PieLove

Shop Notes:

For those who maybe are beginner pie bakers (or those who believe that 'beginner' is a boastful word), this book is for you.  If you're looking for something creative and educational to do with your kids, then this book is for you.  I think my favorite part of Warren Brown's ode to pie is that the recipes reflect his desire for clean flavors based on traditional, straightforward methods, which makes this book a fantastic resource for teaching you and your kids how to measure, stir, thicken, pat, pour...and then stare earnestly into the oven while all your hard work becomes golden and delicious.

Mr. Brown's writing tone is friendly, approachable, and encouraging.  Just what any novice pie-maker, or frankly anyone these days, needs when spending some therapy time in the kitchen.

As for the recipes themselves, Brown covers a cross-section of American pie recipes and preparations from all regions.  We are talking lemon meringue, Bourbon Pie (aka, Derby Pie), Sugar pie...and then he's off into other applications like turnovers, galettes, tarts, and savory pies.  Just wonderful.
