Living Without

"Gluten-free and vegan baking expert Katzinger (Flying Apron's Gluten-Free & Vegan Baking Book) returns with a new assortment of pies, just in time for holidays and festive occasions. Drawing inspiration from Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero's Vegan Pie in the Sky: 75 Out-of-This-World Recipes for Pies, Tarts, Cobblers, and More, a similarly compact paperback, Katzinger presents a breadth of pastry doughs, press-in crusts, and sweet and savory fillings that can be used to make pies, turnovers, cobblers, crisps, galettes, tarts, and more. Recipes call for ingredients such as agar, arrowroot, coconut oil, and brown rice flour, with which most gluten-free and vegan bakers will be familiar. -VERDICT Highly recommended for gluten-free baking collections."
Library Journal

"One of the most wonderful things about a pie, I think, is how it can be a showcase for gloriously ripe fruits and vegetables. Jennifer Katzinger seems to agree, and her new cookbook Gluten-Free & Vegan Pie is a lovely collection of seasonally-focused recipes. Not to mention 16 different gluten-free and vegan crust recipes!"
The Kitchn

"Jennifer Katzinger's 'Gluten-Free & Vegan Pie' stands out with its mix of sweet and savory pies, all made without dairy, eggs, gluten or animal products. Chocolate is always a crowd-pleaser at holiday gatherings, and her Chocolate Espresso Tart features it in both the filling and the crust. Talk about decadent!"
The Oregonian

..".the two [recipes] I made from Jennifer Katzinger's Gluten-Free & Vegan Pie, were right up there at the top of the list... The [Chocolate Cream Pie] end result was a gorgeous pie with an unbelievable texture and taste. It was creamy, rich and celestially light, but not too sweet--a very adult bittersweet chocolate flavor. Sensational, really. I was so glad to be sharing it with a roomful of people, because it was the sort of ethereal confection that magically disappears into one's mouth."
Andrea's Easy Vegan Cooking

"Acknowledging that a good, flaky crust is any pie's crowning glory, Katzinger, former owner of Seattle's Flying Apron GF-vegan bakery, offers twelve (!) pie crust recipes, plus four more for savory pies, that contain no wheat flour, eggs, butter, cream, or lard--an impressive feat. I also love that she uses less-refined sugars in minimal amounts, letting the fruit and other ingredients shine. Terrific photos and friendly tone."

Train Vegan

"Jennifer Katzinger's Gluten-Free & Vegan Pie is a beautifully photographed instruction manual for pie-making. Unlike some other pastry books Pie doesn't intimidate with complex decorating, it focuses on the basics and provides some very helpful advice regarding the construction of your pies. If that sounds like a backhanded compliment it isn't! Gluten-Free & Vegan Pie imparts the skills and recipes for making delicious pies while remaining genuine and simple in its methods. If you're already a wizard with hand-pies and lattice-style crusts you'll be content with the recipes, but if you're as clumsy as I am with dough you'll appreciate the tips and tricks provided and their straightforward presentation."
