Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Called "pleasing to both palate and palette" by The Washington Post, this enticing collection of sophisticated yet easy-to-make recipes is now available for the first time in a large-format paperback edition. Each of the 38 pies has been striking photographed against a background of art created especially for the book by contemporary artists across the country.

Amazon.com Review:
The Artful Pie marries food with art in an original way. Lisa Cherkasky, a cook and food stylist, created the book's 36 recipes. With Renée Comet, she commissioned 36 works of art. Then she and Comet, a food photographer, paired each pie with one of the artworks. You may enjoy the color spreads where the pies decorate or interact with the art or you can skip right to the often-original pie recipes. Some are elemental, like Fresh Peach Pie. Others are creative, but still simple, including Maple Sugar and Cream, and Upside Down Fried Pear. A few are production numbers. Sweet Cheese and Raspberry, and Chocolate Caramel Hazelnut Pies look worth the effort.

If you like looking at clever & beautiful art and you like pie, you will love this book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of my favorite cookbooks
The book is beautiful to look through, and every recipie so far has been a winner. The addition of various liquors and wines, and the creative mixtures of ingredients and crusts give these pies a unique and wonderful taste.
