"Brilliant! All the childhood treats I'm nostalgic for in one smart volume. Toaster tarts, cereal bars, and ice cream sandwiches made from real ingredients? I'll take one of each, please." Heidi Swanson, author of Super Natural Everyday "Lara's book is a beautifully photographed selection of 'goûters' (snacks) that will make you want to rush into the kitchen and bake for your children, family, and friends. If you feel short of ideas to make healthful snacks (also gluten free and vegan), her book has the answer." Béa Peltre, La Tartine Gourmande "Real Snacks is a dream come true. We all know we should eat quinoa, kale, and carrots at every meal, but sometimes we need a treat. If that treat is made with whole grains and alternative sweeteners, all the better. Lara Ferroni's playful yet truly helpful book introduces readers to unfamiliar ingredients such as amaranth flour or coconut palm sugar in the midst of making moon pies, chocolate toffee bars, and crunchy cheese puffs. That so many of the recipes can be made gluten-free is a boon for those of us who have to avoid gluten entirely. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to make some nacho cheese tortilla chips."

This is the case with this book, Real Snacks: Make Your Favorite Childhood Treats Without All the Junk . This book is all about recreating childhood favorites in a healthier way with wholesome flours like spelt flour , buckwheat flour and whole wheat flour... All the recipes have a vegan and gluten-free version. I want to shout this part at the top of my lungs as this is all around awesome." Keren Brown, Frantic Foodie "Real Snacks is a dream come true.

Keren Brown, Frantic Foodie "I quite literally squealed with glee when I saw this new book by Lara Ferroni. She covers everything from how to make our own Thin Mint Cookies and yogurt-covered raisins to homemade Cheetos and tater tots. (Along with gluten-free and vegan versions of every single recipe . Hello!) The next chance I get, I'm headed straight to the kitchen with this book in hand." The Kitchn From the Trade Paperback edition.
