Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent Cooks Need this Book... I have this book and have bought it for my daughters... this is the best pie tart book I have ever used. Cooks who love pies/tarts will appreciate this book and Ms. Walters newer version, I also have. This is a great gift for a bride or new cook. First place I go for a special dessert. I use to think I made the world's best pumpkin pie, until I tried the one in this book, with the pecan crust. It is out of this world, rich, elegant and simple. Rating: - Brilliant pie cookbookI *could not* make a pie or tart before this book. The layout is brilliant, helping you get a firm grasp on the basics then allowing you to branch from there. The recipes work and people now ooh and ahh at my pies and tarts. Seriously. She really makes it easy and lets you in on the little tips and tricks that bring you from average to outstanding pastry. Also, there are always excellent alternatives to using a food processor. I never use one and I very much disagree with that portion of the amazon review. This is probably the most useful cookbook I own, and I've probably got at least 100 of them. Rating: - Kudos to Carole Walter: A Wonderful Chef, Teacher, Author"Great Pies & Tarts" proves its worth, as your taste will attest, when you sample the results from the instructions and recipies presented. Please note, Arthur Schwartz, a wonderful culinary professional, is not a co-author as advertised. Examining the book will confirm this. Rating:  - Good recipes, poor organizationAlthough there are some good recipes in this book (blueberry tart with walnut topping is one) I spent a lot of time flipping pages, trying to find information. I feel like the book could have been organized more effectively, which is unfortunate considering how much useful information it contains. Overall a good addition to the recipe library, but I often find myself using other references to supplement this book. Also, in a few cases I question the techniques or ingredients, for instance the use of baking powder in the food processor version of the "flaky pie crust."
