Incredible photos…you give marie claire’s cook books photography a run for thier money….
Question…do you use an normal point and shoot camera? or an SLR ? or is it all in the lighting? Please enlighten me…
Do you mind if I use your picture of the cut open blueberry muffin to promote a new shake that I made at the health food store that I work at. I want to call the shake, the Blueberry Muffin.

I think your site is fantastic! I am having a party on 8/8/08 to have some friends over to watch the Olympic opening festivities & I will attempt to make your napoleons – I love the idea of having cashews in the creme! Everything on your site looks so wonderful. I’m so happy I just stumbled on this site (I was googling baked doughnut recipes & found yours). I’m also anxious to try the cupcake in ice cream cone recipe! Wow! I wish you the best of luck on your cookbook!!
Incredible blog, gorgeous pictures, tremendous! We were wondering if you could put a link on your blog to our site at http://www.Vegiac.com it is a community for vegetarians and vegans who are gluten free. We would truly appreciate it! We’ll put a link to your blog in our links section as well. Thanks keep up the awesome work!!

Hi Lolo
I wanted to say thank you for the food photography. I recently purchased a canon 400D with the romantic idea that I would pull it out of the packet and be taking wonderful photos in no time at all…well, I have been feeling pretty down and overwhelmed with the functions and my complete lack of skill! Of course it takes time, however reading your page about photography has inspired me and the ideas with backdrops and lighting are fantastic.
Hi LoLo,
I stumbled accross this site from a cloth diapering site (not all just about CDing ) and anyway I am in awe. We have alot in common and I’d love to chit chat with you. I’m 90% vegan and have been for a couple yrs now before that was veg. I do eat eggs still. Pls contact me if you have a sec I’m just north of Boston in Beverly and would love to connect. Do you have a space or do you do all this out of home?congrats with all you’ve done and best wishes for all you do! Hope to hear from you.
Angela :)

Hi LoLo,
I too stumbled upon this site because I was looking for won ton soup recipes. I was fascinated with your site and how visually artistic you are with your foods.
I’ve been vegan/ vegetarian for 13 years. It’s really tough creating new ideas since we can’t get a lot of the food stuffs that are available everywhere else. I live in Manitoba…..
I would love to join or register your website but do not know how to go about it. Please guide me; I am looking so forward to learning new ways to enhance our eating lifestyle, with your simplicity and wonderful tasting dishes. All the best,
Freda

I have been looking for a great vegan/vegetarian recipe site and your blog is just what I am looking for. Beautiful recipes, not too complex, well explained… I live in Boston, too. That is awesome that you live here. I have been a vegetarian for 14 years and am trying to become vegan. Your blog shows it can be done and still eat well. Thanks!

Myer Lemon Recipes.
Hi there. I live in Miami and we are getting a lot of Meyer lemons. I wanted to make a meyer lemon curd but the recipe I found http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Meyer-Lemon-Curd-102744 calls for eggs. Do you think I can substitute flax seeds?
Found your website when searching “poolish”. I was following a recipe from Crust and Crumb by Peter Reinhart and was uncertain just what “foamy and bubbly” meant…was my poolish foamy and bubbly ENOUGH? Well, now I know thanks to your beautiful photos! My poolish has a little ways to go yet, but there’s some focaccia on my horizon!
Thanks for the great website and photos – I anticipate trying a couple of your recipes!
I know you have read it before but it is my turn to say it hehehehe.. I adore your blog I have been in here for at least two hours since I found it. I have been tryig to find a way to subscribe but can’t find it… can you pleeeeeease let me know if I can subscribe and how?
I have a 100 vegan – eco-friendly site called Vegan Karma , and I was wondering if we could do a link exchange with your site ??
we would put your link on our very busy HOMEPAGE , and in return you could put our logo/text link on your site ….
let me know if you are interested ….
thank you ,

hey, i am big fan of your blog, and i just wanted to let you know that i am launching my own new blog on vegan desserts! just thought you might want to check it out! http://www.sugarbeatseggs.wordpress.com
Hello Lolo (or is it Lauren?): Somehow, I came across your website: http://www.veganyumyum.com and spent some time going through it. You can do some pretty amazing stuff. I watched the video with Martha Stewart and your “craftmanship” with the pastries. I have a website: http://www.dineandfind.com down here in Tampa and would like to have your permission to link your site in my “Links” section for my viewers. I have a restaurant listing down in St. Petersburg that is a Raw Vegan/Vegetarian restaurant: Leafy Green Cafe. You might want to touch base with the owner there, Denise Becknell, as the two of you seem to have quite a bit in common.

