I love how passionate you are about cooking. It really is inspirational. Plus I love how committed and confident you are about your recipes. For me, that is really important when I am looking for recipes online. I am definitely going to try out many of your recipes. One question about this no-roll pie crust: What can I use as a substitute for the small amount of cream cheese? Thing is, in India cream cheese, believe it or not, is hard to come by, and also prohibitively expensive (because it is imported). Ridiculous, I know. So, what can I use as a substitute? Hi Joy

I cut the sugar down a bit and added caraway seeds, pepper and thyme to the crust dough. Unfortunately it's not really a meal that I can eat right now, but there were rave reviews around the table for the flavour overall and texture of the crust. One possible caveat, and this could be entirely down to user error (I have worked in a bakery, but I think I've made pie crust 2 times before in my life), is that the crust wasn't quite up to the task of holding together under a high pile of hot stew. Perhaps I didn't pat it down firmly enough when I was pre-baking and it just baked too light, or perhaps this recipe is best suited for set custard type pies, where the filling adds some structure and cohesion between the filling and crust. At any rate, I've copied this recipe down into my little pink book of elite recipes, and I cant wait till christmas when I commit to never buying pie crusts again, and make my original recipe for sweet potato pie and taste it against yours in a head to head battle! cheerio!
