Angela B: I was so excited to get this book and have been waiting since Erin announced it. I have many pie cookbooks and I absolutely love making pie. I had two pies to make for a silent auction donation as well as all of the pies for my family Thanksgiving. I also bake competitive pies. I am not a pie novice by any stretch. Unfortunately, I have to share my disappointment with this book. Although beautiful and inspiring, please proceed with caution. If your gut tells you not to do something- don't do it! Here are the issues I had making the recipes with complete faith:
1. I followed Erin's recipe for all-butter pie dough. I have a standby recipe I use but I figured in for a penny, in for a pound. The dough looked exactly as Erin suggests it should in her pie dough guide but felt dry to me. No worries, I left it to hydrate in the fridge overnight. Unfortunately, when I pulled it out in the morning, it was still crumbly and could not be rolled without breaking. I had to make up a new batch of dough right then for my silent auction pies (from another recipe). I figured it was my mistake and forged ahead with the pies.
2. I started on the chocolate raspberry pie. My sister loves...

DeeDiDee: If you are already familiar with Erin McDowell from her previous book, The Fearless Baker, you know her recipes have that something special. If you already live in a home filled with dessert cookbooks, you may be asking yourself if this book is really worth adding one more book to your already straining bookcase. The answer to that question is undoubtedly yes. This isn't just a book on pie; it's the most joyful but exhaustive text on pies I've seen to date.

The chapters are arranged by introductory material; doughs and crust; fruit pies; custard pies cream, chiffon, & cold-set pies; and savory pies. The book ends with a page of resources to help you locate any uncommon items. First and foremost, I want to convey that I have enough baking experience that I typically skip over the introductory notes in any cookbook, unless we're talking about something I haven't excelled in such as pastry. I confess that when it comes to pie making, I have developed a certain laziness that hasn't been helpful in learning to consistently make a good pie crust. This material will painlessly walk you through the bare elements of equipment (pie weights, pie plates, and rolling pins) and then...

Amazon Kunde: "The Book on Pies"

Der Titel verrät zwar, um was es in diesem Buch geht, aber nicht, wie großartig dieses Buch geworden ist.
Das Buch dreht sich ab der ersten Seite nur um Pies, es fängt mit einer kleinen Waren- und Gerätekunde an, Umschreibungen von verschiedenen Backtechniken und Dekorationen, es folgen ettliche Rezepte von Grundteigen und Füllungen.

Der Inhalt ist sehr übersichtlich gegliedert in Frucht-Pies, bedeckte Pies, Creme- bzw kalte Pies und deftige Pies.
Die Autorin geht auf verschiedene Variationen ihrer Rezepte ein und ermutigt den Bäcker auch unterschiedlichste Böden mit Belägen zu komibieren. Dadurch entstehen unendlich viele verschiedene Pies.
Immer wieder tauchen in diesem Buch Kästen auf, in denen verschiedene Probleme, die beim Backen auftauchen können, behoben werden.

Dieser Titel stellt ein wahres Wunder an Ideen und Wissen dar . Ich habe selten ein so gutes und umfassendes Backbuch in der Hand gehabt!
Ergänzt wird es von wunderbaren Fotografien von Mark Weinberg, die einem das Wasser im Mund zusammenlaufen lassen.
