Easy as Vegan Pie: One-of-a-Kind Sweet and Savory Slices Paperback – Import, 6 November 2018

We'd borrowed this book before buying, so we knew it would be awesome. Dear LifeMate loves making pies!

I have this book plus Hannah’s other two books - Vegan Desserts & Vegan a la mode, all 3 are fabulous books. Some of the ice-creams in a la mode are swoon worthy. I was sorry to see that someone had given such a bad review of this book here and felt I had redress the balance. I am Home Economist who specialised in food, cooking, teaching, demonstrating and healthy diet for over 40 years; I have run a small catering business and also a small cook school both from my home. Earlier this year I have completed the Rouxbe online professional Plant-Based Certification course and am also taking Fran Costigan’s Essential Vegan Desserts Course on the same Rouxbe platform. My husband & I are both vegans. So I have much experience with food, cooking and especially vegan cooking.I think there are some outstanding recipes in this book, some examples which I recommend are the Caramel Macadamia Crumb Tart, Apricotta Tart, Strawberry Streusel Pie – see photos. I think every pie has a photograph as I recall. Ok, yes, the recipes printed on the coloured background are not my cup of tea, rather garish perhaps would describe this, they might also be described as rather dated looking as the other reviewer here has mentioned, but this in no way affects the recipe content & results you will get from them, which are excellent.There is a good description of what ingredients might be required & all about them, also tools of the trade, essential techniques, troubleshooting; this is followed by crusts & pastries before we get to all the yummy recipes, mainly sweet with some savoury towards the end of the book. There is a lot contained in this small sized book. I also recommend Hannah’s other books. The Figgy Pudding Pie is my go-to Christmas pudding dish. I do hope my review makes you think of this book as a value for money purchase. I came here to get another copy of this book to give to a friend and found one solitary review giving only 1*, this made me very sad- I give it 5* - 280 pages of coloured plates is not to be sneezed at for £9.10, never mind the fab recipes.

I've had this book for several years, but I only do a lot of baking in the fall, especially when I bake things like pies. Every recipe I've tried from this book has been a success, and loved by omnis as well as fellow vegans. There are recipes for crusts, sauces and other accompaniments, cream pies, frozen pies, nut pies, fruit pies, miscellaneous pies, and savory pies. Favorites have been the speculoos pumpkin pie, which makes a classic holiday dessert extra special, and the Thanksgiving quiche, which combines turkey, potatoes, and a medley of vegetables into a tasty breakfast or brunch dish.

Have made serveral of these all big hits.

the recipes are complicated, but even worst the book is disturbingly ugly. no aesthetics, horrible font types and otherwise nice pictures pasted on ridiculous colorful backgrounds, like a '90s website. very disappointed.
