This review is from: 500 Pies & Tarts: The Only Pie & Tart Compendium You'll Ever Need (Hardcover)
I tried a couple of the recipes in the book. The measurements for ingredients were all off. I am a novice pie maker but after two recipes failed to produce, I checked with my more experienced baking friends. The basic crumb crust recipe calls for one cup of crumbs for a 9 inch pie plate. That barely covers the bottom of the plate. My friends confirmed that they would always use 1 1/2 cups of crumbs for a 9 inch pie. Other similar recipes on the Internet I checked also called for 1 1/2 cups. The two pies I tried both produced so much more filling than could fit in the pie plate, I had to dump about half a cup down the drain both times. I didn't try any more recipes because I was sick of wasting time and ingredients.

This review is from: 500 Pies & Tarts: The Only Pie & Tart Compendium You'll Ever Need (Hardcover)
The 500 pies and tarts provides 125 recipes for a variety of desserts from everyday use to special occasions. Each of the 125 recipes has four minor variations that tweak the item into a different version by adding a new flavor profile. Overall it is an average cookbook but for those who are skilled in baking like my wife it provides base recipes that can then be used to make their own variations while using this as a widespread springboard and because the recipes are chosen for easy variations they lend themselves to creating your own as well. We have only found a few recipes to be a little vague on the directions but overall have not had too many problems with this book. Overall well recommended for those that are looking for a lot of dessert recipes that can be built on.
I should also note that this has a section on non dessert items like quiche and shepards pie.
