I first got this book in Kindle format from my local library. Once I started reading it, I realized it was a good one, and I needed to buy the hard copy so I could actually cook from it. This is a very helpful book if you're interested in baking tasty pies. Upon receiving this book, I made the Mixed Berry Crumb Pie. It was absolutely delicious! So delicious, I couldn't believe I made it. Not only that, it looked just like the picture on the cover. I like how the author explains every step in a way that is easy to understand, and make each recipe feel approachable. I look forward to trying other recipes in this book. Summer is here; I may try the Peach-Strawberry Crumb Pie next. And then in the fall I will make the Apple Caramel Crunch Pie. I see lots of baking in my future. This book has seriously increased my confidence in my ability to make a tasty pie with a delicious crust. --Robin R.
