Title: Vegan Pie is to Die For
Review: I bought Vegan Pie in the Sky when it first came out, and I fell in love with it from the moment it arrived in the mail. Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero are a fantastic vegan duo, and create wonderful, mouth-watering recipes. I have all of the books they co-wrote together and all of their solo books and I have never found fault with their cooking/baking.Since pie is my hands down favorite dessert - really, I will choose pie over anything, cake, brownies, cookies, if given the choice I would eat pie, especially fruit pie for every dessert, without question. - I was extremely excited when this book was released. It's a cute little book with 75 recipes, and all the ones I've tried have been solid. The layout is lovely, the ingredients lists are short, the instructions are clear and everything is very clean and concise. The pages are free of clutter, but full of helpful and useful tips, and the book is overflowing with beautiful, mouth-watering photography. I also love the friendly, witty, conversational tone of the authors and their anecdotes. I like a little personality in my cookbooks, I like a little humor and humanity and Isa and Terry certainly deliver. They come across as being very down to earth, regular people and they're not pretentious like a lot of seasoned cookbook authors. I like that.As for the recipes themselves, all the ones I've made have been fantastic, I haven o complaints on flavor, texture or overall presentation. I typically make pies for the holiday seasons and so far all the pies I've made from this book have been a hit with myself, my husband and my omnivore family and friends. Nobody ever knows that the pies are vegan. I love that the pies in this book use a nice mix of ingredients that are easy to find, nothing to exotic except for maybe agar but if you're a vegan baker that likes to make cream pies or artisan vegan cheese then you already know all about agar. I am particularly grateful for the fact that the creamy pies in this book do not rely solely on tofu for their creaminess. Honestly tofu pies usually don't do it for me. While tofu works pretty well I also find that it has a gritty taste, and the flavor can be very bland. That's not to say that all tofu pies are bad, but I like the ingenuity of using cashews, and coconut milk - sometimes with tofu - for that creaminess. I find that using 2 or more different `creamy' ingredients provides better body, better texture, better flavor, and no aftertaste of anything in particular.Some things you may wish to consider before buying this book however is that it has no nutritional information - and why should it? It's a dessert book, but I know some people like nutritional info. The book uses sugar, and white flour - again it's a dessert book, and these are obvious but some people seem to confuse the word vegan with health, and this isn't always the case. The authors intention was to create creamy, and delicious vegan pies, not health food. Besides we're talking about a book about pie, if you couldn't already figure that out then perhaps you have a larger problem. Also many - but not all - of the recipes include nuts. The cream pie recipes especially use cashews, I personally love this but if you have a cashew allergy then you may be out of luck. Unless you're adept at adapting recipe's to suit an allergy then I suggest you avoid the book. Lastly, while I found all the pie crust recipes in this book to be delicious I did not find them particularly easy to work with. Perhaps this is my own problem, me and dough do not make a good team and I often have problems when working with dough. Isa and Terry include a ton of great suggestions on how to make proper pies and good dough, but there are at least a couple other pie dough recipes that I've had better luck with. Still I do make the crusts from this book often enough, if your dough tears a bit it's easy enough to patch up and place that patchwork on the bottom where nobody will see.The following are the recipes I've made from the book and what I thought of them.Buttery Double Crust - Loved itOlive Oil Double Crust - Loved itSingle (and loving it) Pastry Curst - Loved itChocolate Shortbread Tart Shell - Loved itGraham Cracker Crust - Regular, Chocolate, Vanilla and Cookie Crumb Variations - Loved Them AllShe's My Cherry Pie - Loved itBlackberry Bramble Pie - Loved itBasil Peach Pie - Loved itAppleberry Pie - Loved itChocolate Galaxy Banana Cheesecake - Loved itBlueberry Bliss Cheesecake - Loved itRaspberry Lime Rickey Cheesecake - Loved itKey Lime Pie - Loved itCoconut Cream Pie - Loved itCoconut Lime Cream Pie - Loved itCappuccino Mousse Pie - Loved itSweet Potato Brazil Nut Crunch Pie - Loved itVoluptuous Pumpkin Pie - Loved it - a favorite of minePumpkin Cheesecake - Pretty GoodGrasshopper Pie - Loved it!Old Fashioned Chocolate Pudding Pie - Loved itCafé Mocha Cheesecake - Loved itI think the recipes in this book are easy enough for a novice baker or a newbie vegan, and so I wouldn't hesitate to buy this book for a friend or recommend it to a friend or family member. All the pies I've made so far have been enjoyed by vegans and omni's alike, so it seems the perfect bridge to gap the divide. My only regret is that I haven't had the time to make more of the pies, but many of the pages of my copy are dog-eared so as I make more I'll be sure to update my review.

