Compassionate Kitchen is a vegan, organic, and sustainable pantry staples brand. All of our products are vegan certified, USDA certified organic, and sustainably packaged. We only use clean, limited ingredients like unbleached and unbromated 100% whole grain wheat flour. About Us Food With a Conscience Compassionate Kitchen began when Jessica was pregnant with our daughter. We were thinking about the kind of world she would inherit and what responsibility we had in shaping it. Food felt like the most immediate place to begin. With Jessica’s background in environmental science, law, and food policy - and years spent organizing communities around healthier, more just food systems - we knew we couldn’t cut corners. We committed to using certified organic ingredients and to holding ourselves to clear, transparent standards. We’ve pursued vegan certification and invested in environmentally responsible packaging, even when it significantly increases our costs, because those choices reflect who we are, not just what we sell. Because this isn’t just a product line. It’s a reflection of how we live and what we believe. We’re a family-run company. In the beginning, we thought big - broad distribution, wide reach - but when we found our community in Asheville, we brought it closer to home. We focus on sourcing and producing as locally as possible, building relationships face to face, and growing in a way that strengthens the place we live. We believe strong companies are built on conscience. Food with a conscience. Care over convenience. Integrity baked in. We’re building the kind of company we hope our daughter grows up seeing as the norm- one where responsibility isn’t optional, community matters, and doing the right thing isn’t negotiable. Meet Jon & Jessica Hi, we’re Jessica and Jon Crane - the husband-and-wife team behind Compassionate Kitchen. We’re both deeply rooted in the Southeast. Jessica was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, and Jon spent most of his childhood there before life carried us in a few different directions. After years of living and working in various parts of the country, we found ourselves drawn back to the mountains of Western North Carolina - the place that has always felt a bit like home. Our journey began with a simple but powerful belief: food should be kind - kind to animals, kind to the planet, and kind to the people gathered around the table. Over the years, as we cooked, baked, and through learning and education, we began to see how deeply food connects to everything - our health, our communities, and the world our children will inherit. We kept coming back to one question: why should anyone feel like they’re “missing out” just because they choose plant-based? Comfort food is emotional. It holds memory and craving and tradition. And we believe no one should have to harm an animal to experience that warmth. There are so many good, healthy, truly scrumptious alternatives - flaky biscuits, tender cakes, warm pancakes - made entirely from plants. So, our mission became beautifully simple: recreate the foods we grew up loving, just a little healthier, a little kinder, and always rooted in compassion.

< Back Pot Pie Prep Time: 35 Minutes Cook Time: 45-50 Minutes Level: Adventurous About the Recipe Comfort food at its finest, this vegan, organic pot pie is crafted with our Biscuit & Baking Mix, creating a perfectly flaky crust that pairs beautifully with a hearty vegetable filling. Simple to prepare and made with wholesome ingredients, this pot pie brings warmth and satisfaction to every bite. Ingredients Pie Crust 3 cups Biscuit & Baking Mix 1/2 cup of vegan butter 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (tbsp) of vegan milk Filling 1 medium onion 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic minced 1 bag frozen veg (about 3 cups) 12 oz cubed tofu (½ cubes) 2 cups veggie broth 1 cup milk 4 tablespoons of Biscuit & Baking Mix. Salt and Pepper to taste Pepper to taste Preparation Step 1 Preheat oven to 375 °F Step 2 Prepare the Pie Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the Biscuit & Baking Mix with the vegan butter . Use the back of a fork to mash the butter into the mix until the largest pieces are pea-sized. Add the vegan milk and mix gently until the dough starts to come together into a rough ball. Lightly knead the dough for 1–2 minutes, just until it forms a cohesive ball. * Pro Tip: Avoid over-kneading to keep the crust flaky. Cover the dough and set it aside while you prepare the filling. Step 3 Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. * If you like your tofu a bit crispier you can pan fry it for a few minutes with the garlic and onions. Add the frozen vegetables, vegan milk, and vegetable stock. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, stir in the tofu. Return to a simmer and let it cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Sprinkle in 4 tablespoons of Biscuit & Baking Mix and stir well. Let it simmer for a few more minutes until the filling starts to thicken. Cover the skillet, remove it from the heat, and set the filling aside. Step 4 Assemble the Pot Pie: Divide the dough into two portions: *Make one portion about 10% larger than the other (this will be the bottom crust). Roll out the larger dough ball into a 15-inch circle. Carefully place it into a 9-inch pie pan , letting the edges hang over slightly. Roll out the smaller dough ball into an 11-inch circle for the top crust. Pour the prepared filling into the pie pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the smaller dough circle on top. Press the edges of the top and bottom crusts together and crimp them using your fingers or a fork to seal. Use a knife to cut four slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Step 5 Bake the Pot Pie: Loosely tent the pie with foil to prevent the crust from browning too quickly. Place in the center of the preheated oven (375 °F). Bake for 45 minutes , removing the foil for the last 10 minutes to allow the crust to become golden brown. Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set. Previous Next

