Vegan Pie in the Sky continues the vegan world domination mission of Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero by bringing dessert to a whole new level. In their third baking volume, you’ll find recipes for pies, tarts, cobblers, betties, and more—all made without dairy, eggs, or animal products. The innovative recipes range from old-fashioned classics like Mom’s Apple Pie to new trends like Salted Caramel Pecan Pie. From fruity to chocolaty, nutty to creamy, Vegan Pie in the Sky has it all. (Moskowitz and Romero will even tempt you to try pandowdy.)
A chapter on crusts reveals the secret to perfect traditional pastry crust made vegan, as well as nut-based, gluten-free, and chocolate-cookie variations. Luscious ice creams, toppings, and sauces make your pie a showstopper. With color photos and the authors’ irreverent commentary throughout, Vegan Pie in the Sky is the modern baker’s bible for pastry that is out of this world.
Terry Hope Romero, author and co-author of bestselling vegan cookbooks Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, and Viva Vegan!: Authentic Vegan Latina American Recipes has also presented informative and lively cooking demonstration and talks to hungry crowds at food festivals and conferences the world over, ranging from Paris, New York City, Boston, Toronto, and many more. Terry also contributes to VegNews (leading vegan lifestyle magazine) her Hot Urban Eats column. She also holds a certificate in Plant Based Nutrition from Cornell University.
