Thanksgiving Carrot Pie with Pecan Crust

Pumpkins aren’t the only vegetables that can be transformed into custard pies. You can make custard pies with all sort of squashes and root vegetables. My family even makes a killer zucchini custard pie every summer. This Thanksgiving Carrot Pie with Pecan Crust from Joshua McFadden’s Six Seasons has been a family favorite for Thanksgiving the last several years. The color is a bright, almost neon orange. If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving in the backyard like us for social distancing, this pie looks radiant in the Southern California sunshine. The custard is rich and flavorful, and the pecan crust adds a toasty, comforting complexity.

Hi. I'm Kate.

I’ve been a vegetarian for 27 years, and come from a family who are passionate about cooking and collecting cookbooks. My 8.5 years living in China broadened my cooking range, as I was often cooking with Chinese friends and their families in their homes across the country. Cooking is a joy, a way to evoke memories of friends and places.
