Pie

Author: Angela Boggiano

From English “pie and a pint” to American apple pie, everybody loves it! Here is the story of pie—along with the secrets of how to make it—told in irresistible recipes and fantastic photos. First, take a bite of pie history, starting with the first order in a 9th-century French abbey for goose and chicken pies; meet the piemakers; and witness the luscious innovations. Then master the basic art of pastrymaking and learn how to transform even the most frugal vegetable filling into a luxuriant creation with elaborate curves and flutings. Bake Raised Pork Pie, portable pasties for picnics, Christmas mince pies, a succulent pear and nut pie, the ultimate deep cherry pie, and more.
