Sheron Scott: It was in poor condition with the pages breaking away from the binding

L. DONOVAN: As usual, you can trust any cookbook that is published by America's Test Kitchen. They are the best. In each recipe they explain why it works and written and tips are given too.

Connie: This is the perfect pie cookbook. There's such a nice variety of recipes, even ones rarely seen in other cookbooks. The layout is easy to follow while preparing the ingredients. I get a sense of what the final pie will look like. All of the pies look so appetizing in the photographs, as the pictures were so nicely done.

Carly SCarly S: I decided to teach myself how to bake pies, and this book does not disappoint. I have made several recipes in this book, and have even gotten a "best pie I ever had!" compliment. The recipes are wonderful, but the book itself is lacking. A little over a year into owning it, chunks of pages started coming unglued and falling out. I'm not that hard on books; I have several other cookbooks I've had longer that are still in one piece. This book needs better binding!

Brian A. Curry: Great list of items

Comdet: I have very much enjoyed the other two books in this series (Cake and Cookies) and this is proving to be just as helpful and enjoyable as the others. In addition to some fantastic recipes, the book provides an excellent grounding in the 'why' and 'how' for all sorts of pie techniques. Add to that excellent illustrations, and this is a book that deserves a spot on any bakers shelf regardless of their skill or experience level.

All three volumes in this series are ones that I use almost every time I bake, and are also great to just read to learn about techniques. I would have loved to be able to get all three volumes in the series in a boxed set. Would have made a great gift item.

Five solid stars -- an excellent cookbook.

Claudio: America's Test Kitchen sforna da sempre ottimi libri di ricette e questo non sfigura affatto: 180 tipi di torte e dolci in crosta, dai più tradizionali alle varianti un pochino più sperimentali, comprese monoporzioni, pops e bicchierini, tutti testati nelle cucine della redazione con un format che garantisce il successo casalingo.
Due motivi di particolare interesse: l'ottima cura formale in stile “comfort food”, che si esprime nelle coperture (intrecciate o croccanti o meringate, in tutte le varianti), e le torte con abbinamenti speciali (zenzero-prugna-pera, ricotta-limone-timo, uva spina-fiori di sambuco-meringa, fichi-ciliege-noci, cioccolato-macha-melograna).
Per chi ha un interesse specifico, sono presenti torte con tipici ingredienti Usa (noci pecan, burro d'arachidi, zucca e patate dolci) o veri e propri dolci nazionali; unica difficoltà o fastidio, il sistema di pesi e misure (ma una tavola delle conversioni è presente nelle pagine finali, oltre ad un indice con un utilissimo calcolo delle calorie a porzione).
