Vegan Wins National Pie Championship
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 2nd, 2011 in Food & Drink, Recipes.
Susan Asato has taken home second place in the 2011 National Pie Championsh, an annual competition sponsored by the American Pie Council.
Asato won the judges’ taste buds with her Vegan Blueberry-Cranberry Pie with Pecan Streusel Topping.
Asato’s partner, Ryan Takakawa, has written a loving piece about her on the Native Foods Cafe blog.
Susan’s not very competitive or outgoing; she’s actually quite shy. She puts herself out there for just one reason – her love of animals. Many of the people she meets at these competitions aren’t even sure what “vegan” means. And when they find out, some are skeptical, as they can’t believe something could taste good without things like butter or eggs or cream. But when they taste her food, and more over, see that her vegan creations are winning awards against non-vegan competition, she hopes that it might help open their minds toward more compassionate choices in the food they eat.
What would an article about a winning vegan pie be without a winning recipe?
The secrets to Asato’s delicious dessert, including Earth Balance vegan butter, Tapioca flour and rolled oats, can be found at Native Foods.
