Trade Review"With this cookbook, Magid upends many conventional recipes, and she offers recipes that promise attractive organic desserts... Her greatest contribution is a handful of cookie and cupcake recipes specifically designed to discourage children's overconsumption of ubiquitous, industrial, mass-produced sweets." -- Booklist "There's nothing crunchy about these stylish desserts." -- New York Times "Magid attempts to re-invent the way we think about organic baked goods. Instead of dense, bland nut loaves, she offers Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese-Lemon Zest Frosting, Double Ginger Cookies, and Goldies, her organic take on Twinkies. Magid's style combines vivid colors, delicate details, and a serious dose of whimsy." -- Epicurious.com "Organic and Chic is bound to change the way you think about organic baking. [Magid's] innate sense of style shines through in all her confections, from a super-sophisticated Lotus Cake...to vegan Double Ginger Cookies, and her organic twists on junk food, including irresistible gold-dusted 'Twinkies' and silver 'Ring-a-Dings.'" -- BookPage
