I’ve never been a big fan of guided cooking, with one hot exception: baking. The practice is so precise and often demands such accurate ratios between the ingredients of any given recipe that a list of measurements and step-by-step instructions is a must.
And whether it’s for Thanksgiving dinner or a Pi Day celebration, pies can dominate an evening’s desserts. And when it comes to pies, there are so many varieties and styles, whether former President Barack Obama’s favorite sweet potato pecan pie or the lauded tomato pie. What’s sure is that learning from others, or at least giving their concoctions a try, is a great way to widen your pie aperture.
We put together a list of some of the best selling pie-centric cookbooks out there, complete with their prices and some publisher info. These are perfect for your own sweet tooth or as a great gift that you will benefit from when it culminates in a pie you get to try.
