Making desserts without animal ingredients doesn’t mean giving up on the classics; it means learning how to transform a traditional dessert, rich in eggs and butter, into a 100% plant-based creation.
Plant-based pastry is a vast world, full of new and spectacular ingredients made from plants and fruits that allow us to replace any animal ingredient.
Creating a positive change! Through the discovery of new ingredients, new processing methods, and production techniques, we can renew a recipe to make it completely plant-based. We can eliminate ingredients that exploit animals and make our kitchen a better place.

Because replacing not just one but many ingredients at once (eggs, milk, cream, butter, gelatin…) seems impossible, it creates confusion, and you don’t know where to start.
This is completely normal—new things can be intimidating. When you don’t know the available options, the plant-based alternatives that exist, or how to use them, it can be challenging.
How can you get out of this confusion?
Rely on an expert in the field, someone who can HELP you take your first steps and DISCOVER this world.
But is it difficult?
Making vegan desserts IS NOT COMPLICATED; it just requires studying, practicing, and experimenting, as in any other field.
You will learn what they are, their purpose, what they contribute to the recipe, why they need to be used, and if and how they can be substituted, etc.
Independence
By understanding the FUNCTION OF INGREDIENTS, you will be able to create your own recipes and balance them as you wish, according to the desired outcome.
