Vegan Pie in the Sky: 75 Out-Of-This-World Recipes for Pies, Tarts, Cobblers, & More by Terry Hope Romero, Isa Chandra Moskowitz

4.0

I now have all three of these specialist vegan baking books. I started off with vegan cupcakes take over the world which in my gradual switch to a vegan diet has allowed me to see that veganizing my vast amount of dairy filled cupcake cookery books is now firmly do-able. I then bought vegan cookies invade your cookie jar and again I was not disappointed, not only are there some wonderful homely recipes but these books make you feel like converting to veganism will not be the end of your sugar filled life. This latest book focuses solely on pies and the main reason for us having wanted to buy it was because, lets face it, when you think of pastry and bakeries you think of butter, milk and eggs. I was puzzled with the concept of a decent pastry without the prior. Once again though the lovely Isa welcomes you into her vegan world and teaches you that to create wonderful apple filled latticed crusts, you do not need animal products. I love her for doing this. My boyfriend and I are slowly cutting dairy down and out of our lives and she has made me feel like not only will I not be missing out on anything but I am excited at the prospect of learning to cook in an entirely different fashion. The move to veganism no longer looks like a scary celery stick of doom but a warm fruit filling with a delicious butter free crust. Thank you for challenging the world of baking Isa, you are an actual real life vegan super hero.
