From the Publisher

Premier pie expert Haedrich (Pie: 300 Tried-and-True Recipes for Delicious Homemade Pie) devotes his latest title to savory pastries, a topic covered more often in books published in the UK (e.g., Angela Boggiano's Pie and Laura Mason's Good Old-Fashioned Pies and Stews) than in the United States. His infectious "lust for crust" permeates all aspects of this cookbook, which includes excellent tips on pie pan selection, 13 dough variations, and dozens of distinctive recipes (e.g., vegetable pot pie with a pumpkin-sage biscuit crust, Swiss chard and quinoa quiche with a sesame-studded crust, and Philly cheesesteak hand pies). Haedrich's techniques and preferences have evolved since his previous titles; his basic pie doughs have new ratios of butter to shortening, as well as surprise additions of cornstarch and white vinegar. VERDICT Essential for novice and proficient pie bakers, this pleasing companion to Haedrich's definitive Pie is an instant classic.
