COOKING

Few things in life are as inviting as the smell of a fresh baked pie coming out of the oven, and what could be more satisfying than serving up a culinary masterpiece that you have created yourself? Pies and tarts take on many incarnations; they can contain sweet or savoury fillings, have a top crust or be open faced, may be served a la mode or handheld. In this title, you'll find all the classics, including apple pie, peach cobbler and Tarte Tatin, as well as more unusual fare such as pear and almond tart, Jamaican Patties and Epiphany Pie. 500 Pies and tarts is a compendium that will inspire even the most reluctant cook to embrace their inner baker. For the baker who is looking to expand his or her repetoire, the variations demonstrate just how easily this can be done and offer a wealth of inspiration.
