Title: The Pie and Pastry Bible
Review: Rose has pie and pastry baking down to an exact science. Her recipes are very exact, they specify ingredients frequently by brand name, baking techniques, and even which bakeware to use. I find that if I follow her recipe EXACTLY, the results are spectacular. However, following her recipe exactly takes a lot of time, if you take any shortcut, or delete a setp, then the results are less than average. I recommend this book for people who want excellent results and are willing to invest a lot of time, effort, and money in their baking. Rose's instructions are very precise, so I think all levels of cooks could use this book successfully. I would not recommend this cookbook for anyone who wants to spend less than an afternoon baking a pie or pastry.
