Pecan Pie


Cookbook * Millennium Cookbook: Extraordinary Vegetarian Cuisine
Recipe * Pecan Pie (filling only)
Yumm or Yuck? * Yuck

This was my first attempt at a vegan pecan pie, which made its failure that much more of a bummer. The filling was dry, crumbly, and a bit too salty and not nearly sweet enough. Think a pecan praline of sorts in a pie shell. I used a frozen pie shell, so I can't comment on the cookbook's pie crust recipe. I might try Real Food Daily's recipe next. Or, maybe I'll just tinker around with my Mema's pecan pie recipe - according to Southern tradition, pecan pie isn't pecan pie without Karo syrup anyway.

Hi Cookbook Tester!
I love your blog. A few issues ago (maybe about 1 year?) VegNews had a pecan pie recipe that looked really good. I haven't tried it yet, but I have tried the crust (made with barley flour) - and it's great.

I haven't tried this pecan pie recipe myself, but I've made several of Bryanna's other recipes and they are always reliable and delicious!
