5.0 out of 5 stars a super classic, December 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cobblers, Crisps, and Deep-Dish Pies (American Baking Classics) (Hardcover)

This little book is a super classic that I return to over and over again when i want to make a desert with fruit but don't want the time to make a pie. Her three types of crisp toppings are super and I use the oatmeal topping over and over again. any of Lisa's books are wonderful. they are easy and assessable recipies geared to the home baker regardless of skill.

When I wish to make a fruit cobbler or crisp this is the book I go to first. Recipes are fairly simple, very flavorful, and results have been for me consistently delicious. I blame the book on that, not necessarily the technique or execution.
I would recommend this book to anyone.

I am so disappointed in this cook book. It is by the author of "Country Pies" (which I love)but in my estimation, this book is a total waste of money. It arrived in practically brand new condition, and I can see why. I can only say that I am happy I found it on Amazon and didn't pay full price for it!!!
