 Delicious and practical! January 23, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I use this book often. You can mix and match the toppings (foccacia, phyllo, potatoes, pastry, rice, etc). Her fillings are delicious, if caloric. My young children especially love her recipes, which are traditional but innovative. For example, her scalloped potato and ham casserole is made with a quiche-like filling and topped with lots of gooey swiss cheese. Who wouldn't prefer that over the standard recipe? The beef stew with sage biscuits is a family favorite which I prepare in the crock pot. Each recipe I've tried has been successful. A great addition to your cookbook collection.
This book is good October 23, 2005
This book gives you more than the basic chicken pot pie, although that recipe is great. I didn't know that there were so many tasty ways to fix a pot pie; I love the variety in this book.
A great book, full of easy-to-make recipes March 18, 2003

This comfy cookbook is dedicated to that wonderful staple food, potpies! The first chapter is a handy set of instructions on setting up a pantry. After that, the fun really begins! There are four potpie chapters: chicken and turkey, meat (beef, pork and lamb), seafood, and vegetable. Potpies of every description are includes: all-American, Cajun, Mediterranean, SouthWest, and much more. What is nice, is that the recipes for crusts and contents are spelled out, which means that you can mix and match, or whatever.This is a great book, one that I am glad that we bought. So far, we?ve made Ryan?s Pie (p. 46), Beef Filets with Wild Mushroom and Maytag Blue Cheese Topping (p. 77), and (my personal favorite) Mom?s Beef Stew Topped with Sage Parmesan Biscuits (p.88). This is a great book, full of easy-to-make recipes; I highly recommend it!
The best cookbook I own! July 10, 2001

This is the by far the best cookbook I own, and I own at least 100 of them. I would give this more than five stars if that were possible. Every recipe I have made has been incredible and is fine to make for my husband and myself or fancy enough for guests. I love this cookbook and can't recommend it enough!
Easy yet Satisfying!!! March 17, 2001

Diane Phillips has written a masterpiece. I have tried 5 or 6 of the dishes so far...and all have been wonderful. I'm a single working mom who is usually in a time crunch. These pot pies are quick and easy. Diane makes the recipes easy to follow and the ingredients are easy to find. Anyone who can not make these dishes turn out must not spend too much time in the kitchen, and better stick to frozen food! I can't wait to get my hands on Diane's next book.