Higgy | July 31st, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Your site is definitly on my top favorite recipe sites. All your stuff looks so amazing and tastey I cant wait to try my hand at some of your ideas.
I am in no way vegan (sorry I love my meats) but your dishes are very inspirational.
My name is Patrick, and I am from Tawian. Just found your blog with so many great recipes and information, I am wondering if I can have your permission to translate some of them into Chinese and post in my website, VegTomato, http://www.vegtomato.org/, to inspire people go veganism/vegetarianism? VegTomato is a non-profit and non-commerical website, and all of us are volunteers.
I will link back to here and credit it to you!!
Sincerely yours,
Patrick

These photos are amazing and the food looks great! That’s so cool that you’re writing a cookbook…keep it up! I just saw “Julie and Julia,” and it made me want to stop college, create a blog, and become a famous writer (although I wouldn’t want to bone a duck….ever.) Congrats on all your hard work!

I just wanted to look up cupcakes with marzipan and you came up!
I am from Sydney and am full vegan. I really liked the creativity in the cupcakes, and your whole site consists of natural talent.
I don’t believe you always need formal training.
I like the photography. It’s clean and interesting, and you can tell you are vegan because your skin glows with supreme health.
You should always use these header files in pairs. ,

Cassandra | October 24th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
I just discovered your website, and I absolutely adore it! I have a suggestion for a how to: preparing/prepping artichokes. It seems like a lot of people have different ways of doing it. It would be great to know what your favorite way is, or the way to cut them that makes them look the “prettiest.” :o)
52.
Cassandra | October 24th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Hmmm.. not sure why my smiley face came out like that, maybe because I do a “nose” when I type them. It should be like this– :) lol

I found the website, bought the book and have been absolutely thrilled with all of the recipes. Yours is my favorite vegan cookbook. The recipes are wonderful!

Tamar | December 20th, 2009 at 6:23 am
After years of being tempted into a vegan lifestyle I have finally taken the plunge and I couldn’t be more eager, I also couldn’t be more inspired by VeganYumYum which is probably the best site I have come across. It is simple to navigate, look around, and the recipes are well written and easy to follow. Thank you, thank you, thank you …
Hi: I’m so happy to have discovered your vegan Alfredo sauce. FYI: I cut back on the mustard and garlic, though (my preference). I will try those roasted peppers next time I make a batch… Very cool to see you with Martha. You were tremendously poised on national TV. Peas…
So glad I’ve found this blog, so inspiring. I’ve been vegan for years and love cooking, but I’m going to get so much from here.
Fantastic!

Jennifer | March 29th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
I need your help!
Can you show a picture tutorial on how to prepare tofu? As a newly devoted vegan, I have been trying to follow your recipes, however, I only seem to make tofu disasters or slimy tofu dishes where the tofu has disintegrated into a flavorless mush.
The main reason i love your cookbook is because you show every recipe with a picture. That really helps alot!

Amy | April 28th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
I just had to come here and tell you how awesome I think you are! I’m breastfeeding my son who is allergic to SO many things – dairy, eggs, tomato, avocado, pears…the list goes on. I’ve had to become pretty creative with my diet to stay satisfied and at the same time meet our nutritional needs. For the first two months I pretty much stuck to a whole foods diet – fruit, veggies and meat. But I quickly realized I wasn’t going to survive on that diet alone. I need something decadent every once in a while! So I started searching for vegan products and recipes, since I could be confident that they’re dairy and egg free. Wow…really…wow!!! You are inspired! I actually got my husband to not just eat but ENJOY tofu (sweet chili lime). And your alfredo recipe…I didn’t think anything would satisfy my craving for cheese. I really thought it’d be there until I stopped breastfeeding and then I’d lock myself in a room with 10 packages of polly-o mozzerella and not come out until they were all gone. That is no longer a concern! And the potato/leek soup! I mean, recipies don’t get any easier than that but it is SO delicious! I truly can’t wait to try more.
I pray that my son will grow out of his allergies but I will never grow tired of the delicious recipes I’ve found in your cookbook, Thank you for making this experience so much easier for me. Breastfeeding moms often feel isolated and think they have to sacrifice their freedom to breastfeed thier babies. I never felt they way. I love it. And I know I’m doing the best thing for him by breastfeeding him. But not eating cheese, or butter, or an omlette…I really started questioning how I was going to get through this. Now that I found your book I can get back to enjoying breastfeeding my son without feeling like I’m sacrificing anything to do it. Thank you!

