The Perfect Pie: Your Ultimate Guide to Classic and Modern Pies, Tarts, Galettes, and More (Perfect Baking Cookbooks)

Like all ATK books the recipes are dependable. I haven't tried the new crust recipe yet but I will. I was surprised that they didn't include a basic pie crust recipe that doesn't need a food processor but I have one so that's fine. My only big surprise and it has been a surprise in all their recent baking books is that they do not provide measurements in grams. They are so precise about everything else. If you are going to suggest that people have a scale why not include grams? It's so much more accurate and all of the newer baking books like King Arthur and those written by pastry chefs provide those measurements. Lots of good tips for success in this book and I'm reading all the techniques before I jump in on my next fruit pie. Very good for beginners and even though I have baked a lot of pies I have already picked up a lot of new tips. Also not just the old favorites. They have included some interesting flavors and ingredients and I liked the idea of adding some favorings to the basic butter crust.

This is a great book. Best crust I ever made. Brought the blueberry pie for Xmas family dinner and got rave reviews. I can't wait to test all the recipes.

A wonderful resource for pie lovers. And, who isn't?

America's Test Kitchen has done it again. A variety of options, clear instructions, and lots of beautiful pictures. I can't wait to start baking!

This cookbook is full of a variety of delicious recipes. With classic pies like apple and French silk to icebox pies and tartlets, this is definitely a must have for any baker. My favorite so far is the Summer Berry Pie! Perfect dessert for a hot summer day!

This is a beautiful cookbook with beautiful illustrations. The only downside is that the recipes are quite complicated with numerous steps.

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.

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.

Excellent recipes and tons of key tips for new bakers. Lots of photos for technique. HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking to truly learn the art of pie. In photos the ones I made from this book :)

Great list of items

Me acaba de llegar. Pero he hojeado las recetas y se ven sencillas y realistas.

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).
