The Pie and Pastry Bible

Not all it's cracked up to be
I've had this book for over a year and I must say that as time goes by, I am less and less impressed with this book. I have no problem following instructions yet it took me three tries to get some of these recipes to turn out. I never got her sweet nut crust to work. I used the recipe from "In the Sweet Kitchen" instea...

Devil's in the details.
The recipe instructions are inconsistent and ridiculously overcomplicated. "Great" pumpkin pie, for example. The instructions say to bake the pie directly on the oven floor. If you have a gas oven that heats from the bottom, you are getting nothing but a burnt pie (thanks for a Thanksgiving failure, Rose). Designer App...

After reading just a couple of her receipies, I discovered this book is not for the faint at heart when it comes to baking.

best pastry book
I never make a pie or pastry crust using anyone else's recipe. I know it won't be as good, so I just don't do it. I always use one from this book. That way, there's no anxiety. I know with certainty the crust will be perfect.

we ordered these as part of a Halloween costume.It is very very flimsy and is literally falling apart after only a few minutes out of the box...While it is "light and safe" as per another reviewer's comment, kids will want to mimic sword fighting.
