Vegan Vegetables It's been autumn for a mere few days now, and I'm already forsaking tomatoes and tender greens in favor of things that scream 'starch' and are best achieved by spending time in the oven. It's the time when kitchens start to transition from bright and succulent dishes to ones that provide carbohydrates and comfort. No doubt, some gene memories nudging us to start bulking up for the upcoming battle against the winter months' bleak fields and frigid temperatures. Gene memories seem unwilling to recognize indoor heating and the modern supermarket. They're smart.
Which leads me to perhaps the ultimate in comfort foods The pot pie The meat pot pie has a colorful if not cruel history. The ancient Romans were fond of flaky pies with live birds beneath the crust. Oy. By the time the dish drifted to America in the 19th century, the flavor of the day was robins. And I always thought that 'four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie' was a metaphor.
But for those who shun eating animal parts  not to mention live birds  there is no need to sacrifice pot pies! This recipe, adapted from a recipe for Chique Pot Pie on VegWeb provides all the warm, toasty comfort of a pot pie no chirping creatures required.
