 Great pie book January 14, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have only made two of the pies in this book so far -- the tarte tatin and the chocolate-mocha pudding banana pie -- but they were both fabulous. I have a lot of baking books and I bake a lot, and I have found the recipes to be simpler than many other pie-book recipes, but always delicious. I highly recommend it.

I am a semi-serious cook and I generally feel at ease with many kinds of food preparation. The great exception to this has always been pie making. I am not intimidated by pie fillings but I have always had a traumatic fear of pie crusts. My few early efforts at crust construction all ended in unmitigated catastrophe and I kept my distance from it for many long years. As fate would have it, I received this book as a present and it lay virtually unopened for several months until my daughter insisted I bake a pie for some school related purpose. I wept like a baby but could not escape this demand to bake a pie. Anyway, the clarity and detail of the crust-making instructions actually yielded the desired results, much to my amazement. The darkness has lifted and I can now see a future that includes baking pies.

This is a terrific book. The recipes are spot on and the writing is superbly crafted. It's a delight to have a cookbook co-written by a poet! The illustrations are what really seperate this book from others. They're delicately crafted with a real eye for depicting everything from peaches to a baby lamb. You have to see it to believe it. Oh, and the pies, once cooked, are amazing. Try the blueberry peach pie and send me a piece, I'm addicted to it!

I bought this book about 2 weeks ago and made my first recipe from it. Cranberry Pear with A Walnut Crumble. This pie rocks! Easy to follow instructions and a recipe that allows the ingredients to shine through without a lot of fussiness. Already, fielding calls asking for tips and advice. But I won't give up my pie secret! Great book!

I love this book! I think it would be great for bakers of all levels of experience. I'm a seasoned pie baker, but this book definitely inspired me to try recipes outside of my comfort zone, and I had great results. The instructions are clear, easy to follow, and they think of everything ahead of time so you aren't stuck in the middle of a recipe with a sudden daunting task. And the bonus? You get to have Bubby's Pies at home!! This is a book everyone should have in their kitchen.