Fran Rosenbluh | June 23rd, 2010 at 6:12 pm

c lipsig | June 25th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
hi lalo!
spent two hours on the floor of borders trying to decide which vegan cookbook i wanted to try… yours was my favorite. thank you for the pictures!!!!! when cooking in a new realm it is always more inspiring to have pictures… it helps visualize what you are doing, ya know. i have serious carnivores in my residences so i am getting whining, whimpering and so on but so far i have loved everything i have tried. my husband loved the cheezy toast with kale. he ate three (big compliment). thank you for making a beautiful and inspiring (fun to read too) cookbook for us non vegan but still globally minded folks
The pics are great! It’s great to see some instructions along with the great recipes. The recipe with seitan and teriyaki sauce you made is something I would really love.
I have been wondering what to do with seitan.
Thanks for the recipe idea!

Nita Ruggiero | July 20th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
i have to tell you that I after finding your blog a few months ago, I bought your cookbook and it is wonderful. Some of the best vegan foods I have ever tasted have come from this blog and your cookbook – prepared in my own kitchen. You are an extremely talented and gifted cook. Don’t let the negative people of this world make you forget that. You gave your time freely to many people and are more than likely responsible for leading a lot of people to veganism and in doing so, made the world a better place. Thank you for your time and efforts.
I love reading your site! and thanks for the food photography tips!!

Lauren, my daughter and I are beginning our journey through your book, Vegan Yum Yum. We will not be posting your recipes, but we’ll be showcasing them. We plan on having ‘Sunday Suppers’, apart, yet together. She lives in northern California, and I live in Texas.
Grabbed a copy of your book last week and i’m amazed by how good the recipes look. Thank you for taking the time to write them down!

I got your book-Vegan Yum Yum. I made the breakfast maple soysauce squares with tofu. I learned to get the water out of the tofu. The glaze was amazing! I used it for a ham subsitute over steams bitter melon & cauliflowers! The sweet tangy meaty texture over the vegs. was so delicious!!!!
I am a nun and a chef at our Retreat facility for our Community on Cape Cod. I ran across your website when I was looking for recipes to prepare for our Convent – many of our Sisters have gone “vegan” to help with their health and it has been really successful. Your site is charming, and your pictures are inspirational!! All of your recipes makes me want to jump into the kitchen and start cooking!
If you would ever consider donating a copy of your cookbook to us for use at our Convent and Retreat kitchen, we would absolutely love it.
Keep up the good work, inspiring people to eat healthy with beautiful and tasty food ! If you are ever on the Cape, please stop by to visit us!

Beautiful website and photographs. My wife and I stay at your parent’s cabin (Apple House) every October and she gave us one of your cookbooks last year. We just adopted a vegan diet and am looking forward to trying your recipes. Good luck!
I love your book and blog. I was at Barnes and Noble looking thru the Vegan cookbooks when I saw yours.
I read a bit of it and saw that it had some tasty looking recipes. I bought it and went home and made the Macaroni and Cheese.
I have been a Vegan for 2 1/2 months and am tired of just beans and plain tasting food.
I ate three bowls of the Mac and Cheese before I could stop. It is so tasty. Thank you so much. I think I can do this Vegan diet now with your book and blog. I have to do it for health reasons. I’m 72 and it’s hard to change. Thank you a million times. Pattsy ps I found your blog in your book.

