This dessert book is, first of all, absolutely gorgeous!! the photographs are beautiful and the food styling is excellent - absolutely world class in every way!!

I, like some of the others reviewers, haven't actually made anything from the book yet but, i have had the desserts at m cafe and they are to die for!!! i love love love the strawberry shortcake and the cupcakes.

unfortunately, i live less than 2 blocks away from m cafe so it is way too convenient for me to have a dessert every day!!! not to mention that another veg place, busaba, has just recently opened across the street and they have to die for coconut sorbet. way too many dessert options in walking distance - but at least they are healthy desserts.

i met eric and his wife at a book signing recently at erewhon and was equally impressed with the man behind the talent. they were such nice people and told me that they self-published the cookbook themselves - simply unbelievably!! this cookbook is world-class in every way - presentation, writing clarity, and just sheer beauty.

This cookbook has the most beautiful pictures of vegan macrobiotic desserts. Pictures are on almost every page. I recently tried the Strawberry Mousse Pie. It was delicious and elegant.

I am not a macrobiotic cook but I am a vegan. I owned many vegan cookbooks but this particular one is dedicated to desserts. The style of the desserts in this book is European or French Japanese style so the desserts are not too sweet. I used to go to French Japanese bakeries in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles and love their desserts and pastries. After being a vegan, I was deprived of this kind of desserts. Not anymore! Thanks to Chef Eric Lechasseur. If you are looking for a very sweet fudgy brownie recipe, this cookbook is not for you. But if you looking for a healthy, elegant, but delicious European style desserts, this is the perfect cookbook!

There is NO REFINED SUGAR, DAIRY, and EGGS in the recipes. I would like to try more recipes like Tiramisu, Blueberry Pinenut Pie, Upside-down Berry Pie, Chocolate Raspberry Charlotte, and Adzuki Roll. Hhmmm....they all looks so good.

I have been to M Cafe De Chaya once and fell in love with their desserts. Eric Lechausser is the pastry chef of this restaurant and that's how I got his cookbook. He is brilliant! As the previous reviewer said, I live 1 hour away from M Cafe but it was worth it to fight the crazy traffic in Melrose Ave and 101 Fwy. to dine and eat desserts at M Cafe.

The almond anise biscotti is incredible. I have made it at least 4 times and it gets better each time. Fabulous pictures. Can't wait to try the other recipes.
