| Introducing these sweet and savory recipes (e.g., maple cream pie, beef and cheese empanadas), culinary instructor Migoya defines pie-making tools, ingredients, and techniques and clearly explains their importance. She also covers seasonal availability of fruits and vegetables, best apples for baking, and protein percentages of supermarket flours. Readers will find the traditional crust and filling recipes they expect, plus surprising and versatile variations. Step-by-step photographs accompany the more challenging techniques, and all recipes include weight and volume measurements. VERDICT Technically sound and refreshingly contemporary, this comprehensive collection can help motivated bakers produce superior pastries and dream up new creations. Lisa Campbell. 320p.

| No American meal seems quite complete without pie for dessert. Although it has many foreign antecedents, the pie, especially its apple version, may be America's quintessential food. Nevertheless, many otherwise competent American cooks quail at the very thought of having to produce a pie, fearing tough, leaden, or unattractive crusts and runny, flavorless fillings. So who better than the Culinary Institute of America to step up to the plate with sound instruction on how to make a great pie? Pastry chef Migoya inventories piecrust's basic ingredients, explaining how each affects outcome. She then offers variations to complement a host of fillings. Beyond expected fruit pies, she shows how to create successful cream and custard pies. Nut pies, such as the ever-popular pecan pie, get special treatment. More formal tarts appear with their pastry-cream bases. Hearty, savory main courses, such as chicken potpie, empanadas, and quiches, also receive just treatment. Knoblauch, Mark. 320p. AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, c2014. |

| This CIA title includes more than 150 recipes for savory and sweet pies and tarts, ranging in skill level from beginner to expert. Baking purists will rejoice in the inclusion of weights and measurements (as well as volume). From flan rings to hand pie molds, to pizza stones, a primer on baking equipment, along with a concise yet thorough ingredients section gets home bakers up and running before getting their hands dusty with flour while preparing Apple Tarte Tatin, Black Bean and Corn Empanadas, Concord Grape Pie, and a Honey Orange Tart. A selection of recipes include easy-to-make swaps and additions--taking a tomato, mozzarella, and basil galette and changing out the cheese selection for goat, as well as a pecan pie that is elevated to the next flavor level with the addition of chocolate chunks or cranberries. A solid, trustworthy title that is sure to come off the shelf even after the holiday baking rush. (Mar.). 320p. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, c2013. |
