Product description

From Publishers Weekly

No, that number's not a typo: here are 300 recipes for sweet pies, with fillings ranging from fruits to nuts, ice cream to custard. Haedrich, a cooking teacher and cookbook author (Apple Pie Perfect, etc.), shares an astonishing quantity of recipes, advice, pie history and musings on issues such as the butter vs. lard debate and his passion for sour cherries. His zeal and solid expertise make this book a worthy addition to the baker's bookshelf. There are 57 pages of information on pie crusts alone, but Haedrich's tone is clear and encouraging, as he addresses pie pans, rolling pins, pastry edges and more. The recipes range from All-Rhubarb Pie to more exotic offerings such as Watermelon Rind Pie and Carrot Custard Pie (Haedrich also includes 25 recipes for apple pie). Pie snobs, take note: each crust recipe gives instructions for making the pastry by hand, with an electric mixer or in a food processor. Similarly, Haedrich assures readers it's all right to use frozen fruit. Intrepid pie makers will be pleased with the recommendations throughout for other cookbooks and magazines, and the list of resources includes useful information on baker's catalogues, fruit farms and nut growers.

Very disappointed.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

All the pastry recipes are just a slight variation in proportion of ingredients and the method is the same producing almost identical pastry textures. These are a not very good shortcrust. In fact the pictures tell the story. Where do we find the puff pastries?
The pie content recipes may be OK for some but all I would need is a bit of imagination and the availability of seasonal fruits. From the evidence of this book the author would seem to be a self-appointed, not very knowledgeable, "expert".

comprehensive book for pie baking

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 9, 2014

massive book with lots of recipes and cooking advice, a little bare on pictures but that just leaves more space for pie! This, of course, is my go-to reference when I am in the mood to bake a pie.

Making pies can be "as easy as pie."

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 14, 2005

I've enjoyed the author's previous cookbooks, but this is definitely one of the best. His pie crust directions -the part most cooks find trickiest - are very clear and really work. I especially like the food processor instructions which enable you to produce an excellent pie crust in minutes. The recipes are delicious and include a wonderful variety. Today we're enjoying the Peanut Butter Cheesecake Pie with a Sour Cream-Brown Sugar topping, and it is every bit as delicious as it sounds. We've also had several of the fruit pies, and they were all very tasty. If you love pies, you'll want this book.

A truly American experience, this pie book is a staple for any baker. I've made dozens of pies from this book and every single one of them have been delightful. He gives cute anecdotes as well, making it an enjoyable read.

Great Book for Lovers of Pies

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on March 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

There are lots of tasty pie recipes to try in this informative book. It is clearly written with easy instructions and the only drawback is that your family and friends will start demanding that you make pies for them, too. It seems that everyone LOVES a home cooked pie 😃
