The Book on Pie: Everything You Need to Know to Bake Perfect Pies by Erin Jeanne McDowell
5.0
Explains all the whys and hows of pie crust. What flours and fats to use and how they vary the texture and taste of the crust. Helpful tips for having a successful pie base. It has troubleshooting tips for what to do, pros and cons to food processor versus hand mixing, and pictures of how to roll out.
This book also provides vegan and gluten free options. I cannot believe all the pie crust options in this book. The title is perfect. This book taught me I know NOTHING about pie. NOTHING. So many ideas and options. Not just fruit pies and sweet pies but savory options too for pot pie crust, etc. Ideas for what to do with the scraps. How to season it different ways. I was just amazed with it. I loved seeing all the pictures of different ways to crimp the crust and decorate. Soooo many tips. This would be a great addition to any pie lover or baker's cookbook collection.
Thanks netgalley for the arc, these thoughts and opinions on the book are totally my own.