Title: Filled with humor and delicious goodness!
Review: Haven't tried making pie crust since I was a kid. My go-to apple pie recipe for years has been bottomless with a crumb topping (i.e. a crisp). Turns out it it's way easier than I thought to make flaky delicious goodness thanks to Isa & Terry walking me through it in their new book. I tried the blackberry bramble pie and it was amazing. Even the omnivores in my house thought it was really good and they're usually scared to try my food for fear of the "weird" ingredients.As usual, their guides at the beginning of the book address many of the potential pitfalls when baking. They list the essential tools as well as the nice-to-haves (and even the essentials have Macguyvered alternatives to keep your kitchen tools multitasking). Also as usual, Terry and Isa break down the complicated steps until they're feasible even for novice bakers. With just a basic pie crust recipe, they offer half a dozen options for edgings and tops, ranging from very simple to elaborate, most done with your fingers or basic cutlery and the occasional cookie cutter (no uni-taskers here!). They even describe two different techniques for a lattice top. The panel on adjusting for frozen fruit was particularly useful since it's not exactly berry season right now. Recipes that call for special techniques have the panel right there to make your life easier. There aren't a whole lot of exotic vegan ingredients (and those that are tend to be shelf-stable so you can stock up online) so it's fairly supermarket-friendly, even for those of us not living in the big city.Isa & Terry offer us 11 different recipes just for the crusts and they even do the math for you to adjust the cookie crusts for springform pans. They address two of the rising trends in piemaking -- vodka crusts and handpies -- without coming close to overwhelming the book with what may turn out to be fads. Even their standard pies have just a touch of something to surprise the palette. The recipes range from classic cherry, apple, and pumpkin to Pear Frangipane Tart and Curried Macaroon Pie. I will say that if you have allergies, you may want to check it out from the library or flip through it at the bookstore before deciding to buy it. There is a heavy reliance on cashews and tofu for the creamy pies (which are close to half the recipes) and they don't offer many alternatives. But with a little experimentation most of the rest can be made allergen-free.This book is packed with fruit pies, cobblers, crisps, and buckles. Tarts and pudding pies. A dozen different cheesecakes. An entire chapter filled with chocolate. And everything is flavored with their signature wit. Whether all you want are a couple reliable vegan recipes for the holidays, or to expand your baking repertoire, or to spend time in the kitchen fussing with fancy-looking desserts for your blog, this book has something for you.

Title: So many delicious pies!
Review: I was never a big fan of pie, but this book changed me. I think it's one of those things where you don't truly appreciate the essence of a food until you've had a really amazing version of it--and now that I've made 25 of the recipes in this book (as a recipe tester), I understand how delicious and impressive pie can be when it's not made with a storebought crust and filling from a can.There's a pie in here for everyone, but here are some of my personal favorites:Strawberries & Cream TartsManhattan Mud PieChocolate-Orange Hazelnut TartsCafe Mocha CheesecakeShe's My Cherry PieAs usual, Isa and Terry's instructions and baking tips make everything as simple as can be--I was even able to pull off a very cute, disaster-free lattice crust on my first try. I also love that most of the recipes are made with easy-to-find ingredients and nothing weird like vegan cream cheese, so you can feel like a pro for making each pie totally from scratch. If you have any interest in pies at all, especially vegan pies, this book is definitely the place to start.

Review: I had never before made a pie (or even a crust) in my life, and I have only recently gotten into baking within the last year and a half. Despite my inexperience, I was able to successfully produce a raspberry pie on my first try by using this book! The authors give a solid introduction to the different ingredients, equipment, and methods used to make pies, so that by the time I attempted to make my own pie I had all of their experience and advice to guide me!! In addition, the recipes in this book are absolutely divine and the pictures that accompany most recipes help get me excited to try something new!

Review: I got this book after I had tried Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, by the same authors, and found it very successful. Like its two counterparts, Vegan Pie in the Sky is full of great vegan recipes and advice. There are sections advising on ingredients, equipment, and technique, as well as metric conversion charts, useful for those who, like me, don't use the American systems of measurements and temperature.The book includes recipes for crusts, fillings, and even a few toppings. There are sections on fruit pies, cream pies, harvest pies, and chocolate pies. Many of the recipes have tips and some have variations. Whatever your taste in pies, you're sure to find something delicious to make.I have many bookmarks in my copy of the book and can recommend the Cosmos Apple Pie and the Lemon Mousse Pie as some of my favorites.If you want to try some sweet vegan pies, this is the book to get.
