Hi everyone! The awesome blog, Vegan in the Sun: Caribbean Vegan Delights reviewed a recipe out of The Vegan Scoop for soursop ice cream. The post has some beautiful pictures so we advise everyone to check it out!
"The milky thick texture of the soursop makes it an excellent fruit for a creamy ice cream based. I purchased some cookbooks last week and one I was reading through was the Vegan Scoop by Wheeler del Torro. In the book is a bunch of island flavours but I did not see the more obvious one soursop. I took it upon myself to make a soursop ice-cream recipe this morning..."

Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful labor day weekend! We sure did, but we're glad to be back, because we've had a really exciting week!
On September 8th, Mos Def and Talib Kweli performed at the House of Blues in Boston and we were graciously invited to provide the desserts in the green room for the artists.
We served up autumn-weather appropriate Platinum Patron Apple Cider, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Swirl, Mexican Chocolate, Cucumber Vanilla and Mango ice cream.
As we're drafting up the first few chapters of our next book, we will be sure to include this event! So while here are some great preview pictures of our night, you'll have to pick up the book to see the backstage shots of Mos Def and Talib Kweli enjoying their vegan desserts.
Enjoy!

Hi everyone! The prestigious Tasting Table has featured our book, The Vegan Scoop, in one of their most recent articles!
To celebrate the back-to-school season, we thought we'd give everyone a glimpse of what Wheeler del Torro has been reading lately. While he's working hard on writing his new book to be released next fall, Wheeler would like to make a few vegan cookbook recommendations (for those who can't wait for our next book to be released).
BabyCakes: Vegan, (Mostly) Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York's Most Talked-About Bakery (Hardcover)
From Publishers Weekly-- Diagnosed with wheat and dairy allergies in 2004, McKenna faced a life free of cupcakes, pies and brownies. Refusing to accept such a bleak future, McKenna did her research and opened Babycakes, a vegan, gluten-free bakery that has since been warmly embraced by cupcake-crazy Manhattanites. Here she shows readers how to create vegan and gluten-free versions of favorites like apple pie, chocolate chip cookies, gingerbread and Babycakes's infamous cupcakes (named best in the city by New York magazine in 2006). Her like-for-like recipes (including Healthy Hostess cupcakes and ingenious methods for dying frostings without artificial food coloring) are sure to satisfy discerning palates, and her emphasis on the traditional (blondies, biscuits, red velvet cupcakes, etc.) make her recipes easy to incorporate into the regular rotation. A number of specialty ingredients are required (agave nectar, xanthan gum, coconut oil, etc.), which can be pricey but are fairly easy to source (online vendors are listed).; Happily, however, McKenna keeps the ingredient list to a minimum. Those new to gluten- and sugar-free baking may be intimidated, but McKenna is friendly, patient, enthusiastic and encouraging. Those with dietary restrictions, and their families, will find this cookbook a sweet revelation.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
"In this book, Erin has finally shared her trade secrets — the ingredients and techniques that lend BabyCakes' desserts the flavors, textures, and happiness-factor you'd find in the best patisserie. The highest praise I can offer is this: follow her recipes to the letter and you'll fool them every time."
