Review
"The icons of hip vegan cuisine tackle the heavyweight champ of American dessert: pie....Bursting with an 'anyone-can-do-this' approach and a defiant 'non-vegans-won't-be-able-to-tell-the-difference' attitude, they provide dozens of recipes for classic fruit pies, cobblers, crisps and cheesecakes. Vegan cooks can look forward to whipping up a pear and cranberry galette that will even have their carnivorous relatives scarfing down a second slice at the next family gathering....More than just a niche guide, this mouthwatering collection of desserts will satisfy even the most reluctant reader." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"Like their other publications, this comprehensive guide to pies contains smart, sassy recipes that embrace rather than work around the vegan diet....Expect demand for this book, which vegans will reach for as often as other bakers consult Ken Haedrich's Pie." Library Journal
