Farmhand's Favorite Pies: Recipes, Hints, and How-To's from the Heartland

This book is great! Wonderful, illustrated instructions for baking pies. Goes over a lot of the frequent mishaps so that you can avoid them. I bought a copy a couple years ago and this time I bought one for each of my family members. They've loved it!

Yes. This book was my first entrance into pie making. Between the "never-fail" dough recipe and the many delicious pie making options, I tell you, I have swooned groups of friends and strangers alike with the deep-dish apple crumb pie. Unbelievable. Everybody thought I had been baking for years... Come summer, I whipped out the Farmhand's cherry pie, and oh my goodness, the party throwers I gave it to never got a slice! The entire pie vanished they never got a chance to see it! It was just that good... I highly recommend these delicious homemade recipes. Obviously a lot of delicate care and fine tasting went into creating these spirit-enhancing gifts of wonder.

This is the only cookbook that I have ever had that had 100% good recipes in it. The procedures are easy-to-follow and the results never fail. I had trouble making meringue before I bought this but it taught me exactly how to make it work every single time (even on cloudy days).The pie crust recipes are really "never-fail" since they are easy to work with and don't stick to everything unlike most other recipes. The fillings themselves are well thought out and tasty while not needing many expensive or out-of-the ordinary ingredients.Although some pies (especially the meringue ones) take time to make you will reap the results 10,000 fold. Once I took a pie to share with my friends and now they ask for them every time I see them!

wonderful book with wonderful, mouthwatering recepies. great easy-to-follow-steps, tips for those of us with numerous misstakes in piebaking behind us. your pies will be appriciated by everyone from grandma' to baby, not only for the delicious tastes but also for the way they put a smile on your face even before you had your first bite!