Hi!
I did not find out how to comment on your post so I ask you here instead; I love your recipie of spicy lemon pepper pasta with broccoli! I am trying to inspire my friends to go vegan and would like to share this recipie on facebook. Would you mind if I translate it into Norwegian, change the unit of measurement to litres and decilitres and suggest some alternative ingrediences which is more easy accessible while linking to your blog?
Thank you very much for posting and sharing your recipies! :-)
Best regards Therese, vegan in Norway

I posted this on your Facebook page as well – but thought it really belonged here :
Was browsing through your book at a book store and could not put it down :) I love how every recipe is “presented” and how you included pictures for everything! Beautiful work! I had to buy it! :)
I have recently started tiptoeing towards veganism and I started a blog about my journey. So glad I found you and your fabulous recipes. I can’t wait to try some of them. I’ll have to get your cookbook. Great website. Thanks for inspiring me to keep heading towards veganland.
Got the Yum Yum App on my iPhone. Finally decided try something and chose the Asparagus tart since its on sale this week. It was Fantastic. Made it for pinch and came back and made another for dinner. It was so good I went to Amazon and got your book to see what else I can try. Thanks!
Fantasic, was thinking of getting the yum yum app also for the ipad when i get the time, I am now the orange supreme master.
thank you Yum Yum looking forward to the next installment.

Hi Lolo
I wanted to say thank you for the food photography. I recently purchased a canon 400D with the romantic idea that I would pull it out of the packet and be taking wonderful photos in no time at all…well, I have been feeling pretty down and overwhelmed with the functions and my complete lack of skill! Of course it takes time, however reading your page about photography has inspired me and the ideas with backdrops and lighting are fantastic.
So, again thank you, for the food and the help.
From Maree in Australia :)

Hi LoLo,
I stumbled accross this site from a cloth diapering site (not all just about CDing ) and anyway I am in awe. We have alot in common and I’d love to chit chat with you. I’m 90% vegan and have been for a couple yrs now before that was veg. I do eat eggs still. Pls contact me if you have a sec I’m just north of Boston in Beverly and would love to connect. Do you have a space or do you do all this out of home?congrats with all you’ve done and best wishes for all you do! Hope to hear from you.
Angela :)
24. freda | November 15th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Hi LoLo,
I too stumbled upon this site because I was looking for won ton soup recipes. I was fascinated with your site and how visually artistic you are with your foods.
I’ve been vegan/ vegetarian for 13 years. It’s really tough creating new ideas since we can’t get a lot of the food stuffs that are available everywhere else. I live in Manitoba…..
I would love to join or register your website but do not know how to go about it. Please guide me; I am looking so forward to learning new ways to enhance our eating lifestyle, with your simplicity and wonderful tasting dishes. All the best,
Freda
25. Colleen | November 18th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
I have been looking for a great vegan/vegetarian recipe site and your blog is just what I am looking for. Beautiful recipes, not too complex, well explained… I live in Boston, too. That is awesome that you live here. I have been a vegetarian for 14 years and am trying to become vegan. Your blog shows it can be done and still eat well. Thanks!

Myer Lemon Recipes.
Hi there. I live in Miami and we are getting a lot of Meyer lemons. I wanted to make a meyer lemon curd but the recipe I found
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Meyer-Lemon-Curd-102744 calls for eggs. Do you think I can substitute flax seeds?

32. Nina | February 8th, 2009 at 9:23 am
Found your website when searching “poolish”. I was following a recipe from Crust and Crumb by Peter Reinhart and was uncertain just what “foamy and bubbly” meant…was my poolish foamy and bubbly ENOUGH? Well, now I know thanks to your beautiful photos! My poolish has a little ways to go yet, but there’s some focaccia on my horizon!
Thanks for the great website and photos – I anticipate trying a couple of your recipes!
33. Karla | February 14th, 2009 at 1:14 pm

Hello Lolo (or is it Lauren?): Somehow, I came across your website: http://www.veganyumyum.com and spent some time going through it. You can do some pretty amazing stuff. I watched the video with Martha Stewart and your “craftmanship” with the pastries. I have a website: http://www.dineandfind.com down here in Tampa and would like to have your permission to link your site in my “Links” section for my viewers. I have a restaurant listing down in St. Petersburg that is a Raw Vegan/Vegetarian restaurant: Leafy Green Cafe. You might want to touch base with the owner there, Denise Becknell, as the two of you seem to have quite a bit in common.

