Three stars for sooooooo many sweets. I guess I was thinking about empanadas and handheld pot pies when I bought this and somehow expected more savory ones. There's still quite a few but the majority are sweets.
The crusts are legit though, you could use them for pot pies too.
I initially bought this book to jump-start me in making mini pies, but it really offers ideas on a whole heck of a lot more. This book may not work for newbie cooks because of the lack of pictures, but for those that are more experienced, and need only good ideas that can be expanded on, this book is great.
The one thing that I don't like about this book is the way the recipes for pies is categorized. Some of the categories in the contents page are Ten Top Classics, Berry Yummy Pies, Apples, pears and Stone Fruit, Holiday Pies, Meat and Seafood Pies, etc. If you were looking for a pie to make with a certain meat, for example, it may be in Ten Top Classics, Holiday Pies, or Meat and Seafood Pies. If you know exactly what the pie is called, you can find it in the index at the back of the book. Otherwise, you may have to look through multiple categories to find it.

Thank you Julie Anne Hession for creating this cook book.
Best of all, there are variations on each and every recipe making it a lot more 175!
