Maida Heatter's Pies and Tarts

All of Maida Heater’s books 📚 are full of great recipes, substitution info, easy to use.And her books are generally a fun read!!

This one finally rounds out my Maida Heatter collection! I bought it because all of her baking cookbooks are the best! They are the type of recipes that your friends and family will love. I really like the pie recipes, and I also like the section on mousses, pudding, and custards because you could easily use many of them as pie fillings in a pre-baked pie crust. If you are serious about baking you should have this and any other Maida Heatter cookbook in your collection as well. While these are not "quick and easy" recipes, they are worth the time and effort they take if you enjoy scratch baking.

Found out about maida through an aunt's "great chocolate desserts" book and i'm always looking for a good pie book and this one doesn't disappoint. Everything i've made so far is ridiculously tasty; i do tend to scale down on the sugar, though. My only warning is that the book is half recipes for pie and half recipes for other things including cobblers, mousses, sauces, and more. I think it's a nice bonus while others seem to feel they've been duped. Some basics like a peach pie are not included, but there are several interesting pie recipes. I'll probably make them all :) however, it probably could have done without the "fruit desserts" section, which mostly consists of baked, stewed or marinated fruits with cream/honey/alcohol.

Great recipes as usual from the great Maida Heatter.

My wife would constantly go to her parent's house to borrow their Maida Heatter books. I decided it was time for us to have some of our own. I was quite pleased to find there were books that had aggregated her recipes by type. This way we do not have to try to remember which pie is in which book. It's also nice having a large format hard cover rather than paperbacks that are harder to keep open to the page you are using.

Nice recipes for dessert

You can never go wrong with Maida Heatter, from anotgher Maida!
