Review: Best pie making cookbook! - This book is the quintessential guide to making pie dough with delicious recipes included. The instructions are easy to follow and really get into the differences between butter, lard and combinations of both. It’s a wonderful way to get started in the wonderful world of homemade pies!
Review: Best pie book on the market! - Most comprehensive book on pie I've ever read! It's well laid out, tells a great story and give unbelievable amounts of info on how to make the perfect crust. It contains recipes for all kinds of pies even savory pies. The pictures are great and show a wide variety of pies with lattice tops, decorated top crusts and different shapes such as square pies! This woman truly knows the art of pie making and the book is aptly named. I'm not big on recipe books per se, because I can get any recipe off the net, but this book is worth the money! I've been making pies for 40 years and they've been decent, but after reading this book, I just made the flakiest crust I think I've ever made!! This book is a keeper!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cold ingredients
*by L***T on February 27, 2021*

My book arrived 24 hours ago and is already dog eared . My best pies are when I don’t manipulate the flour very long, all ingredients are cold , and I am only making the pie and not juggling all my other home chores . With each recipe you learn a technique, a helpful hint, and why baking is a chemistry lesson . I have skipped around reading the enclosed recipes finding the blueberry pie to be a classic recipe. . Tapioca is better as a binder than flour in a blueberry pie . Maine blueberries are tiny morsels of flavor and make the best blueberry pies . My first lemon meringue pie failed horribly . I realized ten minutes into cooking the filling I forgot the sugar . I should have tossed the filling but thought I could add the sugar at this late stage . I personally think lemon meringue to be the hardest pie to bake . I make an unbelievable good apple, peach and blueberry pie . I suck at lemon meringue but will again give it a whirl now knowing a few helpful hints . I am a fan of this “ art of the pie” . Bravo !
