Pie School: Learn to Bake Delicious Fruit Pies with Flour & Butter - Perfect for Home Baking, Holiday Desserts & Family Gatherings

This book is well worth the money. And for a cookbook it is a fun read, as Kate makes pie baking a fulfilling life experience. I have struggled for 50 years to make good piecrust. When I was a child my mother hated to cook, but money was tight so mom could make a None Such Mincemeat pie for 10 cents so we ate lots of pies. My mom had extremely cold hands and hating to cook she gave the flour, salt, Crisco and water a quick stir or two with her hands and we had piecrust that was flaky and wonderful. However, I love to cook and bake and spent way too much time kneading the crust into an inedible piece of plaster of Paris. Kate has shown me the secret to really good crust, with good commentary and photos. I have made several apple pies and even one as a gift. Helped my granddaughter learn to make an apple pie on FaceTime and she was told by a friend, "That's the best apple pie I've ever eaten." Thanks to Kate !!!!