44. Higgy | July 31st, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Your site is definitly on my top favorite recipe sites. All your stuff looks so amazing and tastey I cant wait to try my hand at some of your ideas.
I am in no way vegan (sorry I love my meats) but your dishes are very inspirational.
45. Patrick | August 5th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Hi, LoLo,
My name is Patrick, and I am from Tawian. Just found your blog with so many great recipes and information, I am wondering if I can have your permission to translate some of them into Chinese and post in my website, VegTomato, http://www.vegtomato.org/, to inspire people go veganism/vegetarianism? VegTomato is a non-profit and non-commerical website, and all of us are volunteers.
I will link back to here and credit it to you!!
Sincerely yours,
Patrick
46. Lindsay | August 15th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
These photos are amazing and the food looks great! That’s so cool that you’re writing a cookbook…keep it up! I just saw “Julie and Julia,” and it made me want to stop college, create a blog, and become a famous writer (although I wouldn’t want to bone a duck….ever.) Congrats on all your hard work!
47. Damon | September 16th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
You are a great cooker and a superb food photographer .
You are a true artist and I’m honored to see your work.
keep it up
48. Bronwyn Hughes | September 30th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
I just wanted to look up cupcakes with marzipan and you came up!
I am from Sydney and am full vegan. I really liked the creativity in the cupcakes, and your whole site consists of natural talent.
I don’t believe you always need formal training.
I like the photography. It’s clean and interesting, and you can tell you are vegan because your skin glows with supreme health.
Well done and all the very best.

I just discovered your website, and I absolutely adore it! I have a suggestion for a how to: preparing/prepping artichokes. It seems like a lot of people have different ways of doing it. It would be great to know what your favorite way is, or the way to cut them that makes them look the “prettiest.” :o)
52. Cassandra | October 24th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Hmmm.. not sure why my smiley face came out like that, maybe because I do a “nose” when I type them. It should be like this– :) lol
53. Shelley | November 2nd, 2009 at 2:23 pm
I found the website, bought the book and have been absolutely thrilled with all of the recipes. Yours is my favorite vegan cookbook. The recipes are wonderful!
54. Tamar | December 20th, 2009 at 6:23 am
After years of being tempted into a vegan lifestyle I have finally taken the plunge and I couldn’t be more eager, I also couldn’t be more inspired by VeganYumYum which is probably the best site I have come across. It is simple to navigate, look around, and the recipes are well written and easy to follow. Thank you, thank you, thank you …
55. Pamela Rice | December 23rd, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Hi: I’m so happy to have discovered your vegan Alfredo sauce. FYI: I cut back on the mustard and garlic, though (my preference). I will try those roasted peppers next time I make a batch… Very cool to see you with Martha. You were tremendously poised on national TV. Peas…

