Pies, Pies, Pies!

This is the greatest Pie Book I have ever seen. Every pie I have made from this book has received rave reviews.

Awesome Pie book

The sheer number of pies in this book is amazing, I would give this five stars but the book is not all inclusive, which is a good thing. While many books go over the same recipes, this one assumes that you have already been exposed to most of the basic recipes, so if you see a classic in here it will be with a twist (Pumpkin pie with maple syrup). Tastey and fun.

LOVE

Most amazing book ever. Haven't come across a bad recipe yet. Have made probably 12 pies from this and all have gotten rave reviews. If you like pie, buy this.

I Love Pie!

I received this book a year ago as a gift; pies are my favorite dessert and I love to try new recipes. Overall I really like this cookbook, but I have two gripes. First, the index is not well done. Recipes are indexed by their name (ex: Aunt Marge's Apple Butter Pie), in many cases with no cross-reference of main ingredients (ex: Apple Butter). Having to remember the name of the actual recipe, rather than the main ingredient, is not very user-friendly. Oh, and six pages of the index are for the listing of "Pie" - um, the name of the cookbook is Pie so aren't all the recipes for pie?

My second gripe is the way the author indicates baking temperature. In many of the pies, he recommends par-baking the crust, and this is part of the recipe instructions (referring the reader to an early page about the process). The instructions then continue with the pie itself, presuming the oven is at the temperature used for the par-baking, yet that temperature is not listed on the recipe page. If the filled pie is to be baked at a different temperature then the new temp is given, but if not and you didn't immediately pre-bake the crust, you have to go back to the pie crust page to find the temperature.

That said, I do like this cookbook and have found many new recipes in this book and its array of all types of pies (fruit, nut, cream, custard, you name it!).
