Summary: Brings pie-making down to a do-able level.
Comment: Making pastry is perhaps the bane of all bakers, even the professional ones. But with this book, the process will hopefully be made easier and certainly less painful. The book begins with a short introduction on what a pie is (a delicious combination of filling and pastry), and then moves on to the basics in making pastry. Unlike other baking books that take up pages and pages outlining the process, this book sums it all up quite succinctly in just three pages.
Move on from there into fruit pies, classic tarts, fruit tarts, nut tarts and pies, as well as French and Italian pastries like the creme brulee tart and the torta di zabaglione (ooh la la!).
Like all of Linda Collister's previous books, Sweet Pies and Tarts doesn't skimp on the gorgeous photography. It's worth way more than what you have to pay for this book.
