Why aren't we using vegetables in dessert? They are as sweet as many fruits, and offer incredible flavors and visual appeal, and of course a wonderful boost of nutrition as well. This baking book with a difference brings you a kale and coconut gateau, asparagus and sesame cake, a carrot and cilantro tray bake, cheesecakes made with fennel, pumpkin, beet ... along with all the health benefits. Children will spot evidence of green in a veggie burger within seconds, but give them a cake with a big cauliflower inside, and the silliness of it opens the door. Why conform to the norm, let's embrace the strange and say yes to vegetables in unusual places!
