Who This Book Is For?
Veganissima is an essential resource for:
Professional caterers and private chefs who regularly cater to gluten-free vegan dietary requirements and need a reliable, impressive repertoire to draw from.
Pastry chefs and bakers seeking to expand their gluten-free vegan offering without sacrificing quality, texture, or visual impact.
Event and wedding caterers who need stunning, celebration-ready recipes for every occasion throughout the year.

A Look Inside Veganissima
Veganissima is structured as a complete, professional-grade kitchen resource and meticulously organised into 5 comprehensive parts, bridging the gap between artistic culinary expression and foolproof technical execution.
Each section features beautiful gluten-free vegan recipes designed to delight the senses and create unforgettable moments. They are tiny masterpieces of edible artistry, combining exquisite presentation with exceptional flavour. Every recipe has been personally created to impress family, friends, guests, and customers while proving that gluten-free vegan desserts can rival any traditional confection.
Part 1: Sweets
This is the centrepiece of the book — a breathtaking collection of gluten-free vegan sweet recipes organised by celebration, covering:
Halloween · Christmas · Valentine’s Day · Mother’s Day · Easter · Chelsea Flower Show · Baby Shower · Summer · Winter
Each seasonal and occasion-based chapter delivers recipes tailored to the mood, aesthetic, and spirit of that event. These are, in the author’s own words, “tiny masterpieces of tasty joy” — and the description fits. Whether you are creating festive bakes for a Christmas table, delicate confections for a Mother’s Day afternoon tea, or ethereal spring creations for an Easter celebration, the Sweets section gives you something extraordinary and appropriate for every moment.
For caterers and chefs, this section alone represents an invaluable toolkit: a curated, season-by-season collection of gluten-free vegan showstoppers that will delight guests regardless of their dietary preferences.
Part 2: Savouries
| The savouries chapter steps beyond sweet treats to deliver nine complete savoury recipes across four key categories: Wraps · Tarts · Patties · Breads These are practical, versatile recipes with wide applications — from market stalls and café menus to canapes, buffets, and plated event courses. Every recipe is written in full, with weights and measures provided in both imperial and metric, making it equally accessible to professional kitchens and home cooks around the world. |
Part 3: Essentials
The holy grail of plant-based baking: foolproof formulas for the perfect vegan gluten-free Pastries, Sponges, Creams, and Mousses.
This is where Veganissima elevates itself above other vegan gluten-free books. Rather than simply providing finished recipes, the Essentials section teaches the fundamental preparations that underpin everything:
Vegan Gluten-Free Pastries · Sponges · Creams · Mousses
Each method is explained in full, with comprehensive ingredients lists in both imperial and metric measures. For a chef looking to adapt or build their own recipes on a solid gluten-free vegan foundation, this section is invaluable. It demystifies the science and technique behind achieving the textures and structures that are so often elusive in vegan gluten-free baking.
Part 4: Techniques & Decorations
Professional grade mastery made simple. Learn foolproof techniques for striking Glazes, Chocolate Work, and Decorations. Part 4 addresses this directly, teaching:
Vegan Gluten-free decorations — how to create them beautifully and reliably
Glazes — achieving professional shine and finish without any animal-derived ingredients
Chocolate work — the techniques and methods that transform a good product into something extraordinary
Preparation methods — fail-proof processes that can be applied across the book
Part 5: The Pantry
No professional cookbook is complete without a robust reference section, and Veganissima delivers. The Pantry covers:
Useful information for working in the gluten-free vegan space
Ingredients guide — understanding what to use and why
Equipment — what you need to succeed
Weight and measurement conversions — clear, comprehensive, and easy to use
Useful addresses — sourcing support for professional and home kitchens alike
Full book index — so every recipe and technique is always within easy reach

Why My Book Veganissima Stands Apart
The vegan gluten-free market is growing rapidly, driven by both lifestyle choice and medical necessity. Yet the cookery resources available to cater for it — particularly at a professional and celebratory level — have lagged behind. Veganissima fills that gap with authority.
This is a book built on genuine culinary expertise, precision in method, and a deep commitment to the idea that dietary requirements should never mean a lesser experience. With over 40 recipes spanning every occasion, skill level, and application — from the most delicate celebration sweet to the everyday savoury — and supported by masterclass sections in essentials and technique, Veganissima is not just a cookbook. It is a complete professional resource for anyone serious about vegan gluten-free cooking.
For chefs, caterers, and food businesses looking to serve this growing and appreciative community with real excellence — Veganissima is the book for your kitchen.
Why Veganissima is a Must Have for Industry Professionals
“These are tiny masterpieces of tasty joy made for both vegans and non-vegans alike.”
Universal Appeal: The biggest hurdle in allergy-friendly baking is creating a product that appeals to everyone. Veganissima cracks the code. These recipes don’t just mimic traditional pastries; they stand on their own as elite culinary creations that will delight even your most traditional diners.
Dual-Measurement Precision: Consistency is everything in a commercial kitchen or busy household. Every single recipe in the Savouries, Essentials, and Sweets sections features exact weights and measures in both imperial and metric units, ensuring perfect results every single time.
Seasonal & Event-Ready Menu Planning: Part 1 is brilliantly curated around specific holidays and high-end events (like the Chelsea Flower Show). This allows chefs and caterers to effortlessly roll out seasonal specials and themed afternoon teas that are already fully tested and optimised.
Mastery of the “Impossible”: Perfecting vegan gluten-free sponges, laminations, and stable creams is notoriously difficult. Veganissima strips away the guesswork by breaking down the exact science and techniques behind flawless textures and stunning visual decorations.
The Verdict
Veganissima isn’t just a recipe book; it is a powerful tool to elevate your craft, diversify your offerings, and wow your clientele. It proves that omitting gluten and animal products doesn’t mean omitting joy, luxury, or flavour.
Get ready to transform your kitchen and set a new standard for modern, inclusive dining.
