A fantastic guide to making easy pies
If you have virtually nothing in your kitchen to bake a pie with try the Shoo Fly pie recipe. Great tips for the newbies and the pros. These recipes are mostly simple with easy to follow directions. I found several recipes that had all the ingredients I needed already in my pantry and that was the day before the big monthly grocery trip. I only wish every recipe had a photo but when it comes to pie I have an excellent imagination.

Wonderful!
What a wonderful, helpful, easy to follow pie book. Well set out, well written and great instructions. The addition of how to make Mini versions was terrific as were the step by step instructions at the start of this book. Loved it!

Typical pie recipes found in any recipe book only put into muffin tins.

This is a really good cookbook featuring dessert pies, both in a regular pie form and in mini pie forms. Included are different pie crust recipes as well. Pies are nothing new to me, but right now, the craze is for things like cupcakes, cake pops, and tarts or mini pies, and this cookbook is full of suggestions for making tasty little sweet morsels. I makes you feel like you can indulge in a mini-pie or two without sabotageing your calorie intake for the week! Nicely edited as well!

Pies and Mini Pies
Lots of tips are the beginning of the book for one who's not baked pies before, also a good refresher for those who have.
Not all recipes have pictures and there is no nutritional information although some are not made with sugar.
Some of the recipes also have directions on how to make the recipe for the mini pie sizes. Lots of categories to choose from.
Other works of the author are highlighted at the end.

Some of these sound good, and some sound super-gross.
