Dinner Pies: From Shepherd's Pies and Pot Pies to Tarts, Turnovers, Quiches, Hand Pies, and More, with 100 Delectable and Foolproof Recipes Hardcover – October 27, 2015

It only has measure by volume, not weight with the recipes. Hopefully since Americans are FINALLY measuring by grams instead of cups and spoons, cookbook authors will catch up and include metric as well as imperial measure on all recioes.If I had done my due diligence beofre buying this book, I would have passed.

I have made several of the savory pies from this cookbook. My wife loves the shepherd's pie. We make several and give the extras to needy families and the elderly on fixed incomes. What a joy to give such delicious, nutritious meals. Every pie has been a resounding success.

The title is a bit of ruse. The book is primarily an amalgam of savory pastries in various guises & forms some of which happen to be actual pies (i.e., the one featured so prominently on the cover). Why the publisher chose this tittle & the featured cover photo seemingly has more to do with enticing potential sales than it does with the contents of the book. After a pretty thorough read, & as an earlier review notated, the chapter on crust is the most worthwhile. Otherwise the book lacked a certain cohesiveness with recipes running from the creatively traditional (too few) to the distinctly off beat. With recipes running rather long, ingredients in often unfamiliar combination, & most without any picture your sense of what you'd actually be making can be somewhat of a mystery. This is unfortunate as Mr. Haedrich is a charming author with a good voice. The book went back to Amazon.

As with another reviewer, my husband brought this book for me from the library. After looking through it, I ordered two! One for me and one for my Mom! We just finished eating the Chicken, Broccoli and Cheddar Turnovers and they were awesome! The dough was very easy to make and use and we kept saying "That's good dough." Would recommend to those afraid of pie crusts as well as those that know their way with a rolling pin! :-)

This book is constructed very well. I rarely read introductions/prefaces. I indulged myself, and was trapped. I've tried several of the recipes and they are very good. I highly recommend this book.

We love this book! Checked it out from the library originally, and there were so many good recipes we just had to own a copy. My favorite so far is the Curried Chicken Pot Pie, but there are lots of recipes to love here. Good directions, some useful photos. A must-have if you're a pie/quiche/pot-pie lover.

Must have for meat pie lovers!

I just finished trying one of the recipes in this book, Cornish Meat Pies, and WOW. The recipe was fun to make and turned out great the first time. I would highly recommend this cook book to anyone who likes to eat and who would like to find different ways to cook the usual ingredients.

Lovely book thank you !!!

So pleased with this cookbook, very well written, lots of good info, good recipes, great illustrations. I really liked that it had lots of different pastry recipes. It was a good read plus good recipes.

I bought this for a friend. The book itself is great - lots of photos, hardcover, and inspirational when you’re looking for new ways to make pie. Only issue is that the book was a little banged up on the edges. It’d be great to pad the box a little better in the future.

Würde das dreifache an Photos benötigen und weniger Blabla bei den Beschreibungen (English native speaker here, sprache war nicht das Problem)

Arrived in a timely fashion, product was as described and in great shape.Thank you