Vegan YUM YUM, and you’re not joking!
So glad I’ve found this blog, so inspiring. I’ve been vegan for years and love cooking, but I’m going to get so much from here.
Fantastic!
59. Jennifer | March 29th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
I need your help!
Can you show a picture tutorial on how to prepare tofu? As a newly devoted vegan, I have been trying to follow your recipes, however, I only seem to make tofu disasters or slimy tofu dishes where the tofu has disintegrated into a flavorless mush.
The main reason i love your cookbook is because you show every recipe with a picture. That really helps alot!
60. Amy | April 28th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
I just had to come here and tell you how awesome I think you are! I’m breastfeeding my son who is allergic to SO many things – dairy, eggs, tomato, avocado, pears…the list goes on. I’ve had to become pretty creative with my diet to stay satisfied and at the same time meet our nutritional needs. For the first two months I pretty much stuck to a whole foods diet – fruit, veggies and meat. But I quickly realized I wasn’t going to survive on that diet alone. I need something decadent every once in a while! So I started searching for vegan products and recipes, since I could be confident that they’re dairy and egg free. Wow…really…wow!!! You are inspired! I actually got my husband to not just eat but ENJOY tofu (sweet chili lime). And your alfredo recipe…I didn’t think anything would satisfy my craving for cheese. I really thought it’d be there until I stopped breastfeeding and then I’d lock myself in a room with 10 packages of polly-o mozzerella and not come out until they were all gone. That is no longer a concern! And the potato/leek soup! I mean, recipies don’t get any easier than that but it is SO delicious! I truly can’t wait to try more.
I pray that my son will grow out of his allergies but I will never grow tired of the delicious recipes I’ve found in your cookbook, Thank you for making this experience so much easier for me. Breastfeeding moms often feel isolated and think they have to sacrifice their freedom to breastfeed thier babies. I never felt they way. I love it. And I know I’m doing the best thing for him by breastfeeding him. But not eating cheese, or butter, or an omlette…I really started questioning how I was going to get through this. Now that I found your book I can get back to enjoying breastfeeding my son without feeling like I’m sacrificing anything to do it. Thank you!
61. Fran Rosenbluh | June 23rd, 2010 at 6:12 pm
I am in awe of your creationsl They are fantastic. I am seriously considering becoming a vegan and this site and your book are helping me in that direction. You are very talented.
62. c lipsig | June 25th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
hi lalo!
spent two hours on the floor of borders trying to decide which vegan cookbook i wanted to try… yours was my favorite. thank you for the pictures!!!!! when cooking in a new realm it is always more inspiring to have pictures… it helps visualize what you are doing, ya know. i have serious carnivores in my residences so i am getting whining, whimpering and so on but so far i have loved everything i have tried. my husband loved the cheezy toast with kale. he ate three (big compliment). thank you for making a beautiful and inspiring (fun to read too) cookbook for us non vegan but still globally minded folks
63. Nocturne Prince | July 3rd, 2010 at 11:52 pm

The pics are great! It’s great to see some instructions along with the great recipes. The recipe with seitan and teriyaki sauce you made is something I would really love.
I have been wondering what to do with seitan.
Thanks for the recipe idea!
66. Nita Ruggiero | July 20th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
i have to tell you that I after finding your blog a few months ago, I bought your cookbook and it is wonderful. Some of the best vegan foods I have ever tasted have come from this blog and your cookbook – prepared in my own kitchen. You are an extremely talented and gifted cook. Don’t let the negative people of this world make you forget that. You gave your time freely to many people and are more than likely responsible for leading a lot of people to veganism and in doing so, made the world a better place. Thank you for your time and efforts.

Hello Lolo!
I am a nun and a chef at our Retreat facility for our Community on Cape Cod.

Your site is charming, and your pictures are inspirational!! All of your recipes makes me want to jump into the kitchen and start cooking!
If you would ever consider donating a copy of your cookbook to us for use at our Convent and Retreat kitchen, we would absolutely love it.
Keep up the good work, inspiring people to eat healthy with beautiful and tasty food ! If you are ever on the Cape, please stop by to visit us!

I love your book and blog. I was at Barnes and Noble looking thru the Vegan cookbooks when I saw yours.
I read a bit of it and saw that it had some tasty looking recipes. I bought it and went home and made the Macaroni and Cheese.
I have been a Vegan for 2 1/2 months and am tired of just beans and plain tasting food.
I ate three bowls of the Mac and Cheese before I could stop. It is so tasty. Thank you so much. I think I can do this Vegan diet now with your book and blog. I have to do it for health reasons. I’m 72 and it’s hard to change. Thank you a million times. Pattsy ps I found your blog in your book.

Hi!
I did not find out how to comment on your post so I ask you here instead; I love your recipie of spicy lemon pepper pasta with broccoli! I am trying to inspire my friends to go vegan and would like to share this recipie on facebook. Would you mind if I translate it into Norwegian, change the unit of measurement to litres and decilitres and suggest some alternative ingrediences which is more easy accessible while linking to your blog?
Thank you very much for posting and sharing your recipies! :-)
Best regards Therese, vegan in Norway
104. Patricias | November 4th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
I posted this on your Facebook page as well – but thought it really belonged here :
Was browsing through your book at a book store and could not put it down :) I love how every recipe is “presented” and how you included pictures for everything! Beautiful work! I had to buy it! :)
Thank you !
105. Leslie Royal | November 13th, 2011 at 9:48 pm
