Like many, I may claim to be adventurous about food, drinks, condiments and above all desserts, but when it comes down to it, things like flavored mayo (and mayo in general) and multi-flavored soy milk are a bit off-putting.The joy of soy

I love the word flapjack. It's one I often forget about as I grew up knowing griddle-cooked rounds of batter as pancakes, but every time I hear it, my ears perk up. It has an old-fashioned ring that appeals to my inner pioneer girl. I believe that life would be better if there were more flapjacks involved.
I particularly like this picture of Elana's dairy-free flapjacks, as she has captured the batter in action and you can nearly feel the heat of that grill (such a nice, well-seasoned grill!). As luck would have it, the recipe is also available on her blog, so if this picture makes you crave a nice stack of flapjacks, you have immediate recourse.
Thanks Elana, for adding your photo to the Slashfood Flickr pool!
Vice Cream: Over 70 Sinfully Delicious Dairy-Free Delights, Cookbook of the Day
I have had good luck when I have tried my hand at making dairy-free ice creams in the past, so the idea of a whole cookbook devoted to them is appealing, if for no other reason than it would expand my dessert horizons. Vice Cream: Over 70 Sinfully Delicious Dairy-Free Delights is full of wonderfully creamy and creative desserts that are all vegan and suitable for anyone with lactose/dairy intolerance. There is even a selection of completely raw recipes, which you probably won't find anywhere else.
Many cookbooks that focus on specific dietary requirements also cast an eye towards health conscious recipes, which is not the priority in this book. The recipes here are intended to be at least as rich as "real" ice cream and just as satisfying by using ingredients like maple syrup, agave nectar, peanut butter, raw cashews and fresh fruits. The Vice Cream lineup features Chocolate Chip, Mint Carob Chip, Strawberry, Blueberry, Black Forest, Peanut Butter and Apple Strudel. The majority of the recipes are easy to prepare and have short ingredient lists, but you will definitely need an ice cream maker and something to blend all the vice cream bases together, like a food processor or blender. Top each serving of the finished product off with one of the topping recipes at the back of the book and you will have a dessert worthy of the description "sinfully delicious"
