Reviews"Picture the pie as a blank canvas for edible art--or at least that's the premise behind this gorgeous cookbook. And forget about the intimidation factor; the beginner chapter eases you into pie crust decor with only a few special tools (think cool cookie cutters). As the book progresses, so do your skills."

The recipes and techniques presented in this book give any home baker the tools they need to create breathtaking works of pie art. From preparation of the dough to the last moments of baking, all methods are clearly presented using step-by-step photographs.
