Update: Congratulations, Cathy, the winner of this giveaway! Cathy told us it was a challenge to write just one favorite pie, but decided on “coconut cream, when it’s not French Silk Chocolate:)”
Exactly one week from today—October 25—Cook without a Book: Meatless Meals
It wasn’t hard to decide this week’s recipe. On Saturday I attended Pie Party Live, a gathering of a scant one hundred food bloggers at Rodeo Bar and Grill in New York City. Entrance fee: one pie, savory or sweet. For a pie lover like me, it was heaven.
I checked the pre-party pie list and the bulk of offerings were sweet. Since the party started at noon, I took a savory turn making one of the vegetable galettes from Cook Without a Book: Meatless Meals.
It was a crisp fall day, and I had a head of cabbage in the vegetable bin and a butternut squash in the vegetable basket. I roasted them, along with an onion, to make Butternut Squash and Cabbage Galette. But as long as you’ve got pie dough you can make a galette whatever season you’re in with whatever vegetables you’ve got around.
It’s Monday, so let’s celebrate. In fact it’s the whole point of Cook Without a Book: Meatless Meals—to inspire us to eat less meat, better meat, and to help make our meatless days fun!
A couple of weeks ago I asked which meat or meaty dish would you have the most trouble giving up if you become vegetarian. I loved reading your responses! Bacon and burgers scored high.
This week’s question: What’s your favorite pie, savory or sweet? As usual, you’ve got until Wednesday night, October 19th and 9 PM ET to respond and we’ll announce the winner Thursday morning.
Your galette sounds lovely, but I love homemade cherry pie, made with cherries from the tree in my yard, above all other pies! Nothing compares.
Cherry cheesecake pie….Yum!!!
By far my favorite is cherry pie, especially one from Benzonia Michigan.
I LOVE apple pie, so under-rated! Also, lemon is right up there!!
I loved your cabbage and squash galette. It was delcious! I prefer savory over sweet, my favorite being quiche. But I brought 2 sweet kinds because of the travel factor.
Apple Apricot Crumb Pie with Sour Cream Custard … a gourmet twist on a fall favorite!
Raspberry cream pie, but rhubarb is a very close second!
One of our favorite dinners is a savory mushroom tart – it’s almost a pie, right?
Can’t wait for you book, my copy is already pre-ordered! 🙂
pumpkin pie! a close second: mixed berry pie.
It’s a toss-up between homemade chicken pot pie and rhubarb cream pie.
It would have to be pecan pie!
Cheesecake with strawberries on top!
Pecan!
Tough question… so many yummy pies to choose from. But I think I have to say its a Rhubarb Custard Pie that my Dad makes.
Cherry pie!
Oh goodness, I think my favorite pie is pumpkin, but I do love quiche too.
Sweet, I think? Homemade with not too much sugar, there’s hardly a sweet pie I’d pass on, but there’s a local joint has a quiche with absolutely the best crust I’ve ever tried 🙂
Grandma’s apple pie with apples we picked at the orchard. I miss that.
French apple….a la mode, of course!
key lime pie
Peanut Butter Pie!
Coconut cream would be my first choice and pecan would be second.
My favorite pie is blackberry. Love the flavor with homemade crust.
Pumpkin pie or anything chocolate.
Chocolate Pecan Pie
lemon meringue!
june berry pie. They’re also called saskatoon berries. It’s a cross between blueberry and raspberry-delicious.
Pumpkin Pie by far
Pecan PIE!
I love savory pies. One of my favorites is a double crusted pie made with ground beef in a tomato sauce and mixed vegetable mixture. Humble, but it’s comfort food for me.
My favorite savory pie is chicken pot pie. With sweet pies, my favorite just depends on my mood. The only kind I don’t really like is pecan pie.
Apple Pie, that’s the best!
Sweet, but not too sweet – rhubarb or blueberry, with minimal sugar to keep the fruit flavor shining through!
This book is high on my wish list, especially being a vegetarian! My favorite pie is pecan pie- I’m kind of picky about my pecan pies but a good one is to die for!
Chocolate Chess Pie
My favorite is vegetable pot pie. Do you have a delicious version in your new cookbook? : )
Hmmmm…sweet–definitely cherry; savory–definitely a good old fashioned chicken pot pie. Look forward to your new book and trying out the recipes. We try to do meatless/vegetarian dishes several times each week. I think it would be a great resource! Thanks for the giveaway!
key lime. hands down favorite. thanks for another great giveaway!
Quiche! Quiche! Quiche!!!!
I think quiche is my favorite food….Bacon & onion quiche being my favorite quiche!
blueberry brandy cheesecake!
Cherry Pie (a la mode!)
Blueberry pie
Cream pies (coconut, chocolate, lemon) with meringue.
This looks so yummy! I love savory pies, my favorite being a tomato pie. Love your site!!!
