Reviews for The New Pie: Modern Techniques for the Classic American Dessert

Even if you don't have the slightest inclination to bake a pie--ever--you'll find delight thumbing through this gorgeous, inspired volume. If you do bake, I guarantee you'll dog-ear page after page. --Merrill Stubbs, cofounder of Food52 I was ready to find this book a bit too over the top; in fact, it's super smart, analytical, and wildly creative at the same time. New and seasoned bakers will find detailed instructions, delicious ideas, and intriguing solutions (and lots of fun). --Alice Medrich, author of Gluten-Free Flavor Flours and Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies Everyone loves pie more than cake. Those that don't are just wrong. The New Pie takes you to the pie chest, with wonderfully detailed recipes that make your pies a consistent part of the way you nourish yourself and the ones you love. It is a tome of proper technique, kneaded with anecdotes, rolled out with rich knowledge, filled with acute insight, and latticed with tender care. Welcome to the infinite world of being a pie lover. --Hugh Acheson, chef and author For pie makers who are looking to up their game, The New Pie fits the bill with inventive recipes, new pie techniques, and beautiful photos showing the creative work of award-winning pie makers Chris Taylor and Paul Arguin. --Kate McDermott, James Beard finalist and author of Art of the Pie: A Practical Guide to Homemade Crusts, Fillings & Life Wonderfully innovative recipes created from a scientific perspective, including thorough explanations for everything from ingredients to techniques. It's everything you need to know about the art of pie making. This book is sure to be a great addition to the cookbook library of both the beginning and the advanced baker. --Linda Hoskins, Executive Director, American Pie Council I was quite happy with the old pie, as my diet coach will unhappily attest, but now that I've gotten my hands (and my fork) on The New Pie, I can't imagine dessert without this gorgeous cookbook. What a delicious debut from this dynamic duo of inventive, inspiring, and irrefutably sweet bakers! --Frank DeCaro, author of The Dead Celebrity Cookbook and Drag: Combing Through the Big Wigs of Show Business
