyone, even those without food allergies. What started as a mother’s labor of love for her son with serious food allergies grew into DIVVIES, a thriving bakery business that helps the millions of people with serious food allergies to put the sweet and the fun back in their kitchens.
Now, you can whip up Divvies treats in your own kitchen—cookies, cupcakes, pies, muffins, and more—even if you’re a baking beginner. What’s more, the recipes are all vegan and made with easy-to-find ingredients! In these pages, you’ll also learn how to stock an allergen-free kitchen, read ingredient labels (without going crazy!), and make foolproof snacks in 10 minutes or less.
