Buy It
This is the only cookbook that I have ever had that had 100% good recipes in it. The procedures are easy-to-follow and the results never fail. I had trouble making meringue before I bought this but it taught me exactly how to make it work every single time (even on cloudy days).

The pie crust recipes are really "never-fail" since they are easy to work with and don't stick to everything unlike most other recipes. The fillings themselves are well thought out and tasty while not needing many expensive or out-of-the ordinary ingredients.

Although some pies (especially the meringue ones) take time to make you will reap the results 10,000 fold. Once I took a pie to share with my friends and now they ask for them every time I see them!
