Fran Costigan is an internationally recognized culinary instructor, author, consultant, recipe developer and innovative vegan pastry chef who marries healthy eating with sumptuous tastes. Fran’s second cookbook, More Great Good Dairy Free Desserts Naturally  , offers a complete course in exceptional desserts that are vegan by design, not by taste! Fran’s recipes call for organic minimally processed ingredients to make rich, moist cakes, flaky piecrusts, delightful cookies, puddings and more. All are trans fat and cholesterol free and absolutely delicious.
A graduate of the New York Restaurant School and the Natural Gourmet Institute, Fran was a pastry chef in both traditional and vegan kitchens. Today Fran teaches her distinctive courses (including her Vegan Baking Boot Camp Intensive ®) in New York City at the Institute of Culinary Education and at the Natural Gourmet Institute, and she presents demonstration classes and lectures at venues throughout the US, Canada and Europe.
Fran has made her celebrated "Chocolate Cake to Live For” on the Discovery Health Channel show, Get Fresh With Sara Snow, her Twinkies on ABC Nightline and on Delicious TV. Professional affiliations include the New York Women’s Culinary Alliance (NYWCA), International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP), and Women Chefs and Restaurateurs (WCR). Fran is an advisory board member of The New York Coalition for Healthy School Foods (NYCHSF).
Fran is at work on her third cookbook, Irresistible Chocolate Vegan Desserts: Unapologetically Delicious, Decadent, Dark, Organic and Fair, to be published by Running Press, fall 2013.
