I just use water, no boullion cubes, but otherwise I'm faithful.

I love that you've had that recipe for so long. It makes me think of this great Edible Radio podcast interview I listened to last night with Amanda Hesser, who edited the NYT cookbook: http://www.ediblecommunities.com/radio/kitchen-syn... ( http://www.ediblecommunities.com/radio/kitchen-syn... )

Next weekend is Apple Pie Weekend. I kind of dread it because apple pie has been my nemesis. So I'm going to power through with lots of different pies. Definitely trying yours. Thank you!

I have Apple Pie Weekend coming up next week and will try it out! Thank you!

I know, that meringue is fascinating.

I love savory pie! Thanks!

The tofu-cauliflower pie I made was pretty good, though the caramelized onions were very sweet. I might up the ratio of "nooch" (I had never heard that term for nutritional yeast before this, ha) in the tofu-onion mixture to keep it on the savory side next time.

Also love those old recipes that you hang onto forever. I have one single page from an old Sunset vegetarian cookbook with the recipe for Lemony Lentil Soup with chard -- one of the first things I ever decided I liked and wanted to cook, around 1983.

Is an old one for Tofu Pot Pie pulled from a PETA mailer back in the late 80s. It's the first time I ever bought and use nutritional yeast...which is now a regular ingredient just about every time I cook something warm and savory. I posted the full receipt a couple of years ago, and you can find it here: Tofu Pot Pie ( http://workerbees.typepad.com/veggiegoesvegan/2008... ).

Thanks for linking to my apple pie post. It's a *great* pie - you'd never know it's vegan! Great list, too - I'm very intrigued by that meringue pie!

Hi Julie,

It was actually the first pie I've ever made so I don't have anything to compare it to re: how easy the dough was to work with. I managed OK, even though it came out a bit sloppy. The Tofutti cream cheese is what made it crazy good (I think it has sugar in it). I'm telling you. You will love this pie!

(I think.) And yours is a pretty pie, indeed.

Tofutti cream cheese in the crust recipe -- interesting. Was the crust easy to work with? I bet it held its shape well. I'm trying it. :)

Thank you Britt!

Thanks so much for this! It's been suprisingly difficult to find vegan pie recipes. One I made this summer that was *really* good was a Vegan Peach Pie Recipe from About.com: http://dairyfreecooking.about.com/od/piesandcobble...

Here's a photo of my pie (:
