Product Description
Product Description
French chefs are the masters of tortes and other pastries, and Italians make the world's best ice creams, but no one surpasses American cooks when it comes to making pies. Whether the flaky crust is filled with sweet summer berries, tart apples, chocolate custard, or coconut cream, almost everyone will choose a well-made pie over any other dessert.
James McNair now presents his easy, step-by-step procedures for making the perfect crust, along with thirty-five recipes for tantalizing pie fillings. Among the delicious pies are Bourbon Pecan, Coffee Crunch, Classic Lemon Meringue, Papaya Paradise, Apple Orchard, and Summer Peach, each beautifully photographed by Patricia Brabant.
Check out all of James McNair's Chronicle cookbooks!

The Most Awesome Pie Book Ever Written!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: James McNair's Pie Cookbook (Hardcover)
I've been baking pies for over 30 yrs. and consider myself an above-average baker. However, the "Making Perfect Pies" section has tips on baking pie crusts that I have never seen in any other book - it calls for a couple of more steps in the process, but these extra steps are WELL worth it. I only make my pie crusts the "James McNair" way now - and the results have been incredible. All my pies now get RAVE reviews! Thank you, James McNair is all I can say.

The best pie cookbook ever written!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: James McNair's Pie Cookbook (Paperback)
Wow! The previous reviewer is exactly right on every point. These recipes are awesome. The pictures are gorgeous. Everyone raves about my pie crust, which tastes and looks great! The pecan pie is especially good -- not too sweet, and the sweet potato pie is to die for. The coconut-coconut-coconut pie is my husband's favorite, but I like the summer peach pie the best. If you like to bake pies - or eat them - buy this book.

Yumm!!!!!!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: James McNair's Pie Cookbook (Paperback)
If you want to take the time to build a pie from scratch and are looking for recipes that will give you the best results, this is the book. We tried about 5 of the recipes in 3 weeks and each was better than the one before it. (I gained a quick 5 pounds during this time.) Although we didn't try some of the more exotic recipes in the book yet, we fully intend to work our way through them all. The presentation of the pie is also a highlight of the recipes. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. There's a picture with each to give you some idea of the end product. This book gets our highest recommendation.

Yummmmmy!,
By Elaine Sullivan "Pie Master" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: James McNair's Pie Cookbook (Paperback)
This was the first cookbook I used to make a pie; that was 17 years ago and it is the ONLY book I use for making pies. People try to give me other pie cookbooks, but they don't even come close to Mr. McNair's book. Easy to follow recipes, beautiful photos and scrumptous pies. No one else in my family will make a pie. I am known among family and friends for being the best pie maker and I owe it all to this wonderful little book. I even bought a back up copy for when the first falls apart!
