"Sweet Freedom" Ricki Heller
Ellen DeGeneres recently featured Ricki Heller‘s book, Sweet Freedom: Desserts You’ll Love Without Wheat, Eggs, Dairy or Refined Sugar, on her website.
When she’s not teaching or working as a part time cooking instructor and chef, this PhD in Modern American Literature blogs at dietdessertsndogs.
Although some might believe a vegan diet is exclusive, Heller believes its the only way of eating that can include the most people. Here’s what she’s has to say:
“Vegan food is more inclusive than non-vegan food. An omnivore can certainly join in on a vegan meal, but the opposite isn’t true. So presenting vegan recipes means presenting recipes anyone can enjoy.”
Desserts are the perfect example of vegan never leaving anyone out.
When was the last time you saw someone turn down a cupcake?
Some examples of Heller’s non dessert recipes, including veggie patties and kale and avocado salad, can be found here.

Well, thanks so much for mentioning my book’s appearance on Ellen’s page! I was absolutely delighted that Ellen enjoyed the book and the sweet treats, and now I get to be tickled all over again seeing it mentioned here. 🙂 It feels great to be serving healthy and cruelty-free treats to all kinds of people and seeing their faces light up when they realize they can enjoy delicious desserts without any animal products, wheat, or refined sugars. And you’re absolutely right: so far, nobody has turned down a cupcake!
