I made this tonight... no powder but I used veggie stock to simmer down the veggies and I added some rosemary, thyme, garlic powder.... I also just used a bag of frozen veggies in place of the frozen corn/peas - it's all good!

I'm not the hugest pot pie fan but this was good and I'll make it again when it's cold and I need some lead in me belly

Oh I made the crust out of brown rice flour and, as usual, it isn't a real crust, but it worked well enough to do it the same way next time.

I made this last night too. I also used veggie broth but s/h added the extra spices as YinYang did since mine was a little bland. I thickened the broth with a little flour prior to baking. I didn't have celery and used chick peas instead of seitan. I did a double crust because that was the way my father made it growing up and I always liked the crust underneath. It was good and easier than I expected.

I always makethis pot pie from Attila the Honey. I've gone to the trouble of frying up the tofu first like the recipe says, and the tofu's fabulous that way, but I don't think it really makes much difference to the finished pot pie, so I skip that step now and just use plain cubed tofu. (I do still fry tofu kind of like that to eat by itself sometimes, though!) This is by far my favorite pot pie, and without the fried tofu, it's really easy. Everyone who tries it says it tastes like the pot pies of their childhood (in a good way).

Rainyday: What crust recipe do you use? I plan to make the recipe you linked but it doesn't have a crust. I want to do a top and a bottom. I guess I might do vegandad's crust and multiply it by 2?

I just use the basic pie crust from Joy of Cooking:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoon shortening
Whir in food processor (or cut with pastry blender). Blend with water (recipe says 4 tablespoons, but I find it always needs more)

I think any crust would work, though!

Enjoy!

Thank you so much!!!

I made the recipe Raindyday posted for dinner tonight. It turned out fantastic! My husband proclaimed it the best vegan dish he'd ever had. And the best pot pie he'd ever had. He said he forgot it wasn't chicken. Yummy!!!

Great! I'm glad it turned out well for you! We absolutely love it over here. In fact, I think I might have to add it to the menu for the week!

From Veganomicon I love leek and bean cassoulet (sp?) and the cauliflower pot pie with black olive crust.
