Today I am excited to share with you guys something very special to me… a sampling of the type of recipes as found in my first book, ‘Great Gluten Free Vegan Eats‘!
The layout (as seen below) is gorgeous (okay, maybe I’m biased, but I happen to be head over heels in love with it). The amazing folks at Fair Winds Press did a stellar job with the layout, editing, and all the other labor-intensive stuff that goes into making a cookbook look and read so wonderfully.
I seriously feel incredibly lucky to have landed my first cookbook deal with Fair Winds Press. I mean, they have put out some of my favorite books of all time like Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites by Celine Steen and Joni Marie Newman, Color Me Vegan by Colleen Patrick Goudreau, and The Healthy Voyager’s Global Kitchen by Carolyn Scott Hamilton, so I had no doubt in my mind that they would do wonders with my first book… and they exceeded my expectations.
Take a looksy and let me know what you think! Every single recipe in the book has an accompanying photograph, and the whole book is done in the hip–yet classy–design seen below. I’m so excited!
Just click on the photo (and it will appear in another window and can easily be enlarged) to get at the recipe without straining your peepers.

Your book is going to be gorgeous! I can’t wait to see more of these lovely recipes.
Beautiful–can’t wait!!
I swooOOoooon!
Beautiful photography Allyson, I just wish Summer would hurry up and get here already. Well maybe Spring too. :-) Great layout too. It’s surprising how often publishers forget how important that is in a cookbook. Well done! Yeah!
I need that kofta curry in my life! Can’t wait for your book. I’d be happy to review a copy when the time comes! :)
Beautiful! I love that you include a picture & nutritional info for each recipe!
Ooh how exciting! You’re right, the layout looks great. And the recipes, of course, are fabulous. :) Well done, Allyson!
GORGEOUS!!!!!
Simply gorgeous! The veggie kofta sounds fabulous – thank you for sharing the recipe! At first, I thought that having that recipe to try would help me wait until the book comes out, but on second thought I realised that it may make me even more impatient to see what other delights you have in there! :)
Ohhh my! I’m excited. Congrats! The layout is super cute, I LOVE that you have a photo for each recipe — it makes it so much more inviting to try out new recipes. I also like that you provide the nutritional info. Well done! Now I must go try the Veggie Kofta…mmmm.
Allyson: I’m so excited for you and use GFVegans!!! And I LOVE that every recipe has an accompanying photograph! It’s one major reason why I buy a cook book or not. I am a total visual person (artist) and it just appeals to me. When is it coming out? When we pre-order?!!!!
Thank you, Marty! the book comes out June 15th of this year. It’s available for presale now! http://www.amazon.com/Great-Gluten-Free-Vegan-Eats-Allergy-Free/dp/1592335136

WOW. I do love the layout! SO happy that there are more gluten free vegan books…….just cannot believe how many vegan, raw, gluten free everything is available now. Will surely be on my wish list!

Allyson!!! This is fantastic! Fair Winds Press is quickly becoming my favorite publisher. I love the layouts of their books so freaking much. I cannot wait for your book to come out.
wow these recipes are amazing! i just found your blog and love it! good luck with the book!
Can. Not. Wait! Having tested for your book, I can say with absolute certainty that your book will turn xGFx food mainstream. My file of your recipes is falling apart — I can’t wait to hold this beautiful book in my hands and perch it between my other favorite vegan cookbooks! {by Celine/Joni and Dynise, of course!}
It’s exquisite, Allyson. And this from a former book editor, whose standards are impossible :)
This looks beautiful! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!
I just made the strawberry kale salad – it was delicious! The book sounds great, and I also love that every recipe has a photo.
It looks wonderful and huge congrats on your book deal!!
The layout is gorgeous! I can’t wait for this book to come out, I was super sad when the tester recipe site was taken down, there’s a nice few recipes I’m looking forward to making again!
Thanks, Maggie!!