Step 3 Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each one into a disc about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick . Transfer the discs onto parchment paper for easier handling. Carefully place them onto the preheated pizza stone, cast iron pan, or baking sheet, and bake for 8–10 minute s, or until you see browning. * For softer flatbreads, roll the dough slightly thicker and reduce the baking time. For crispier flatbreads, roll it thinner and bake a little longer. Step 4 Remove from oven and place on a wire rack and then cover with a dishcloth to keep them chewy without the bottom getting soggy. Repeat for remaining flatbreads. *Optional: After each flatbread is removed from the oven, brush lightly with olive oil and add any toppings (e.g., herbs, garlic, or seeds), or keep them plain for wraps or dipping. Step 5 Serve warm and enjoy! *Store in an airtight container to keep them soft. Previous Next

< Back Biscuits- Just Add Water! Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 10-14 Minutes Serves: 8 Biscuits (2 3/4 size) Level: Quick & Easy About the Recipe Our Everyday Mix makes it easy to bake warm, fluffy, plant-based biscuits with just water - no butter, milk, or extra ingredients needed.

This mix is designed for simplicity and flexibility. Enjoy it as-is for easy, everyday biscuits, or customize to your taste by adding a spoonful of ground flax for extra nutrition or a touch of sugar if you prefer a slightly sweeter biscuit. Unlike our Biscuit & Baking Mix, which uses oil and plant-based milk to create classic flaky, layered biscuits, the Everyday Mix offers a lighter, quicker option that’s perfect for busy days. Serve these biscuits alongside soups and stews, build quick breakfast sandwiches, or enjoy them warm with jam or gravy. Like all Compassionate Kitchen mixes, it’s thoughtfully crafted with clean ingredients and sustainability in mind - so you can bake something quick and delicious anytime.

< Back Pie Crust Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 45 Minutes Level: Quick & Easy About the Recipe Create the perfect flaky pie crust with our Biscuit & Baking Mix. This melt-in-your-mouth pie shell is easy to prepare and adds a light, buttery texture to any filling, making it an ideal base for both sweet and savory pies Ingredients 1 1/2 cups Biscuit & Baking Mix 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup vegan butter, cold and cut into cubes 4 tablespoon ice water Preparation Step 1 Make sure your vegan butter is very cold . Refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before starting. Step 2 Add Biscuit & Baking Mix, sugar, and salt to a food processor or a large mixing bowl (if doing by hand). Pulse or whisk to mix. Step 3 Add cold butter: Food Processor: Add the cold vegan butter and pulse for about 10 seconds, until the mixture resembles small balls. By Hand: Add the cold butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it in until the mixture looks like small balls. Step 4 Slowly pour in the ice-cold water , adding more or less as needed until the dough begins to clump together. Step 5 Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a ball, avoiding over-handling. Step 6 Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle and carefully transfer it to a pie plate, rolling it around a rolling pin if needed. Step 7 Gently press the dough into the pie plate (you can pinch the rim or use a fork to press down the edges). Trim the excess and repair edges as needed using water. Poke holes in the bottom using a fork to release steam so bubbling won't occur. Step 8 The pie crust is ready to use immediately, or you can freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
