I LOVE to bake pies, and this book is my pie-Bible! My family particularly raves over the cherry and apple pies I have made from this cookbook. I like to try different pie crust recipes from this book, besides all the different fillings. This is the ONE cookbook I turn to when I am going to bake a pie for company or a bake sale. Each recipe has been delicious. There are sections devoted to fruit pies, cream pies, and savory pies. There are instructions on how to bake a no-fail pie crust. There are many full-color pictures of the completed pies, too. All in all, it's a treasure! Add this to your cookbook collection and you won't be disappointed.
The best pie cookbook ever
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This pie cookbook has techniques and recipes for everone from the beginning pie baker to the most experienced. The fruit pies cannot be beat, and the main dish pies are very good. Best of all is the section on crusts - different types, and how to produce a great-looking and great-tasting pie. My copy of this book is over 20-years old. If there is ever a fire, I'm saving the Farm Journal pie cookbook.

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. I PURCHASED MINE 25 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE AND IT IS A WONDERFUL COOKBOOK. THE PIE CRUSTS RECEIPES ARE TRIED & TRUE. ONE CRUST, TWO CRUST, HEART HEALTHY, TARTS, TURNOVERS, PUFF PASTRY, AND MORE! THE DIRECTIONS ARE CLEAR AND CONSISE. THE BOOK IS WRITTEN IN A GREAT STYLE. A SHORT DESCRIPTION/HISTORY PRECEEDS EACH RECEIPE, ADDING INTEREST FOR THE BAKER. ALSO TIPS ARE GIVEN ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR PIES LOOK NICE-CRUST EDGINGS & SHINY TOPS. MANY RECEIPES, FRUIT, MAIN DISH, ETC. MY COPY IS FALLING APART & FLOUR DUST THE PAGES. A GREAT BOOK.
Great for seasoned bakers and beginners alike

I recently received this book as a gift and to be honest I had never baked a pie before. I thought that I would never be able to master making my own pastry or even come close to baking a successful pie but this book has so many great recipes and instructional passages that it was a snap. Baking pies is now one of my favorite things to do. There is even a section of "savory main dish pies", that contains a number of quick and easy recipes for dinner-time. Great as a gift for yourself or someone else!
