Best books to learn Vegan baking, in order

Vegan baking is applied chemistry: eggs and butter do structural jobs, so the reading order teaches what those ingredients accomplish and how plant-based swaps replace binding, leavening, and richness. Grasping that science before recipes lets you understand why a cake sets or a cookie spreads, so you can adapt and troubleshoot rather than mechanically following formulas that fail without explanation.
