Description
After the success of Perfect Pies, National Pie Baking Champion (27 times!) Michele Stuart went back into the kitchen—the same kitchen in Vermont where she first dreamed up the award-winning creations that inspired her to open the popular Michele’s Pies shops. Returning there also meant returning to the cherished pies she learned to bake under her grandmother’s and mother’s watchful eyes, as well as the wonderful cakes, cookies, and other sweet treats that became their family tradition.
 
In her newest cookbook, Perfect Pies & More, Stuart delves deeper into her roots while creating delicious new memories made with love and care. Inside, you’ll find tantalizing recipes—some easy-to-bake, some requiring a bit more finesse—for dozens of her favorite fruit, nut, and cream pies, and so much more.

        In her follow-up to Perfect Pies, decorated pie baker Stuart (she's won 26 blue ribbons) shares more of her award-winning specialties alongside cookies, bars, tea cakes, and other treats. She includes unique choices for special occasions--birthday cake surprise "pie" (a frosted cake in a crust), star-spangled flag pie, and apple caramel crunch pie, for example--as well as sugar-free options and easy, everyday recipes. Each recipe has clear instructions, with detailed information on serving and storage. VERDICT Highly recommended for readers looking for a mostly traditional American baking collection with some creative surprises. Stuart's debut was popular, so public libraries can expect demand.
