Vegan Pie Heaven: 75 Deliciously Creative Recipes for Pies, Tarts, Cobblers, and More

M. Roth: 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.

M.F.: 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!

Özlem: Die Einleitung ist sehr gut geschrieben. Ausführliche Tipps und Tricks wie die einzelnen Rezepte am besten gelingen, eine Auflistung an Küchenutensilien, die einem die Arbeit erleichtern und viele inspirierende Rezepte. Die Rezepte sind nach Jahreszeiten (saisonale Früchte) aufgeteilt, das hat mir ziemlich gut gefallen. Man sollte schon vertraut sein mit amerikanischen Rezepten, Zutaten und Maßeinheiten, sonst muss man ziemlich viel nachschlagen. Entweder eine Tabelle ausdrucken oder Cups und Löffelmaßeinheiten bereithalten. Ich persönlich benutze immer weniger Zucker (meist 1/3 bis 1/4 der Angaben weniger) als in den Rezepten angegeben wird sonst ist es uns zu süß. Achtung, nur weil es vegane Rezepte sind, heißt es nicht dass sie auch gesund und vollwertig sind. Shortening kommt in den Zutaten häufig vor, ich verwende eine gute Margarine und es hat bisher immer gut geklappt. Bisher habe ich drei Rezepte ausprobiert und alle haben mich vom Geschmack überrascht. Absolut empfehlenswert, aber eher für erfahrene Bäcker.

Kyleigh: 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...

Amazon Customer: 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...

S. Willson: 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 Tarts
Manhattan Mud Pie
Chocolate-Orange Hazelnut Tarts
Cafe Mocha Cheesecake
She's My Cherry Pie

As 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.
